The Tour Guy staff from start to finish were excellent, accommodating and informative. I started this search months prior to the date of the cruise, the people who I was in touch were kind, understanding, and patient with me. I booked the cruise without a hitch, we arrived at the Marina, the captain and first mate were so very nice, informative , answered all of our questions, allowed us time to swim on a glorious day in the Mediterranean sea, which was a Cobalt blue waters, beautiful and cooling (it was 94 degree's F), watch the America's Cup teams practice, never allowed our glasses or dishes to be empty. Hands down the Best choice to do this!!! We will absolutely return and do the cruise again! Thank you to everyone Corinne Blaydon
