Italy and Greece16 day tour/cruise - September 22, 2013The Best of Italy & a Greek Isles cruise - SOLD OUT!
This fantastic cruise tour has it all. If you have ever dreamed of doing a Greek cruise and a tour of Italy, this is the right tour/cruise at the right price.
You would make the mistake of a lifetime if you do Italy any other way than the way we present this cruise/tour. Too many make the mistake of doing Rome and Florence from a cruise ship! It is impossible to really experience these fantastic cities in the short time the ship is in port. Having taken many groups to Italy, we know how to do it right! Look at the itinerary:
This is the right time of year to visit this part of the world. It can easily reach over 100 degrees in the middle of summer.
Fall is perfect in Italy and the Mediterranean. You also avoid the gigantic crowds of summer.

When you travel with us you do not have to struggle to be up close to the guide and strain to hear them.You will hear every word spoken by your guide or FFL escort with perfect clarity even when you step away from the group to take that very important picture.

Another real advantage to traveling with us when a cruise is involved:
We give you the opportunity to purchase our own deeply discounted shore excursions at a fraction of what the cruiseline charges.
