Looks like the 12:45 Pompeii Tour is sold out so I guess it was a good thing we woke up early to book. The 1:15 is still available but happy to get our first time choice.
Messina: private tour organized here going to the Bambino Winery and Taormina (*still room for one more if anyone interested!*)
Im intrigued. Only room for one more though?
I am also intrigued by the masks in Venice but I am not sure $80 a person is worth it to me to visit a workshop. I feel like I can wander on my own.
Seems several things are limited or sold out now. Hope everyone was able to get what they wanted for excursions.
Naples: Naples, Above & Below: A Walking Tour - 1 Spot Left
Naples: Pompeii: City of Beauty & Ruin - 12:45 Sold Out, 1:15 still available
Crotone: Ceraudo Winery & Calabrian Family Tradition - Sold Out
Bari: Conversano Cooking Class - Sold Out
Bari: Puglia’s White Cities - Sold Out
Šibenik:The Krka Waterfalls & Town of Skradin- Sold Out
Venice:Secrets of Doge’s Palace - Long Sold Out
Venice: An Evening Gondola Ride in Venice - 1 Spot Left
Venice: Creative Master Class in Murano Glassblowing - 1 Spot Left
Unfortunately I can't see the status of excursions we booked since they just show up as booked so there may be others that are running low or sold out.
If anyone is looking for handmade Venetian masks, I'd recommend Ca' Macana. We bought a couple of masks on our last trip
Thanks! I would like to buy one to hang as art at home. Theyre just beatufiul!We got a handmade mask at La Bottega dei Mascareri on the Rialto bridge and it is beautiful! I recommend that one also for anyone looking for a souvenir to bring home.

And anyone else,
Susy from Ceraudo Winery emailed back and can arrange a van for us. She offered to set up a private tour in the morning of the vineyard, cellars, wine tasting and she offered to open her Michelin starred restaurant for us and have a private lunch (I think with the chef but I can confirm). The restaurant is normally closed that day.
I researched the restaurant and the chef, Caterina Ceraudo, won the Michelin Chef Woman Price last year at 29yo and The NY Times named it one of the world’s most unmissable restaurants.
After that we could go wherever we want. She can recommend another winery or we can visit a town.
I don’t have final prices yet and I’m sure it will depend on how many people are interested and sharing a van. The Private tour, wine tasting, and lunch looks like it ranges from 90-130 Euros pp.
Please let me know who would be interested.
My husband, Kevin, and I are also interested. Is there room for two more?
I planned a bunch of stuff for rome that I posted above. let me know if interested.We booked our excursions this morning before work:
Naples: Naples Above and Below (12:45)
Messina: Messina & its Treasures (9:30)
Crotone: Le Castella & Its Fortification (9:30)
Bari: Bari Walking Tour (9:30)
Šibenik: Šibenik Promenade (9:00)
Venice: St. Mark’s Square At A Glance (9:30) and An Evening At the Opera (7:15)
We get in to Rome early evening on the 21st, so we’re still finalizing what we want to do there.
