The address of the meeting point was incorrect. It had been changed that very morning. Confusion, loss of time to find another couple that was paired with us. The guide explained everything well throughout the tour. A small piece of advice, always ask people at the start if they need to use the restroom because there isn't one along the route.
Guide was interesting and punctual,liked to speak in French with me Guide shared his knowledge easily
