Select Italy Introduces Customizable Shore Excursions
Select Italy introduces a renewed set of one-day tours dedicated to cruise passengers that are looking for unique and highly customizable shore excursions. Available in the major Italian ports, and with even more coming soon, Select Italy's shore excursions fulfill tourist's timing needs and interests, assuring the usual outstanding quality.

Since 80% of the Italian peninsula borders the sea many of its destinations are reachable by water. Tourists who decide to discover Italy by cruise can now book Select Italy's shore excursions departing from the ports of call in Livorno, Civitavecchia, Naples, Genoa, Savona, Messina, Palermo, Catania, Olbia, Cagliari, Bari, Salerno, Ancona, Ravenna and Venice and experience the most popular tourist attractions. Cruise Lines organize shore excursions but they are not usually flexible enough to suit individual travelers interests and show the best and the most authentic of the famed cities. Select Italy offers - either private or small group - excursions that are more restful, independent, and of a higher quality. Travelers will benefit from professional local guides, well-organized private transfers from and to the port, as well as a dedicated support staff.

"Cruise travelers who would like to take a tour, but do not want to follow along with the crowded cruise ship's group excursions, should choose Select Italy's relaxed and private shore excursions", says Beth Rubin, Manager of Custom Travel Planning. "These excursions can be customized, to allow the traveler to see what he most wishes to see, allowing plenty of free time before heading back to the port."

Passengers stopping at the Civitavecchia port of call can hit Rome's highlights and experience the best of the Eternal City. The "Glimpse of Rome excursion" includes roundtrip transportation from and to Civitavecchia port with a personal driver, the Colosseum's Dungeons and Upper Tiers shared tour, and the must-see Rome small group walking tour. During the tour, a certified guide will lead the tourists from the Spanish Steps to the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Colonna, the Pantheon, finishing in the famous Piazza Navona. If the port of call is Livorno, travelers can choose between the Florence and Pisa excursion, for a guided walking tour of Renaissance's birthplace and a visit to the Leaning Tower; the all day Florence tour, for those who want to experience this open-air museum city at its best; or the Cinque Terre excursion, for those who are interested in picturesque views of sea cliffs and scenic terraced farms.
