We had wonderful times in Naples, Rome, Florence and Pisa. All of our three drivers were excellent. We definitely will use your services in our next trips in Europe. Regards,

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 ones 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 Im 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 Im sure she did not expect the day to be so chaotic.

Ken Diaz the Group Reservation Manager of Private Shore Trips organized an amazing set of tourstransportation events for our group of 42 friends and family in MULTIPLE countries! Yes Italy, Greece & Turkey!! Or tour guides provided excellent connections with the entire group and gave a dissertation on the history of each location we visited. We had teachers in our group and they were impressed with the tour guides that says a lot!

The Pisa & Lucca excursion was great.  Glad that we went to Pisa first. Our daughter and her family took the ships excursion to Pisa and Florence.  We ran into them in Pisa!  They did not have time to visit any buildings on the Field of Miracles but we did.  Good decision to avoid Florence.

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.
