A Variety of Excursions

With up to six included excursions each day, it’s easy to personalize your experience in France. In Vienne, for example, choose from a walking tour around the city, a guided bike tour along the ViaRhôna bike route, or a guided hike from the ship to the monastery at Mount Pipet. We also offer culinary-themed special interest tours, such as a red wine and chocolate tasting in Tournon. All of our excursions are offered with AmaWaterways’ compliments.
