You should know about a new company called “A TASTE OF LIFE”. Just imagine – private shore excursions and pre and post cruise stays in leading cities in Europe that promise:
No museums, cathedrals, historic monuments or dry historical narration
If you have done the history tours and would like unique experiences focusing on the foods locals prepare in their homes, and an understanding of what it would mean to actually live in Europe, a new concept in cruise ship shoew excursions may be perfect for you. Ask your travel agent for a copy of “A Taste of Europe”.
Instead, you can now experience:
-
Visits to local food markets
- The opportunity to interact with local residents
- Visits to the most charming area villages
- Real Estate Overviews (what things cost)
- Contemporary Touring (what is ‘Real Life’ like in
Italy orSpain) - Dining in authentic, local restaurants well off
the tourist track - Cooking demonstrations and lessons
- Insider shopping experiences
- No bus touring
- Escorts trained to explain contemporary life in
their home city
INTRODUCING AN ALTERNATIVE TO CRUISE LINE
BUS TOURS
Welcome to A Taste of Life a revolutionary new way to experience contemporary life and food on an exclusive selection of private-driver shore excursions and unique pre and post cruise experiences.
Cruise lvines limit their offerings to ‘one size fits all’ pre-arranged, large-group bus tours led by local guides detailing aspects of European history. But A Taste of Life Ashore provides something very different. The company was launched to serve the needs of guests aboard the world’s top ten-rated cruise lines, guests who are seeking a hands-on approach to experimental touring and an understanding of one fundamental question:
“IF I MOVE TO THIS PLACE TOMORROW – WHAT MIGHT MY LIFE BE LIKE?”
Our exclusive pre and post hotel programs and in-port shore excursions are designed to help answer that very question. What do the locals eat in their homes? What are the current political, social, and economic issues facing local people, and how do they view the future of their country? What are the most popular television programs? How good is local education and health care? A Taste of Life Ashore allows you to delve deeper, gaining a greater understanding and sense of place. And as we all tend to gather in the kitchen, food is an important component of the experience. Go beyond the big cities and experience life
in the small villages.
Each of our shore excursions and pre/post cruise programs is based on 2-4 Guests.Yes, we could make a nice profit filling up 45 passenger motor coaches, but we would never be able to achieve the level of immersion and discussion with our specially-trained guides on a group tour. We would never be granted authorization to enter the kitchens and the homes of locals anxious to share with you their ‘real life.’ Our programs are exclusive and planned for a maximum of four guests sharing a guide, driver, and the best available vehicles. There is an expense to experience destinations in this manner, but the value added through personalized
service, unique experiences and insights of Europe’s most sought-after private guides is unparalleled.
A Taste of Life Ashore is a registered Florida Corporation headquartered inNaples,Florida.
HOW DO I BOOK THESE UNIQUE EXPERIENCES?
A Taste of Life Ashore is created for and sold exclusively by the nation’s most prestigious travel agencies and consultants. Direct bookings are not accepted. Your professional agent will waive any booking fees in conjunction with your pre/post or shore excursion programs.
