This was such a refreshing change from the usual cruise excursions. Bolsena was relaxed and picturesque, and Civita di Bagnoregio was even more impressive in person than in photos. The logistics were smooth, the timing worked perfectly with our ship schedule, and the guide struck a nice balance between information and free time.
