“We received notification from this tour company asking if we can switch our afternoon tour to the morning, which we had no problem doing. By doing so, we were actually given the option to continue this half day tour and make it a whole day tour, going North to Cannes and Antibes for a reduced rate. While we declined the option (we had been to Cannes the day before), what a great option to offer, so thank you for allowing the flexibility. The tour was actually the day after the Grand Prix in Monaco, so we were actually able to drive (at a greatly reduced speed) some parts of it…”
