Review Location- Group Services October 9, 2025 Reviewer: Susan P from Irvine, CA   We just got back yesterday, Sep 17 and I am very glad to bring the good news that all the tours have been a wonderful success!!! The buses were very comfortable and the tour guides have been great and considerate of our senior citizens. We all applauded the end of every tour and We have all been recommending Private Shore Trips web site to all the people we met on the ship. You know that recommendation and word of praises are good advertisements for your business. Well surely get in touch with you when the need arises.Again, a million thanks for what you did for us that made our vacation a truly enjoyable one. Also, we got lucky with good weather.

Review Location- Group Services September 12, 2025 Reviewer: Maureen H from Roswell, GA   It is with great pleasure that I write to you about our day! We had the best trip ever. He took us around Villefranche, then to the MOST beautiful spot on the coast, Eze. I could have stayed there forever. We knew nothing about it, till we were dropped off at the end of the lane. It was so breathtaking that I cant talk about much else. We went to Monaco, Monte Carlo, and back to Nice to the top of a mountain to look up and down the coast. He found the BEST places to stop and I think we saw more than any (ship tour) folks did. I will be back in May and look forward to another day with Yorgi!!!! Was this review helpful to you?

Review Location- Group Services September 8, 2025 Reviewer: Janet J from Edmond, Oklahoma   We enjoyed our vacation so much and our private tours were wonderful! Katrine picked us up in Cannes and we had such an enjoyable day with her. She was a wonderful guide and she made our day so special! There were 8 of us with her that day and we all enjoyed the day -- it was one of our best on the trip!Then, when we were in Rome, we had Constantino who met us at the ship and 4 of us spent the day with him. He, too, was wonderful and so knowledgeable of the history of Rome. He was so flexible with changing some plans at the last minute and suggesting other things we might enjoy seeing. He recommended a great restaurant for lunch and made our day such a memorable experience! I cant say enough good things about our experience with the guides. We definitely would recommend Private Shore Trips and will be using your company again in the future. Our private tours were so much nicer than the tours we did with the ship!

Review Location- Group Services September 7, 2025 Reviewer: Frank G from Palmetto FL - Canada   We had a wonderful voyage through the Aegean Sea and Greece. In general, all of our excursions and guides were fantastic. In every case, the guides were at the designated meeting areas before we arrived and easily identified with my name on a large sign. The drivers were professional, safe, and cautious, and the vehicles were clean and comfortable. We found the tour guides to be very friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and flexible. Please find below the list of guides beginning with our favorite to least preferred 1. Ephesus - Yesim - ****** - very knowledgeable, deep depth of history, warm, personality plus (had lunch with us), she is the total package). 2.

Review Location- Group Services September 3, 2025 Reviewer: Paula C from Chepachet RI   Sorry for the delay in getting back to you but the holidays make things so crazy. We had the time of our lives. The tours were beyond our expectations. Our guides for both trips were waiting on the pier for us. The Vans were roomy, beautiful and thankfully air conditioned. We were brought into the city centers where the larger tour buses were not allowed due to their size. It was amazing the knowledge of our guides and their English was wonderful.We started with Villefranche, John Luke just seem to know it all. We saw sites of art and John Luke guided us through the history of each as if he were there. Oh and the perfume factory was amazing, of course I could not leave without purchasing some, I wear it and it takes me back to France. We went to a wonderful local restaurant, the food was great and even though there was a line we were seated within moments, thanks to John Luke.Then there was Florence. Our guide Stefano was wonderful. There was so much art, and the history that Stefano gave us was amazing. Stefano took us to a little cafe for lunch where we got a taste of local Italian cuisine which was absolutely delicious.Both our guides spoke English well and were so knowledgeable of the areas we toured. We would have never experienced all that we did without their expertise, and knowledge.I can not thank you enough for the memories you gave us that all of us will cherish forever. I will most certainly contact you for future travel. I also told my family and friends that when they travel abroad they must contact you. Was this review helpful to you?

Review Location- Group Services August 21, 2025 Reviewer: Judy Z from Mission Viejo, CA   A million times THANK YOU!!! Working with you has been the greatest pleasure from our first communications with each other, all the way through to receiving your most welcome   Welcome Home   right on our first day home.Our trip was wonderful . . .gorgeous weather, magnificent sights, & the whole family (My husband, myself, two sons, & two daughters-in-law) got along beautifully. You cant ask for anything more, but we did get more!Every one of us said that our day with Max (the guide you had arranged for) was an absolute highlight! He was delightful to be with, he showed us everything that we had asked to see, plus so much more, and he managed to do it within the time allotted without ever making us feel rushed. The day was perfect.Not only will we be in touch the next time we go to Europe, but we will also make sure that everyone we know that is heading that way knows what a beautiful job Private Shore Trips does.

Review Location- Group Services August 21, 2025 Reviewer: Gloria W from Roselle, IL   We had a wonderful time! Our guide in Monte Carlo was an excellent guide and a real sweetheart. He was very knowledgeable, spoke and understood English perfectly - no trouble understanding him. He took very good care of us - we wish he could have traveled Europe with us. The Florence tour was also very nice. We had some difficulty understanding our guide, Diego. However, he tried very hard and did a good job showing us around. We are very happy to have chosen Private Shore Trips and I recommended you to other travelers we encountered. Hopefully they will use your firm for their future travels. I really appreciate all of your time and efforts in helping us have a wonderful vacation. Was this review helpful to you?

Review Location- Group Services August 20, 2025 Reviewer: Alina R from CPA, Carolina, Puerto Rico   I want to thank you for all your help with our shore excursions, the experience was amazing. We took the Voyager of the Seas and we were four adults traveling with an 18 month old baby. The guides paid attention to all of our needs. They also recommended places to visit as well as restaurants.All of our guides spoke both English and Spanish fluently, which made it easier to communicate with them. All the guides were knowledgeable, friendly, careful drivers, and followed through on all our requests. We are very happy to have chosen Private Shore Trips and I recommended you to all the people we know. Hopefully they will use your firm for their future travels. I really appreciate all of your time and efforts in helping us have an unforgettable vacation. Was this review helpful to you?

Review Location- Group Services August 18, 2025 Reviewer: Shannon S from Temecula, CA   The tours went well, the tour guides were excellent, very knowledgeable (most of them history professors moonlighting as tour guides during school breaks), and professional. Well done! The drivers were very cooperative and worked well with the tour guides. Good Team!Next year, I will be planning Dubai and Jordan. If you do these places, I will be in touch with you again. On behalf of my group, thank you. Monaco - The tour was fantastic. We really enjoyed our driverguide. We did a lot of tours during our trip and I must say this tour was one of the best. Ill be happy to recommend to my friends. Was this review helpful to you?

Review Location- Group Services August 15, 2025 Reviewer: Marie D from Boston, MA   Thank you very much we had a marvelous time and Anthony our Tour Guide was wonderful. He was accommodating, extremely well informed in every area we visited, his English was very good, he allowed us to tour as we had requested but was more than helpful and right on the mark in his recommendations of time needed in each area, he was always there upon our return to a designated meeting spot. All in our group felt that we had made an extremely wise choice and would not hesitate to use Travel with Friends in the future and certainly would recommend others to do the same.
