Great Value To See High-Value Tourist Attractions - This was the best, most efficient, and most cost-effective option for us to see both Albi and Cordes/Ciel from Toulouse in one day, including time to visit the huge church, garden area, and inside the Toulouse-Lautrec museum. Although we had left little time for shopping, we did find an amazing pâtisserie in the center of the old town. Cordes/Ciel is an amazing medieval hilltop town. We took the little tourist train from where the bus stops. There was only enough time to walk quickly walk through the town to look around, but that's all we really needed. The bus was very comfortable and air-conditioned, which was very welcome on a very hot summer day.

Dive into the medieval past of Albi - Albi is one of the most beautiful medieval townes in France! We loved this trip! The Episcopal Palace and its gardens and the St Cecile cathedral are stunning!

Enjoyable trip - There is no guide on the bus as they just give you a link to a phone app ( recommend taking Earbuds or headphones) zBoth locations were very imprssive and we thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

Albi & Cordes day trip. - Definitely worth doing this tour to see Cordes in addition to Albi. Personally, I would have preferred to swap 30 minutes of time in Cordes for additional time in Albi as there is much more to do there but that is only my opinion. It was an extremely hot day but bus was comfortable with good air conditioning. Driver was very friendly and welcoming.

Efficient way to visit these very interesting locations. - This was an efficient and comfortable way to visit these two historical and interesting towns. The coach was comfortable and everything ran exactly on time. The audio guide content is also written in the app to which is provided, if you want audio bring your earbuds, they aren’t provided and you’ll use your phone to access their app. There is no human guide but a very capable driver. We had a great day and especially enjoyed the Toulouse Latrec museum. Cordes offers some very nice artisan shops.

Get better buses - Bus was awful - no air conditioning and driver wasn't good. Wouldn't put the air on more. He said it was fine even though everyone was saying it was too hot.

Rude driver, terrible audio app - We were 2 minutes late getting there. The tire guide was pleasant… but the driver was extremely rude about our lateness - 2 minutes!!! He was rude to us through the journey. And we found out it wasn’t just us - he basically growled at an older gentleman who was a bit late getting back to the bus at Albi. (This was 20 June). And then there is the audio app. It’s a heavy app to download, and it is very complicated to use. If you don’t keep using it you then have to find the tour again and go through half the process. There is a bunch of older people on the bus that I need to help explain how the app worked. And the app itself is not particularly great. In parts of Cordes you can only get 3G and therefore the app basically doesn’t work. In my opinion the marketing material is misleading when it talks about the audio tour.
