And welcome back to CC! many of us had been wondering about your cruise and safe return to Oz. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we do our Sojourn cruise next September we have a port day in Civitavecchia and this sounds like an ideal way to spend it. After our cruise this year we stayed in Tivoli for two nights and visited Villa D'Este so it would be nice to visit and compare. Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi marazul, was busy on my return to Australia with multiple annual health checks and also training to do a 35km charity walk a few weeks after my return. I must admit I wasn't sure I would make the 35kms but I did and it only took me 24 hours to recover. 😀 Cruise was good and we enjoyed the ports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie I remember we actually booked this tour from a company Aim Limo Rome. There was a very helpful guy there with perfect English called Andrea Schiarini. We did everything by email. Babici was our allotted driver who gave us his card. We'd use him again next time we stay in Rome. We fancy a trip down to the gardens at Ninfa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
