Dolly Day Dream5

We are also going to Warnemunde in July.

I've done a bit of research into the area as we don't fancy the long day in Berlin. We'll do this another time. Have a look on TripAdvisor & read the fabulous reviews for the Molli Steam Train. Apparently you can get the main train from Warnemunde to Bad Doberan via Rostock, which is another quite pretty place according to the reviews.

Also Google http://www.whatsinport.com for other cruise ship port info.

PS when we did our trip to Rome last year, there was a Bruce Springsteen concert on & nearly all of the roads were closed off but no, not for Michael. He just drove straight up to the barrier, spoke to the police who lifted the barrier & we drove off again to wherever we were going. You can choose your itinerary & discuss it with Michael & Dario but obviously you won't be able to do ALL of Rome as there's not enough hours in the one day you're docked there. We've been twice now but still feel the need to return for MORE but for a longer visit. We LOVE Rome!! ❤️

Hi Wayne, take a look at http://www.gruppobisozzi.com

Address it to Dario the CEO in English but ask for MICHAEL to be your driver.

Michael speaks perfect English & we've used him for the past 2 years for our pick- ups from our cruise ship. Last year, he arrived early & had already filled the minibus by the time we'd got off the ship with other fellow passengers- mainly ladies but wouldn't have expected anything else from him being the Italian Stallion, albeit an older version. Michael is HIGHLY amusing & will keep you entertained all day. It also worked out to be a lot cheaper as we all paid €60 per person for a minibus load of us. You could set up an event for fellow cruisers to join you - max 12 people for a minibus load.

He whizzes up & down the small narrow Rome side streets so there's not much walking to do & will spend as much time as YOU request at the Rome landmarks.

He'll then ask if you'd like to stop off at the VERY traditional Italian trattoria where his eldest son works or you can do your own thing re lunch. This trattoria serves up FANTASTIC food btw & is VERY reasonable.

He's obviously become a GREAT friend now & I would NOT hesitate to use his company again.

Prompt pick- up & prompt return to the ship on BOTH occasions to the quayside. I looked down from our balcony last year to see him arrive at 8am. Our arranged pick-up was 9am. Believe me Michael knows EVERYONE even the Rome police!!

You pay him on your return to the ship. Speaks volumes that we've used him TWICE. Enough said.
