5 of 5 Review Location- Rostock - Warnemunde June 9, 2026
Reviewer: Fitz G from Laureldale, Pennsylvania  
We were met at the pier by our guide, Geraldine. Very personable, professional, and ON TIME. We had a wonderful time! There were eight in our party, and the van accommodations were perfect. I might add that I have been bringing groups to Europe for the past thirty years, and Private Shore Trips (Travels with Friends) is the best at what they do.

5 of 5 Review Location- Rostock - Warnemunde April 12, 2026
Reviewer: Bridgette G from Aurora Canada  
I have been meaning to get in touch and letting you know that all private tours were right on time even though after reconfirming from the hotel in Copenhagen my German phone never worked, so I was a bit concerned how it would work out but they were all there, were professional and helpful and with the three boys it was the best decision I made about the whole trip to have the private tours. I knew this cruise would not be the perfect itinerary for teen age boys but I think the guides we had made it work, adjusted the programs tour over the city rather than the city tour as it would have given the boys a thrill and me the kind of overview of the city one could not get from a car. I dont mean it complaining, it is more hindsight on my part. I would recommend Private tours to anyone with a small group, as the flexibility and advantage of passing all the long long line ups for all the larger groups and sneaking in ahead of them was worth alone the extra cost. On top of it the flexibility was just priceless for the boys. I have less good things to say about the cruise line, found the ship not well organized and not at all helpful for anyone not wanting their tours and giving the rest of us wrong information about landing procedures at least 12 the time. Well, I have learned a lot and even though I will never be a total cruise fan, the baltic itinerary is really very informative if one prepares oneself as there was little or no advanced information on the destination ports given to us from the ship itself. So, thanks for your helpful service, I would recommend booking private tours to anyone!! You are welcome to quote my recommendation if needed.

Returned from our Baltic Cruise last evening and wanted to send a warm THANK YOU to you for your efforts in arranging our two days of tours with Natalya in St. Petersburg and our lovely Katarina in Rostock, Germany. We will certainly call upon you again as we plan on cruising with my brother and his wife in Alaska next!

I wanted to let you know that all five of our shore excursions were fantastic! The guides and drivers were fabulous, and all exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed every minute, learned a lot, and are so grateful to Private Shore Trips for giving us such a memorable first trip to Europe!

5 of 5 Review Location- Rostock - Warnemunde 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.
