Too little time to take full advantage of the self-guides. We entered the site at 2:20 p.m. and had to leave at 4:30 p.m. to arrive in time at the meeting place for departure. Barely 2 hours while we are announced a 3 hour visit. You have to hide the information on the audio guide and there is no time to visit souvenir shops or shops outside the Châreau site.

By the time you get in and have to leave you have about 2 hours which you will need to rush through to get it done. The tour come with a dining voucher which we didn’t get and we left at 5:00pm so was too early for dinner anyway. I suggest booking it on your own for this one.

Our bus driver was wonderful. He has been in London for 26 years and came from Albania. His detail and his communication, plus his concern for all the passengers were above and beyond
