Reviewer: Patricia P from Miami Beach, FL  
We had a wonderful trip and I want to thank you for helping us with the private tours in France (Toulon and French Riviera). The guides were punctual and knowledgeable, in addition to nice and friendly. I will definitely recommend you if I get a chance and no doubt will contact you for assistance with our next trip (a couple of years away... but already thinking about it!). It makes a huge difference to find a trustworthy source in the US for pre-arranging tours in Europe. We loved the convenience of a private tour combined with the flexibility it provided. Thank you very much! Merci! I will make sure to write a good review on trip advisor for Private Shore Trips.

5 of 5 Review Location- Group Services 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.

5 of 5 Review Location- Group Services April 5, 2026
Reviewer: Theresa R from Reno NV  
European cruise & Private Shore Trips were great! Dennis was our guide for Ephesus & he was out of this world! We were all so impressed with how he handled himself & his knowledge (not only about Ephesus, but everything). Diane could not really go with us on the tour due to the steps, etc. (she was in the minibus & thought she could walk without trouble, but then realized she was having a problem). Dennis had the driver take her to a few places to pick up some gifts & just explain to her about the area & that was so nice. The place he picked for lunch was out in the county & was one of the highlights of the tour (out of this world)! He is outstanding & everyone kept talking about him at dinner later in the evening. I will use you again, also I have told my friends about Private Shore Trips & that your company is one they can trust.

Reviewer: Harold B from Mount Calvary, WI  
We contracted for Izmir Private Tour, Option 3 on 12 Sep 2007. We had limited time ashore and requested to be met as early as possible. It was with great joy that we were greeted by Dennis of Kusadasi holding a sign having our name. In a short time we were under way in a very clean, comfortable van that easily accommodated the five of us with a smooth, cool ride and large windows to see sights. Dennis spoke English very well. We had an outstanding tour of Ephesus and places along the way. This private tour was everything we had hoped for and a superb introduction to Turkey. Dennis was extremely knowledgeable, polite, on time, organized and eager to please. He knew exactly where to take us so we could avoid time-consuming conflicts with other groups. The driver was outstanding too. He got us in and out of very tight areas and returned us to the NCL Jewel exactly on schedule. The tour was a truly memorable highlight of our entire cruise and we would highly recommend this private tour to anyone!

5 of 5 Review Location- Group Services December 3, 2025
Reviewer: Janice S from Walnut Creek, CA  
I was planning on sending you a note to thank you for arranging the tour for us. As usual, I am a little behind, slowly getting back into my daily routine and catching up at work. Anyway, about the tourI have never booked a tour like this before so I was not sure what to expect. The tour was fantastic! When we went down to the lobby of our hotel, our tour guide, Yurgi (sp) was already there waiting for us. He was very pleasant, entertaining, and amenable to the requests of our varied and sometimes crazy group. He gave us good tips about the sights and the general area of the French Riviera, and we had a wonderful lunch at one of the recommended restaurants in Monaco. I would definitely take another tour like this and would recommend it to others. Thank you!
