We arrived off the train at 1005 and met the guide to get the train back down at 1040. Not a lot of time. More time was spent picking other hotels up in the morning and then dropping the others on the tour off at sugar loaf mountain before dropping us back at the hotel at the end. If it wasn’t for the 25% TUI staff discount I probably wouldn’t have booked it. It wasn’t the fault of TUI as this was a Gray Line tour.
