Welcome June and Hahns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great friends of ours, Invited them last week end. This is how they roll.Please help me welcome June and Hahns to our cruise!
We aren't doing that excursion.I have probably asked before, but anyone else doing the ultimate Italy 3-night Viking pre-excursion to Tuscany including Florence and Sienna? Wife and I are about to book this one, but it likely means we will miss seeing Rome.
We are on the same flight home!OK I booked our flights today Delta 444 out of JFK on 3/22 and 475 out of Venice back through JFK on 4/2. Now I just need to pay for the cruise

Tour Description
Trastevere is a neighborhood like no other. Its ivy-coated, cobblestone streets come alive at night earning it comparisons to Greenwich Village and Paris’s Left Bank. It’s where Romans choose to eat with their families on a Sunday and where young Romans go for buzzing nightlife at evenings and weekends. You can’t leave Rome without walking through these streets, tasting the best food on offer, and taking a million pictures of this amazing hotspot.
On this guided 4-hour walking food tour we explore this photogenic neighborhood by night. You’ll sample a sumptuous blend of Italian classics like pizza and pasta, real Roman street food, less-known meats and cheeses, and amazing wine in a secret cellar – its history will blow you away. Few activities in Rome deliver as many hidden surprises and enchanting moments as this, so be sure to join us for an unforgettable night in one of our favorite neighborhoods in Rome. Take advantage of Rome’s vibrant nightlife by walking through the streets of Trastevere with a local.
A few of us did this tour during our September 2014 ABD Viva Italia. It was AWESOME!

Hi everyone! Trip is fast approaching! I am so excited.
Do you know when we can see excursions on My Viking Experience? I would like to see what's on offer but so far nothing pops up.
What time does everyone plan to get to the ship on day one? I am trying to decide my travel to the port.
NEWS FLASH!!!
Viking tells me that shore excursions for our cruise will be made public on 1/15/2018.
They do this just to keep the uber planners on edge.

Hello fellow Karen! I just caught wind of the deadline" I will get us paid tomorrow.
I know Kevin is a bit busy so I did a search and found this several pages back.
I looked at the Florence excursion and the price is per person and I thought that was a bit pricey. If you want to see Florence and Tuscany, the private tour company I'm working with, suggested a train from Rome into Florence and doing a walking tour and a Tuscany day trip out of Florence and then taking the train back to Rome in the evening. My original plan was a day trip out of Rome to Florence but the driving time is 4 hours and the train is 2. That gives me an extra 4 hours that day to tour.
We're also doing the morning Vatican tour Saturday, but I don't think we will plan on hanging around Rome too late. I was thinking we may do the tour, go back to the hotel to maybe have lunch nearby and collect our stuff, then head to the port.
Thanks!!
This will most likely be our plan as well. We will probably book a private car. If anyone wants to share a ride after lunch, we could look into that option.
