Yesterday I discovered that Viking Cruises has an app called Viking Voyager. I found it and downloaded it from my App Store. It shows up on a simple search in App Store. Evidently it shows port info, calendars and you can make reservations on it. It doesn’t activate until you access the WiFi onboard but you need to download it before you get there because of WiFi band width. I am surprised Viking does not promote or advertise this tool!

I agree ronbe65! We spent 3 days in Florence a few years ago and have been struggling with what to see. I just checked something else with Viking and found out they have shortened the already short Florence on your Own excursion! It was 8:45-6:30 with 1.5 hours travel each way from/to the port. NOW its 9:30-6:30. I'm bummed. We have also booked transfers with RomeinLimo going to Florence only. I had thought of cancelling that and doing the ships OYO but now, ugh!

Please see my post on Viking Star Roll Call May 21, if we had 4 others to join us it would not be much over the Viking excursion and we could get there quicker (9:00)and we hope to stay til 5:30 returning to the ship at 7 for 8:00 sail.

I agree with others about Pisa - we were very disappointed

We have been to Florence and Pisa and San Gimignano as well as other fabulous places in Tuscany when we spent 3 day in Florence and 3 days in Tuscany. We are sailing May 21, 2018 and I have booked Rome inLimo for 3 ports. Naples, Rome and Livorno. If you can get a group together it's less expensive but you will see MUCH more not on a ship tour. In Livorno we are going to Florence then San Gimignano. Take a look at thei website they are 5 stars on tripadvisor. I am afraid we won't get the tours we want from the ship anyway since they offer to most expensive cabins first and we are in the middle.
