Nothing; tours charge for the long drive to get there.
Across our own contracted catalogue, sightseeing day tours day tours run to a median of €220 a person, with the cheapest we hold at €202, from 4 operators. Private and per-vehicle products are excluded, because mixing them into a per-person figure makes it meaningless.
