I can tell you about our experience with Romeinlimo on our cruise. Here is a little background about us. We (husband, wife 50,s and son 19) returned on 5/25/09 from the NCL Gem - round trip from Barcelona. Our ports of call were Malta, Naples, Rome, Florence/Pisa and Cannes. We have over 30+ cruises under our belt and have always taken cruise ship excursions. This was our first trip to the Med, via cruise, and we wanted to make sure we made the most out of our days in port and sightseeing - in one day.
We ended up paying 100Euro per person/per port. The advantages: MUCH CHEAPER than the cruise ship, you are with a small intimate group (not a large bus crammed with people), personalized and tailored (if you want - see their website) and saw more things. We saved $$$ using them versus NCL excursions. I brought home NCLs excursion pamphlet with sights/prices and there was NO comparison and a no brainer - Romeinlimo is the ONLY way to go. I just cannot say enough about them. Their responses to our emails were prompt. They are professional, smart, funny, a wealth of information (especially places to eat), great great people.
Also one concern people had when wondering to take private excursions vs cruise ones that I read, and had to admit, I had the same concern. Will you miss your ship? NO.. these drivers know their business. We never got back to the ship later than 5:30 pm (cruise ship left at 7pm - all on board at 6:30pm). They also knew the roads', traffic ins and outs and the shortcuts when needed. This should be no concern for anyone
If you have any questions about them, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Wow, you got a great price at 300 Euro per port (100euro x 3). That is quite a bit less than usual.

I do not understand Celebrity's request, since the information was on the first day's daily, with a picture and short biography.

More praise for RIL. Just got back yesterday and used them in Rome(Francesco), Naples(Carmine) and Florence(Fabrizio). The drivers were a wealth of information, and were all terrific. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Just did three tours with RIL and loved every one. The personal service and attention made every day outstanding.
We did do Pompeii, but if I was to skip it, I would have definitely continued along the Amalfi Coast to Ravello, which is supposed to be absolutely gorgeous.
