i guide the sky Posted February 23, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Has anyone's seen these port guides on **************.com? Pretty cool write ups on several popular ports. I only ask because I have been on the boards a while and I have never seen them mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise kitty Posted February 24, 2012 #12 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Tom's & Ron's are the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drarill Posted February 24, 2012 #13 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Love his guides. I stumble upon them on the Europe boards. The Venice Guide is great, I'm taking his advice about the hotel we are staying one night before our cruise.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyz Posted February 24, 2012 #14 Share Posted February 24, 2012 This site is amazing! We'll be using this for our Adriatic/Med cruise later this year. We're going several days early to spend time in Rome and Venice and Tom has just made planning a lot easier. Many thanks to "i guide the sky" for posting this info.

I only ask because I have been on the boards a while and I have never seen them mentioned. These are really great pax oriented port guides. I keep asking Tom for the ports I'm planning on visiting.

Rare cruisestitch Posted August 8, 2017 #17 Share Posted August 8, 2017 This thread is five years old. Information you read here is probably out of date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted August 8, 2017 #18 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I just check out guidebooks from my library! They have them in the reference section...doesn't cost a penny, and you can make notes on what things interest you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger1964 Posted August 8, 2017 #19 Share Posted August 8, 2017 We still use them (they are old, so I use them as a starting point). The good thing about them is they are geared for cruise passengers...The regular tour books are ok, but they are not geared for a quick day in port. Toms are also geared (at least they lean that way) towards cheaper/do it yourself alternatives, especially regarding transportation in port. We just used the guides 2 weeks ago on our British Isles cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobCat1966 Posted August 8, 2017 #22 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Tom's port guides were a big help when we were in Venice & the Greek Isles last fall. The guides have very detailed street maps, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
