Check out ItalyTours.EU We did a bunch of excursions with them and they are
way cheaper than the cruiseline.

Florence is in the middle of Italy. How is that a port for a cruise?

Oh, Pisa then the bus ride or train. The train to Florence from Pisa is easy.

Orlando is listed as a port for cruise even though they mean Port Canaveral.

Rome is not my favorite. There are divergent opinions about Rome. It's okay
Archaea

Yes, but it's a must visit at least once. Especially if you're already flying in

Nice is a beautiful town. Don’t go to the beach, don’t go to Monaco - both are

Don't go to the Promenade in Nice? Why not?
Archaea
10/4/24 12:21pm
Promenade is nice. I mean don’t plan a day at the beach. It’s a waste of time.
DiamondDog

Gotcha. No, I wouldn't plan a day there even if you were spending a week in Nice

is Uffizzi the huge museum? I skipped it for smaller museums.

Yes, the Uffizzi is the big one in Florence.

I ran into Elder Gong in the Uffizi a few years ago. We both enjoyed it -

Make sure to visit Ponte Vecchio in the evening if you can. One of my favorite places in the world.

We opted to go to Lucca, instead of Pisa or Florence.

Florence: definitely see the Statue of David. We did a guided tour--we really enjoyed the historical context.
