DIY excursions

[peterpan69]

Hi,

 

This is my first time cruising. I know there is a risk with doing excursions yourself, but I like the flexibility of touring myself at my own pace without being stuck on a coach.

 

Is there any advice anyone can offer please regarding getting hold of bus/train times?

 

My itinery is:

 

Palma

Villefranche - Probably Monaco or Monte Carlo

Marina Di Carrara - The Leaning Tower of Pisa

Civitavecchia - Rome for The Colosseum, Vatican and Trevi Fountain

Propriano - Open to suggestions

Mahon - Menorca on horseback

Palma

 

Any help, web site addresses, etc would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a site to get Colosseum tickets online - they are 'open' so not restricted to aparticular time of entry and you can by-pass the queues to get in.

Here is the link for the train timetables to Rome and Livorno

And for the buses in Majorca

It's very easy to get the train from Villefranche - try Googling for information/times

 

Can't help with the others but again, a Google search for local transport links should yield some info.
