Welcome home Judy & John.

Yes, we agree that some of the Regent excursions were not worth the money. The one that sticks out in our mind is the one in Edinburgh for the Castle & City tour - basically it was $69.00 for a bus ride into the city (which we could have used the complimentary shuttle anyways) with a guide who explained the city a bit and escorted us into the Castle (including admission) followed by a bit more driving around the city. Exploring the ports on this cruise would have been easy to do on your own since there is no language barrier. We probably regretted taking about 1/3 of the excursions that we did but nothing was quite as "bad" as the Edinburgh one.
