You will be fine with leg room. I am 6'1" and the other guy we traveled with on the cruise is 6'6". He played semi-pro basketball back in the day. He sat in the 2nd row and had plenty of room. They are not like our US minivans(Odyssey, Sienna, etc...). They are larger Mercedes style vans. He was comfortable enough and we had no issues. We did private tours. We did not utilize the 3rd row. The 2nd row is 3 seats but there is a space by the sliding door to extend your legs if you want.

We are currently on a sea day back to Barcelona. We are a party of 2 couples and booked private tours for all days on the cruise plus Barcelona with both Italy tours and Spain day tours. I highly recommend them. They were waiting for us at each port. In Barcelona, Marta was our guide. We did Barcelona to include Sagrada and park Guell and Montserrat. She also took us to a wonderful sandwich shop. Gabriel was our guide at Palma. He also took us to Valldemossa. We loved that little town. He knew everyone since he lived there for many years. In Marseille, Paul recommended we change our tour due to traffic and we had a wonderful day visiting Cassis and Aix en Provence. Wonderful markets and the wife picked up some things.we had a wonderful day touring Florence and Pisa with Francesca. We had a guided walking tour in Florence. In Rome, we met our guide Giovanni and we enjoyed the main highlights Rome, the Colosseum, Trevi fountain and the Vatican. We also saw where Julius Caesar was killed and some other things during the day. He also took us to a great pizza and gelato shop. Paulo gave us a private tour of the Vatican and we bypassed all lines. He takes you through doors and passages to bypass the throngs of people. Yesterday, Caesar picked us up in Naples and drove us to a limoncello factory and Sorrento. He helped book a wonderful lunch in Sorrento. We had 2 hours to wonder the shops and streets. We missed Positano due to a local festival and traffic. Highlight yesterday was our Pompeii guide, Ciro who grew up in the area and played in the ruins as a child. It was a very personal tour for him. He takes you to the most important places so you don’t waste time wondering what to see. Italy tours communicated with us each night to check in with us prior to a tour. We would not hesitate to use them again. Private tours are the way to go if you can afford it. You bypass all lines and the guides know how to navigate traffic and drop you off right where you need to be with limited walking. They had all tickets ready for us with clear instructions. They also will cater the tour to your wants and needs. We wanted more time for lunch and shopping and they made it happen. We got back to the ship without any worries. Hope this helps.

We have had a change by them for one port. They are getting back to me within 24 hours. We leave in September. They also have a toll free number on their website. Maybe try to cam them.

Why not go private? The cost is not much more for our party of four(2 couples) so we elected private excursions to beat the crowds and go at our own pace. This is the cruise we were supposed to be on in 2020. The issue of not being confirmed would not sit well with me. I am a planner and want everything ready to go before I get on the ship.

Perhaps a few hiccups but I am on vacation and will enjoy the day.

In Europe, I always carry my passport in a front pocket that is hidden. I keep a copy in my pack and on my phone. I would not leave it in a safe. You never know when you will need your passport.

We would love the info as well. We have 5 private tours booked between them and their sister company, Spain Day Tours.

Hello. We have 5 tours booked between them and their sister company, Spain day tours. Can anyone please give us guidance on appropriate tipping etiquette? We will be a party of 2 couples and have never had both a guide and drive. We want to make sure we tip appropriately. Thank you.
