4 Nights Pre Cruise schedule

[homeschoolmom3]

Planning our first Mediterranean cruise and wondering if our current plans are doable. We are flying in from 5 nights in Paris to Rome.

Sunday arrive, drop off bags at Airbnb, follow Rick Steve's Heart of Rome tour going inside the Pantheon and side tracking to the cat sanctuary.

Monday Eating Europe tour followed an hour later by a Colosseum and area tour. (7 minute travel time between the end of one and start of the second tour)

Tuesday Angel and Demons Tour 9:30 until 1:30 lunch then Borghese 4-6

Wednesday Scavi tour, Vatican Museum and St. Peter's 

Thursday final Rome breakfast then off to the port for our 12 night cruise.

Are we missing anything that needs added to this itinerary? Thanks in advance.

Right now you need reservations to enter the Pantheon on the weekends.  I don't know if this is permanent or not but it is the current situation.

You've covered most of the headline attractions. It's a lot of touring for four days though -- are you going to feel too regimented or have you built in a little time (e.g. a free afternoon) to just take it easy, sit on a piazza, do a little wandering/window shopping on your own?

 

If you've got the energy then go for it. I just find that for myself, I can go flat out for about three days and then I need a half day or so to take a breather. (My rule of thumb is to relax at least one full day or two half days in a week of sightseeing/touring....)

We have been to Paris before and are having more relaxed time visiting friends before we hit Rome. Hopefully that will recharge us before we try and see this current schedule in Rome. We can definitely adjust if we need to!
