We are cruising and stopping at Rome, we have seen the Vatican. We are looking for something different for the day such as a city wine tour, etc. Any suggestions? Will be coming off the Port, probably train into town. Anyone ever see vendor at the port that offers anything like this? Same in Sicily and Capri. Looked at the Blue Grotto reviews and will probably pass, but any other suggestions?
Look at Rick's guidebook for Mediterranean cruise ports--that should help you.
In addition to looking at Rick Steves Mediterranean Cruise Ports (second edition now out), look at Cruise Critic. Here's their Italian Ports Forum: http://tinyurl.com/bwqtmhk And here's their Rome port review http://tinyurl.com/7g3jrb7 and their Capri port review http://tinyurl.com/887d7la.
