Capt Tom:

In September, '02, we did a Rome post cruise. Radisson's city tour was a 5 hour bus ride for $90. Instead, four of us chartered Bob's Limo Service for a 9 hour tour for $120 pp including tip. We saw much more, as Rome has streets a bus can't get down, but a small limo can. Also, the limo driver knew how and when to keep us out of traffic jams, and long lines at the attractions. If we ever "did Rome" again, we would do the same thing. But, we were able to see so much in must 9 hours that we feel like we've "seen Rome" and want now to go on to other places.

Remember that these are 9/02 prices, and the $US dollar has not done well against the Euro since then, making prices there expectedly higher.

Hope this helps,
Richard :) :) :)
