Has the food improved? After reading the review about the terrible food on offer I have decided against booking with you. I was going to book a holiday with you but not if the food is so bad - no one expects poor food especially not in that region of France or anywhere in France.
We are aware of the particular review you are referring to from 2019. The review was promptly addressed by the operator at the highest levels to ensure consistent standards going forward. The subsequent reviews paint the operator in a positive light and we see no reason that indicates inconsistent standards in food quality.
Can we join this tour on the 25th and miss the first day of the tour (which is in Lyon in any case)?
If you are looking to join the cruise on the 25th of September, this will need to be requested with their operational team, however, it can only be requested after booking. On the first day of the tour, it's only an embarkation day and you won't miss anything, however, it will still need to be requested.
