Considering Excursion with Cruise Ship from Savona to Monte Carlo. Thoughts?

I always wanted to go to Monte Carlo and they have a tour that goes there and you spend a few hours there. Here is a description of the $99 tour. The rest of our group is going to Portofino.

I don't know where you will be docking, but if it is Monte Carlo, you can do it yourself easily. We did Monaco/MC by land when we lived in Germany. It takes about half a day to see all. You don't need a guide. Buy a guidebook.

If you have always wanted to go to Monte Carlo I would say go for it. It sounds like good timing to me. The price is good too. The drive should be very nice. The tour hits the two main areas and gives you plenty of time in each. I think you will really enjoy it. Try to sit on the right side of the bus as you walk to the back of the bus, the drivers side.
