Crazy Kris Posted November 30, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 30, 2016 We are two women traveling on Princess Crown Dec. 21st Valparaiso to Rio. Does anyone have a non-ship excursion that we can join in any of the ports?:) Kris and Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZiffle Posted November 30, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Check out your roll call, and I suspect you'll find plenty of options. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2216875 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VidaNaPraia Posted December 19, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 19, 2016 In Rio, you can get around to the sights safely and easily by regular yellow metered taxi. Taxis are not expensive. There will be plenty at the cruise pier. If you need to store luggage before heading to the international airport (if not planning to stay overnight), the in-town Santos Dumont airport, close to the cruise pier, has luggage storage (Guarda Volumes). In planning for the two heights (the Cristo statue and Sugarloaf), realize that you will need a clear day, not always guaranteed, for good views. I suggest not buying tickets in advance because of that, and if possible, leaving yourself more than one day in Rio so that any bad weather can change for the better. If you prefer to hire a good private tour guide (and maybe join with another couple on the cruise to do so), I can recommend someone with a vehicle, in order to perhaps cover more places in a brief time and also some gems that are a bit off-the-beaten-path. If you have any Rio questions, please post to ask. I'd be happy to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccio Posted February 9, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 9, 2017 If your roll call isn't very busy yet, check out the roll call for that itinerary on the Crown Princess this past December which we were on. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2216875 We did all private excursions and were happy with them all. Since I did most of the organization, search on my userid within the thread to see who we used. It is a wonderful cruise - I'm sure you'll have a great time!

bradshore13 Posted February 9, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 9, 2017 If you are stopping in Valparaiso Chile i would highly recommend using http://www.winetoursvalparaiso.cl. They did a trip for us some years ago. Great for Casablanca Valley tours if you love wine and they also do city tours plus transfers from the port to Santiago. contact michael@winetoursvalparaiso.cl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountaindog Posted February 11, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Not at all. I can give a blog from passengers at my ship that also wrote about her and her trip advisor review. We just want to help her as she is an independent high qualify guide and her service is excellent. She needs to work. Sorry to bother you. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g312741-d2694119-Reviews-Liz_Private_Tours_Local_Tour_Guide_Buenos_Aires-Buenos_Aires_Capital_Federal_Dist.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
