Olivia, We didn't have a Virtuoso excursion on our first cruise in 92 that I can remember. Not sure why because we had an escort. Maybe we were such novices at the time we weren't aware of it. The excursion you describe does sound like ours this cruise. We are looking forward to it. Most of the Virtuoso excursions we had have been first rate. We have only had one experience with an "extrememly mature" tour guide we weren't fond of. The rest have been top notch.
