Free tour had to be paid before the start

465cinam, Dec 2024

The guide, Fabien, demanded 10€ from each of us before starting the tour.

We know that we normally need to pay something, but it is at the end of the tour, never at the beginning and there is no minimum amount.

Fabien said he had to pay 3€ to register us on the platform, because we were a group of 10 people.

The tour was good, but not extaordinary.
