We used limo in Rome - Danny was our driver/guide and we had a spectacular day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted February 5, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 5, 2014 There is actually quite a lot to see in Pisa, including climbing the tower. The duomo and baptistry are each beautiful and quite historic, and the duomo museum is top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleobella Posted February 6, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 6, 2014 We did a Western Med Cruise 2 years ago and visited some of the same ports. In Marseille we did a ship tour of Marseille in the AM and then visited Aix in the afternoon. I would skip Marseille next time and just spend the day in Aix or one of the other provincial towns-very quaint and relaxed and friendlier then the Marseille IMO. In Barcelona I would recommend a day tour if you are there only 1 day. The HOHO can be busy and there is much to see. Rome in Limo is a good idea for Rome. We did Share a Shore Excursion. On the web site we joined a group with 2 other couples and for a reasonable fee we got a great day tour with a native Roman guy, tailored to what we all agreed upon seeing. We would not have been able to cover so much by ourselves. I would make Palma de Mallorca your DIY day. There is a cheap shuttle into town, or you can walk if you like a little hike. There is a lovely church there, you can get a bite to eat and just stroll the streets, soaking up the culture. For the Pisa/Florence stop we chose a tour that involved seeing the tower and grounds and also a winery stop, with a lovely snack and wine tasting. We did not want to run around another big city so avoided Florence. Pisa was perfect for us-it is really a small attraction to see, but we got some great pictures of this iconic landmark that really summed up the flavor of our trip! The winery was a nice break, no much to it, but very enjoyable. Don't forget to try your Roll call to see if anyone wants to make a group for tours! Bon Voyage!
