Ports of call

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
On and off bus tour was excellent. We loved exploring the side streets of Los rambles.

Marseille (Provence), France

5 out of 5
We explored the town, the hop on and off tour was ok but not very interesting. We took a boat tour to this prison island and Loved it.

Villefranche-Sur-Mer, France

5 out of 5
Our most expensive excursion took us in a private car all over. We bought perfume from one of the oldest perfume makers, visited a super artsy old town and even stopped in Monti Carlo!

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

5 out of 5
Took the train into Florence and explored the town with a tour guide and on our own. The next day we went to Pisa and a beach

Genoa, Italy

5 out of 5
They had a train strike on this day so it was not as exciting as we originally thought. We did find an amazing local restaurant and ate the best walnut pesto meal

Messina, Sicily

3 out of 5
The hop on and off bus was not very good at this port. There was not as much to see here as the other ports. Wish we should have gone to Sicily and signed up for a tour.

Naples, Italy

3 out of 5
Pompeii is amazing but a ridiculous mess trying to get into the ruins.

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
We stayed two extra days in Rome and other than the heat loved it. We will never travel to Europe in July again

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Getting off the boat was fine. Outside the boat was pure insanity. We ended up paying $100 a person for a ride into Rome by private driver instead of waiting in hot sun And super long line for transfer to train station
