Maybe also an idea: last times we were in La Spezia we went to the terminal building - you pass it on your way out - and there are all kind of boots. We bought there a day pass - not very expensive - to visit all the islands of Cinque Terre. You can go as many times as you want, unlimited. You get a sailing scedule when you buy the tickets. The view from the sea is wonderful. The ferry leaves at the end of the quay.

One thing, they sell a certain amount of tickets and if they're sold out, too bad, you can't go, so you have to be early.;p

Great Review. Question on La Spezia - did you have to exchange your online train ticket or have it validated before boarding the train?

Can’t believe we miss each other again!!!

I’ll find out the numbers for you tonight.

There was a general C&A on Monday at 4:30 but we didn’t go. Nothing special for Top tiers yet... they did offer the 3 usual tours - our Bridge tour was scheduled at 9:30a on Wednesday but as we wanted to be off quickly to get to the station we had to decline our invite.

 

Solarium Bistro is free for dinner but they ask you to reserve.

 

Perhaps see you on one of the Dubai cruises ?!?

Love to you both

Thanks a lot for the info.

How is it possible, every time we miss each other??!! But one day……….:D

Anyway, so far we've booked Spectrum April 18th, 2019 Barcelona to Dubai and Jewel March 2nd, 2020 Dubai.

Not a well planned time for the Bridge Tour by the way, too bad you missed it!

Enjoy to the max dear.

Love,

Ger and Jeannette. X :hearteyes:

Dear L..... ehhh Little Britain,

thanks again for a great review and wonderful pictures! We miss you again grrrr, we board Sunday 9/9.

Do you have any idea how many D,D+ and P will be on 9/9 ?? When is Top Tier? What is the fee for dinner in the Bistro Cafë??

Enjoy the rest of your cruise to the max!!

Thanks a lot and hope to sea you soon again,

Ger and Jeannette.

We are sailing on the Brilliance out of Barcelona on June 18th and plan to use italytours for excursions in Rome and Florence/Pisa (Livorno). Can anyone tell me whether there was any problem meeting italytours at the meeting point by 7:40am-7:45am in these two ports considering that the ship arrives at 7am and that guests on ship excursions get to leave the ship first? How can we position ourselves to get off the ship quickly when they announce that we are permitted to leave the ship?

Mark, no worries, they will wait for you directly outside the gate. Just look for your name. You'll be fine.

Italytours is great!! Enjoy!

Thanks all for this info - I've been checking out lots of tour companies and very few seem to price by the person for a shared small group tour. This one seems perfect for our needs, and by reading your reviews, this company was pointed out to me. I've just booked them for Marseille - very good contact so far :)

We had an excellent experience and next time we'll go with them again.

We hope you will have the same experience, we're certain you will.

Enjoy your tour,

Jeannette.

Thank you. We are checking it out. Thanks so much for trying to hel me

Of course, you're very welcome!!

Italytours is excellent!

We had a tour from La Spezia to Pompeï where we had a licensed guide for 2 hours. Gino did a great job, explained and showed us everything and we also skipped the long waiting lines.

On our way to Sorrento we visited the Limoncello factory which was great and we were very pleased with that extra stop.

Sorrento was great, Amalficoast was beautiful and Positano was for tourists, but nice also.

We were a small group of 7, combined trough Italytours and it worked fine.

The guide/driver was very good and a safe driver and the car was almost new.

The tour was almost two hours longer than planned but the driver took all the time to show and explain everything.

We absolutely can recommend Italytours.eu and next time when we're in Italy we'll book them immediately.

Thank you Italytours for the wonderful tour!
