Sue -
we only took two excursions since I was not well throughout the cruise (I had a sinus infection that is taking time to shoo away!) But both met our expectations.
One was a visit to Capri, where lots of free time was planned into the tour for shopping, coffeees and lunch. This is why we took this tour and we were very happy with it. And we had a lovely lunch right in the middle of Capri town.
The second was a tour in Kotor. We erally loved the guide, and learned a huge amount about this little town, its bay, and Montenegro. Since we knew next to nothing about the place before the tour we were really pleased!
In Venice we did our own thing, since we know Venice well...went out to Torcello and had lunch at the Locanda Cipriani. if you are ever in Venice this is a wonderful thing to do!!
