Preziosa port tours

Hi everyone,

We will be on board the preziosa on the 31st May from Venice, having read some of the negative reviews I am trying to take it all with a grain of salt but I think what most concerns me is a negative comment regarding ship tours, under normal circumstances I would do my own thing, however we are travelling with 2 kids (well behaved I promise for anyone who will be inboard with us) and the 2 tours I have booked are the one from Bari -ALberobello and the Ephesus , mainly becaus of the short port times I didn't want to muck around trying to get us out there. I have since read one poster saying didn't even make it out to ALberobello in time?? Not sure if I have done the right thing? Does anyone have any experience with these tours , many thanks

I wonder if you can getting better value for money AND not have to wait with a ship tour to disembark if you do private tours? I don't have any experience yet but from what I have read, those who joined a tour after they had left the ship were able to get off faster than those waiting as part of the official tour group.

I've also heard that sometimes the english speaking tours can get cancelled or consolidated into another language tour if there aren't many english speakers. You won't have that issue if you book your own non-ship tour.
