  1. Hey Charlotte I sent you an email about two weeks ago trying to arrange our lunch but got no response. Did you still want to meet? Mary-Lynn
  2. I used to think that as well but it is not true. They do take credit cards but you must be closer to sail date. As you can imagine, Covid hit everyone and cancellations and giving money back was not easy I'm sure. I specifically asked this same question of them because I have six tours with them this time and that is a lot of money to have to carry with me. Please contact them again and ask. I know that I for sure am paying by credit card this cruise.
  3. Please, ask them anything. I have always had them personalize. They are one company that really listens. Our second cruise we toured the Almafi Coast with my mom. She is really hard of hearing and she doesn't weigh much. A wind could knock her over. She was around 75-80 at the time, As we are walking down the rock steps into the restaurant I overhear the driver talking to her. He is talking right into her ear, holding on to her arm and guiding her all the while telling her that not only is she beautiful but she has such good balance and how smart she is. You know, the Italian lover you always hear about and want to meet. It made her day and boy did she feel special! Right there he earned his keep - and tip! The restaurant he took us to was amazing. He ordered for us. Now, we didn't know what to expect OR that they were picking up the tab so we were going easy not having seen a menu. The food comes out and we are thinking - man, that isn't much food for three people so we eat sparingly. Then the next course comes. And the next. And the next along with our wine for each course. Oh, and then the desserts. We were so full and so happy to find out it wasn't going to cost us a dime. Just a note - they do still take credit cards but since life changed with Covid going on, they have been forced to change how far in advance you can use a credit card. Now is it 7 to 10 days prior to service. I don't blame them and let's face it, there are so many companies that ended up having to return money when Covid people couldn't travel. Money has been spent and now your trip is cancelled and they have to find it to refund it to you. So far I have had one company in Marseilles that says she never got my money so she can't refund me. Now I have to fight it with Paypal or however it was I paid her. Anyway, just ask Jany about it. If she can make it happen, she will.
  4. I see I posted on this thread way back in 2013. I wanted to update my comments though. This is what I posted on my current cruise. I absolutely love this company. I know that if I am cruising and we are going to Italy, this is where I start. I don''t even need to read their website because they are masters at creating exactly what you need. We are sailing again in June/July and the first place I went was their email. I don't need their website. I've read it before and the only thing I need is the capable hands of their office manager, Jany. Amazingly, this is one company that actually listens to what you want and how you want it. In the nine years since my original comment they have only gotten better. Look up the RomeInLimo website. All the tours they have arranged for me – and this cruise makes six more in total – they have been awesome. If you let Jany know exactly what you want, she will build a tour that meets all of your expectations. That is one of the things I love about them. Most tour companies tell you to check out their website and leave it at that. Not RomeInLimo. You tell them that what they sell isn’t exactly what you are looking for and they will customize it for you. If you want it and they can get it – you will be amazed. As I’ve stated before, every port with them has been totally customized for the kids. Since we are hitting Naples twice we are doing two completely different things. The kids don’t want scenery. Not like an adult would. So in this port they have arranged a private pizza making class. This is the reason I love them. I have never had an issue that they haven’t resolved. Jany has worked there for years and she knows what she is doing. I also found that their prices are competitive with everyone else. The difference is – they offer a top quality tour. This will make our fourth time in Italy and we used them every time. Even when we did three days pre-cruise in Rome. They met us at the airport and did two different days in the countryside, plus the day in Rome with a private guide at the Vatican. We used them to transfer to the ship also. That was another "day" trip. It is hard to forget going up a windy mountain road to a teeny weeny "village" at the top. When I say mountain, I mean carved out of the rocks. Here is an example: both days at lunch the guide quickly went inside to talk to the restaurant to tell them to treat us well and what kind of food we were looking for. I would say tell them NotEntirelyNormal sent you but they don’t know who that is LOL. Tell them Mary-Lynn sent you. That name they will know.
