I have to send you a BIG THANK YOU. My Cruise of a lifetime to The Holy Land on a 12 Night Cruise on Royal Caribbean's "Odyssey of the Seas" was the best and I have to say that because every port that we visited for 8 days straight were FANASTIC and all of the guides and bus drivers in each port were very good at what they do, very professional, very punctual and very informative. I will use your company always and I highly recommend you all to anyone looking for tours and excursions for any cruise. You all are THE BEST. Alessandra in Rome, Italy and Roni in Israel gave us the best tours. We are very grateful to them and all the others.

My clients had a wonderful time and were very pleased with all the shore excursion. I spoke to the Hampson’s yesterday and the said they were the envy of others they met on the ship because of the wonderful shore excursions they had.
Thanks again for your hard work on behalf of my clients.

Istanbul, Turkey
We were able to find the guides fairly easily. They were both great and made sure we got to see everything. Thank you for the arrangements.
Louis P., Great Neck , NY - July 2022
Corfu, Greece
The transfer from the Corfu port to the airport was great. Driver was able to pull right up to the disembarkation area (so we didn't have to transfer on the port buses to the end of the port and then meet him) - we loaded right into the van and zipped to the airport. We were there in plenty of time for our flight.
Jennifer R., Cherry Hill, NJ - May 2022
Cannes, France
Thank you for your help with our tour of the Riviera! We had a wonderful day! Gregory did an amazing job! He was so knowledgeable and took us to some beautiful stops! I will definitely recommend your company and definitely recommend Gregory! Thank you again!
Tade W., Niceville, FL - June 2022
Copenhagen, Denmark
I'm finally back home and wanted to thank you for your great support throughout our journey.
Everything was perfect nd the group was happy with all the tours booked in every city.
Victor E., Apodaca, Nu - June 2022
La Spezia, Italy
Cinque Terre was beautiful although there was not a possibility of any boat views as tickets for the train had already been purchased. No mention as to the boat which was a possibility as you mentioned. The trains were convenient and we did a short hike up the trail for beautiful views.
The tour was fantastic and our guide was lovely. The only problem though no one’s fault is that 11 of us were stuck in an elevator for 40 minutes in the extreme heat! The Italian police and emergency response team were absolutely no help.
Fortunately my husband and a few others went to the top and we were able to open the door one inch to allow for air. If that did not happen I’m not sure we would have made it. When the Italian police got there to open the door they only took pictures of us! Ridiculous! Our lovely guide (who was in the elevator with us) was able to have the vans come to us to transport us back to the ship. Our guide did what she could under the circumstances and we tipped her well for the day as I’m sure she did not expect the day to be so chaotic.
Sue Q., Allison Park, PA - June 2022
Monaco Monte Carlo, France
We had a great tour and just what I expected for my group.
You handle things very well.

Sumaya A., Boca Raton, FL - June 2022
Athens, Greece
Airport pickup was prompt, driver waiting for us when we arrived. We were staying in an apartment which the driver had some difficulty locating, but otherwise all good.
Jennifer R., Cherry Hill, NJ - May 2022
Akureyri, Iceland
The whale watching on the rib boat was fun, very cold though! The guide wasn’t holding a sign with my name so took a little to figure out it was her. We enjoyed it.
Sumaya A., Boca Raton, FL - June 2022
Santorini, Greece
Andreas (Andrew) was our guide and he was also very good, spoke English very well and gave us a lot of information/history. With the ceremony being first and the chosen location, it did interfere with the rest of our itinerary. We really only stepped on the black sand beach, did not go to the red sand beach at all, went back to the Prophet Elias Monastery for the views and walked a bit in Oia. We did not really walk around Fira at all except to get from the cablecar to the van and back to the cable car. It probably would have worked better to just have the ceremony on an area of one of the beaches - the location of the ceremony was beautiful but relatively out of the way for everything else we did. We seemed to be driving a lot more than we were out of the car. The winery was fantastic, but a bit rushed because we needed to be back on the ship earlier than anticipated (COVID testing for return to the US was held on the ship from 6-8p, even though the ship didn't leave port until 930). The celebrant and photographer were perfect.
Jennifer R., Cherry Hill, NJ - May 2022
Argostoli Kefallonia, Greece
Katarena was our guide - very friendly and personable. Melissani Lake was beautiful, lines not too long. Drogarati Caves also very cool - did not realize how many steps there were to go down (our own fault) but all good! We spent a good bit of time there. Sami was not really what we expected - most shops were either very touristy or closed. The guide said most people stop there to have a meal/drink by the water in one of the restaurants. We ended up purchasing some local wine, beer and cups and just having our own toast by the water but not much to do there. Very nice, relaxing day with beautiful things to see.
Jennifer R., Cherry Hill, NJ - May 2022
Villefranche, France
We had a fabulous afternoon with Alan on May 2, 2022. We traveled from Villefranche to Eze to Monte Carlo and then back through Nice before being returned to the port. Alan provided a great tour and gave us plenty of opportunities to stop and enjoy each place we visited. We likely disappointed him as we didn't take advantage of the free time that he was offering in Monte Carlo near the casino. Walking the streets of Monte Carlo near the palace and church where Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier were married was lovely and informative. As was, the market area in Nice where we stopped at a cafe for a drink (Alan passed on joining us). And, we were very glad that he was driving on those narrow, sometimes crowded roads!
It was such an enjoyable experience, we will certainly keep Private Shore Trips in mind when we next travel to Europe!
Thanks for the opportunity to see so much of the France's Gold Coast.

Athens
I just wanted to give you a big thumbs up for everything that happened to make this trip into Athens perfect. The transfers went off without a hitch and all of your people were great. I did not hear one negative word of feedback. I’m not sure who our guide was yesterday she said her name was Mirta but she was outstanding - the city tour and the guide of the museum was great and the lunch stop was a really big hit. The food was terrific and we had a really superb time. Today the bus to the pier was there right on time and in fact here we sit at the pier and we are early. It was a superb experience using private shore tours please give my thanks to everybody involved it was great!
Sondra W., Travel Leaders - Richland, WA - Oct 2021
Monaco / Monte Carlo
I have to tell you our tour with Pierre was amazing! All we had hoped for and more. He was friendly and full of passion for and information about this lovely part of the world. He was able to answers questions about large historical and geographical matters as well as more entertaining and personal ones like where to shop and eat and how to handle prickly pears without getting spines in your skin. His driving left Jim and I feeling safe and well cared for. If all your guides are like him, you are lucky.
We are very happy we took this tour with your company and it confirmed for us that we will come back, probably to Nice, to stay for a month or two next year or the year after. We will be in touch for another tour at that time.
In short, we want to thank you very much for this memorable experience. We couldn’t be happier with the tour.
Laura M., - Maple Ridge, BC Canada - Apr 2019
Naples and Barcelona
We all had a wonderful time and the shore trips were great. All the vehicles had great air conditioning which we appreciated in the smoldering heat wave we were experiencing.
I especially like to commend the driver/ tour guide that drove us to the Amalfi coast, Sorrento and Positano. His name was Michele and he gave us a lot of interesting information of the area and a great help when we thought we had lost two in Positano!
In Barcelona, Montserrat Faus Ribera, our guide was absolutely magnificent ! We all loved her and learned a lot from current politics to history to Art. She is a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic person. Too bad we did not have the time to arrange another tour with her.
Hopefully, we’ll have another opportunity to visit Europe in the near future and maybe can arrange tours with you once again.
Thank you for all your help.

Cathy P., - Maple, ON Canada - July 2018
Cannes
I couldnt have asked for more. Driver was professional, very informative, and his personality was a pleasure. Everything he told us was NOT read from a script, which made it more pleasurable. I will recommend you to our cruise friends on their next visit. Thanks again
Andrew W., - West Milford, NJ - Aug 2018
Villefranche
Our tour from Villefranche was great. Our driver (Sebastian) did a wonderful job. He was on time, showed us what we wanted to see in an efficient manner and he knew the areas well in regards to driving, parking and walking. He was also very informative in regards to the history of the area and sites. He took several photos us of in scenic places that are some of our favorites of the trip. We were very happy with him and your services.

Joseph was perhaps the best guide we have ever had - very knowledgeable and helpful, stayed with us most of the day and left us with a wonderful feeling about your beautiful country.

The tour from Cannes was perfect. Our guide was excellent and took us exactly where we wanted to go and suggested other places that he knew we’d like and he was right. A great trip. Many thanks to you and our guide
Tony W., - Cayuga, Ontario Canada - July 2018
Cannes
It was the highlight tour of the holiday, without a doubt, and that's not just the opinion of the adults but also echoed by our 16 year old girls.
Our driver guide Pierre was tops. Knew the history and facts of course but also trivia and urban legend type details that were often good for a laugh. Our drive along the corniche between Cannes and Monte Carlo would have been so less impressive if we had done a coach tour. Having Pierre in our own van was fantastic. We loved our free time in Eze and Monte Carlo almost as much as our walks and drive with Pierre. He is a star.
Thanks for arranging such a lovely trip and on short notice. Much appreciated.
Dina D., - Key Largo, FL - July 2018
Cannes
The tour guide was excellent. At our request we visited several small villages, ate at a beautiful restaurant at the top of a mountain, and found local markets and an art show. It was a wonderful day.
Shari G. - Freehold, PA - July 2018

We really enjoyed our tour with Francesca. She was very knowlegable about the surrounding areas and took us to several best scenic views of France. Wish we had more time though. We would definitely recommend this tour again.

Travel Agent Review - Marseille, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Naples
Just a quick note...heard back from client and he had nothing but great comments about the tours. He is not easy to impress. He commented that the last port (Naples) was
well orchestrated considering there were multiple modes of transportation.
Thanks again for all of your assistance. Looking forward to more bookings with you!

Michael was great! He told us alot about the region and was very polite. Driving was good and he never took a personal phone call during the entire trip. He was patient with our little boy especially when we asked him to pull over as our boy was feeling carsick. Michael actually extended the tour without extra charges which we really appreciate. He was the best guide of all the excursions I booked.
Theresa T., Kowloon NA Hong Kong - May 2018

Yes we arrived home safe. We enjoyed the tour very much. I’m sorry I can’t remember the guides name he was fantastic. We spend more time at the exotique garden at Eze ,to our liking and the guide went to the perfume tour place and grabbed us some samples which I thought was going the extra mile in his position. Information given from guide was informative. We will refer your tour company on to our business associates and friends, as we enjoyed the tour.
