[Pittsburgh Pat]

This is our first Viking Ocean cruise. We are seasoned cruisers but our last two cruises were River cruises on Viking. Would love to find a Tour guide for a gondola ride in Venice as well as touring the Amalfi Coast.  Can anyone help with a tour company in Venice as well as Naples.? 

 

Thank you,

Pat

You should find your Roll Call here: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/search/?type=forums_topic&search_and_or=or&search_in=titles&nodes=787&q=May

 

CC asks us not to offer specific tour recommendations on the main board, but you will find many on the Roll Calls. If you post your question there, I have one for an Amalfi tour. Cheers. 🍺🥌

@CurlerRob if we have been asked for recommendations (and we have been in this thread), we may name names and it may be done in this forum.

 

Another place to find recommendation for tour companies is in the Ports of Call forum, where the conversation is not segregated by cruise line and you get many more people answering questions. 

 

What we are not allowed to is to post unsolicited recommendations, because that is considered  advertising. 

 

Also note that the only place to solicit tour shares is in the roll calls.

Thank you - late night and I mixed up tour shares with tour recommendations. 🤬  🍺🥌

Since @Peregrina651 rightly corrected me, here's a recommendation for an Amalfi tour. While based in Sorrento, they will pick up in Naples.

 

We have used this firm several times - if you contact them, you may wish to ask for Tony as your guide - he's outstanding! (Caveat - all usages pre-covid).

A guide is not necessary for a gondola ride.  Gondolas depart from various locations...just pay and board.

Oh I definitely know how that works! Only, I'm not limited to late night.
