Creator's Key Takeaways

Don't pay for the premium to drink wine in a manufactured village. Walk out of the port, hire a local driver, go to the real vineyards, support the local economy, not the port developers.

It is an older historic part that recently we know uh renovated, and we consider it it's beautiful and it's really the the vibe.

We really find that a really valuable experience when we travel, to experience the local life.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Plan your first hour at port carefully to start your day right.
Hire a local driver to visit real vineyards instead of paying for premium experiences in manufactured villages.
Consider taking an Uber instead of the shuttle to save money and time.
Always have the local cruise line representative's contact information in case you are late returning to the ship.
