The itinerary covered many famous landmarks, but the pacing still felt comfortable. We especially liked the smaller group because it allowed more flexibility during the stops. Everything ran smoothly from beginning to end.

Lost time and money in Rome

1.00While waiting at location as specified on the reservation, got a text from tour guide to new meeting spot. Got the cruise shuttle and moved to Port. Found tour company, but, they did not have us on their list. Got another text. and was told to go back to pier where ship docked. By time we got back, tour gone.
