We are non-German speakers and enjoyed very much AIDA and MS.  Most of the time with AIDA and MS, we do our own tours either with a local English-speaking guide, or go around on our own in a rental car or public transit.  We usually study the area beforehand and already know the background and history, and simply need a way to go around.

The only time we joined an AIDA tour was in Israel (Haifa) because of the concerns with local traffic jam. We simply go around ourselves while everyone else stayed in the German tour.  Also the AIDA tours includes lunch and is cheaper.

Hello and thank you for your reply. I will try the website you suggested.

Hello,

We will be traveling on AIDAstella and we are planning to do an excursion to Jerusalem and Bethlehem during the stop at Haifa, Israel on 7 Sep 2015. I am wondering if there is any interest from other members here to share a small-group tour.

Below is the link for the tour operator that we are considering:

Thanks!

PS: I put this under "All Other Cruise Lines Roll Calls" as a subforum for AIDAstella does not yet exist.

Hi and thanks for your reply. I did go through the Med section but am not able to find any specifics on the type of excursions like those offered by Ancora. Ancora do appear to be a broker type, however we can pay directly with the operator/guide. We are looking into excursions from Bari to Alberobello and Polignano A Mare.

Hello,

I am curious whether anyone here have used Ancora Tour (http://www.europeshorexcursions.com/) for any of the Mediterranean short excursions, and if so, what are your experiences?

Thanks.
