ROME Before Your Cruise From Port Civitavecchia

Viator is a 3rd party tour seller..I always research what’s available, then go directly to the company providing that tour. Hope this helps visitors.

My wife. And I have a cruise on Odyssey of the seas. And I have been watching your videos and writing everything down. Cause we plan to go to the same places that you guys visited, so thank you for the tips.

[@TipsForCruisers]

Odyssey is a great ship and the itinerary is great. You’ll love it.

You guys seriously have the best channel!! You deserve way more views and subs. My husband and I love your content and really connect with the way you budget and sightsee, keep it coming guys! 😄👏🏼👏🏼

[@TipsForCruisers]

Oh thank you so much 🩷 we really appreciate the support. In 25 days we have another cruise coming and more port content with budget included!

I did a guided tour and it was o.k. but I am advising my son and DIL to go early, hustle to Sistine Chapel, then make their way back to start, looking at a few things

[@TipsForCruisers]

Guided just seemed so rushed. I’d rather take in the whole experience. The museum takes up a large amount of the time for sure. Sistine first may be the way to go!

We have booked just regular tickets through the Vatican and plan on just doing the Rick Steves audio tour since it’s free

[@TipsForCruisers]

Audio tour is definitely a “wish I would have” experience. Will definitely do it again.

Hey guys! My wife and I are going on our honeymoon on the 9 night Mediterranean cruise next week, because of your video on Athens we already canceled our excursion to rather do it our selves to save money so thank you! However, I’m trying to decide wether or not y’all would recommend we cancel our guided tour for the Coliseum, and Roman forum and rather do a self led tour there as well?

[@TipsForCruisers]

If it’s in your budget, I would keep the guide for the coliseum as I wish we would have learned more about what we were seeing. Athens you can 100% do without a guide. Enjoy your honeymoon!

@@TipsForCruisersthank you! Now as far as Turkey goes, we have an excursion booked for the Ephesus ruins and Virgin Mary’s house however the family tour company you guys recommend in Turkey can take us to all of it as well as long as we would like yes?

[@TipsForCruisers]

Yes, that is correct. I would compare the pricing but I’m sure it is much cheaper. Make sure you know how much tickets to get in are too. For instance, Ephesus is 40 Euros per person.

What’s the tipping situation there

[@TipsForCruisers]

Tipping is not part of the culture. A few places have tip jars out, but I think that is more for the American Tourists. I never saw anyone put anything in them. They pay the servers differently than we do in the states though too.
