sr5242 Posted July 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I really want to go to volterra while I'm on the rccl serenade in October. I have booked the rccl tour of volterra and San gamignano, but wonder if it would be better to book a private tour. The price is good through rccl compared to the private quotes I've gotten, includes lunch, and with the long drive involved I would feel better knowing if we're late it's the ships problem. Has anyone either taken the rccl tour or a private one you would recommend? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzaw Posted July 13, 2012 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2012 We have just done the Volterra and San Gimgnano tour in late May-- but with Cunard. I would be willing to bet that the Cunard and RCCL tours are identical. We had spent some time in Tuscany many years ago - and have wanted to return since then. Our day tour to Volterra and San Gimignano (including a lunch in a delightful farmhouse) was a day to remember for us - it was wonderful. The Tuscan countryside is beautiful - and these two medieval towns are "must sees". Unfortunately - they are well known around the world and are very popular with tourists -- but that is the price we have to pay for mass tourism these days. You should not be disappointed with this tour. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Lew- Posted July 13, 2012 #3 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I agree with Barry... We did the Volterra, San Gimgnano with lunch at a farmhouse excursion with Princess a couple of years ago and had a wonderful time. If you're happy with the price, go for it! Enjoy your cruise...

Lew I did the same tour with Princess in 2009 and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had a good guide who told us about each town and also gave us free time each place. The RCCL tour is probably the same one. It is an excursion I would do again if I had plenty of time in Italy. Have a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
