There are very few reviews of cruise tours so I thought I would help remedy the situation after all they can be a significant part of your vacation.

When we made our online booking the #5EB cruise tour for cabin 6173 was $200 pp cheaper than for the cruise charge for cabin 6173. We booked the cruise tour. Well wouldn't you.?

After a 24 hour flight from Melbourne via Dubai we arrived tired and jet lagged at Malpensa, Milan to be greeted by our cruise tour driver who whisked us away to our excellent 4 star hotel The Grand Hotel di Como. In a parkland setting this hotel may not have the Baroque cherubs and the Renaissance frescoes, but it is clean and comfortable, serves a good breakfast and above all the staff are excellent . After a 6:00pm tour briefing we were still not too tired to dine at our pre booked ( not included in the tour) trattoria set high in the hills above Cernobbio. Frequented by the Villa d'Este crowd, George Clooney, Ralph Lauren, Matt Damon etc. the Il Gatto Nero provides the most wonderful view of the Lake, eclectic decor, candelight ambience, good food and if your lucky, the most amazing waiter Carlitta.

Deluxe Veranda 2C

Cabin 2C

Partially obstructed which was a bit annoying especially when lying in bed to view early port arrivals. But for the price, very good value.
