Italy and Mediterranean ports semi private shore excusrions suggestions

[biggytaz]

Pre and post cruise  hotels all booked, now off to research ports of calls. My wife and I have not been at all so we are looking for the historical highlights, interesting foods and wines and in general the must sees in this area. Thoughts on these ports and any recommended tour vendors in these ports. in rome we will be there the day before (arriving at 8am) and the day after in barcelona.

I think we are just going to do our own walking tour in rome that way we can go at our own pace since we will be getting in in the morning and may crash early from jet lag.

 

I appreciate all your help.

Take a look at ItalyTours.Eu - Private Tours & Small-Group Excursions in Italy 

There are many other options, but this may get you started for some of the ports.

For Italy try italytoursharing.com to find small group excursions to join.  Also Viator

 

For Barcelona, try Barcelona Day Tours.  You can get a tour/transfer on the day you disembark

Viator is a consolidator

They don't runany tours themselves

I would never book with them

Go onto the roll call for your specific cruise to find other people with whom to share tours
