Hello,
This is actually my first post on this forum
My wife and I just got married on July 3rd and this trip will be our honeymoon. We plan on doing some touring once we get off the ship. We are in our mid twenties.
The tours are very expensive, but if I can get some people together, it makes the cost of touring much cheaper.
6 more people, now this can be couples, family...etc. With 8 of use this will bring the price of the tour down substantially (pricing at the end).
Let me know if your interested.
These will be private tours by Alex. He speaks primarily English but can also translate into Italian and Russian.
August 9th Florence (following is off their site)
A shore excursion in the famous cities of Tuscany, Pisa and Florence. Departure from the port of Livorno.
The driver will pick us up in the the morning and will take us back to the dock in the afternoon. The tour will start with a stop in Pisa to visit the famous “Leaning Tower”, the Duomo, and the Baptistery.
The tour continues with a drive through Tuscany to the city of Florence.
There we can visit one of the most important collection of Italian art at the Uffizi with the original statue of David by Michelangelo, and the "Uffizi Gallery" with the world masterpieces by Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, and all other best artists of the Renaissance. After that we can visit the church and the monuments around the city. You’ll see: the Duomo, the Giotto’s Bell Tower, Pitti Palace the Santa Croce Church where the most important Italian artist as Michelangelo, Galileo are buried.
The company can also make advanced reservations for the Accademia Museum and the Uffizi Gallery for us. We'll need to ask them when booking the tour, and they will be happy to provide us this service at no extra cost.
Rates per vehicle for a full day Tour of Pisa and Florence (9 hrs) are as follows:
- Mercedes A/C Sedan up to 3 people:
Euro: 450 "All inclusive"
- Mercedes A/C Minivan up to 7 people:
Euro: 500 "All inclusive"
- Mercedes A/C Minibus 8 people:
Euro: 550 "All inclusive”
as you can see, the minibus or minivan with 7-8 people will make it a bit cheaper on the pocket book.
i will look into more dates on this cruise and see what else he has available...please get in touch sooner than later as I'm sure your well aware that the trip is about 3 weeks away.
