Dis / Dreams Viking Sea Cruise around Italy 3/24 - 3/31/2018

[TheMaxRebo]

@met19 @TheMaxRebo @khertz We booked the 24th as well. Sounds like a perfect tour. Private would be cool, but this sounds like it will avoid all the big crowds and concentrate on what we really want to see - Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's ... along with freeing up an evening for a delicious food tour.

Yeah, our thinking is to do the food tour if one works out for the evening before

This seems great. I'd like to do the food tour in Trastevere if possible just hearing so many good reviews. Is this the one that you did, @OKW Lover ?

I think that is what @OKW Lover did. He recommended the twilight tour to me

I just checked their calendar and they have not opened 2018 yet. I can email them to say we have a group of x number that are interested in one of their tours. I was thinking Thursday night.

Thu or Fri is fine. We'll get in Thu at some point. As long as we can squeeze in a power nap, we're good. Might need a little espresso pick me up...

 

[TheMaxRebo]

We are definitely interested in a good tour, but only getting in on Friday so would have to be Friday for us (obviously can have two groups on different days)

Forgot to ask- do you have a preference for one of those tours?

 

[met19]

I am not sure if it would be easier to reserve multiple spots or just pick a tour and a time and then have people reserve (i prefer the later just so I don't need responsibility). I am open to either day. I am arriving Wed I think.

I have already emailed about the food tour. Both Thursday and Friday will be doable. They will have tours between 4:15 and 6:30. Last time we did the night food tour in 2014 there was a max of 10 per time slot/ they did allow us to go to 13 and we had 2 groups. I am checking to see what the max number would be for us in 2018.


In 2012 we did the daytime tour. It was fun too. It was wicked cool seeing the pyramid in the cemetary

yup i remember the email. which daytime tour did you do and which did you like better?

 

[Cousin Orville]

My vote would be for an evening tour, Trastevere, and Friday (although Thurs would still work)... and one followed by lots of Italian Vino.

The evening tour was pretty cool

This was the daytime one http://www.eatingitalyfoodtours.com/rome/tours/taste-of-testaccio/

I really enjoyed both food tours. The daytime one was unique with the cemetery that felt like a park. Also, the daytime one we were given some time to shop at a few of the places. The night time one was great too, more wine sampling. The food was fantastic. I will most likely be doing the night time one again on this trip.
