Looking for feedback on "privateshoretrips"

Has anyone used this brokerage to book tours within Europe, specifically Nice/Monaco,Eze? I am not finding many private tour companies offering such and they seem to offer good value.

As I suggested on your other thread -- you might want to ask this on the Cruise forum since the company emphasizes shore excursions.

They're only an agency, using local tour operators.

They are expensive compared to sorting out a tour privately - I assume part of this is agency fees. For a one day tour from Le Havre, for instance, they appear to be twice the price of the local operators (one of which I assume is actually doing the tour).

Check on Tours by Locals - they also take a booking fee (20%) but the prices are more in line with what I would expect.

I saw this and wanted to recommend them. We used Private Shore Trips when we visited Cannes in 2013. We visited Nice, Eze, Monaco and Monte Carlo. The guide was great. My kids think she was the best part of the tour. I wish I could remember her name to recommend here but just can't recall. Anyways, they were recommended from a friend who had used them the year before for several tours. If we cruise again, we hope to use them!

- - and how could you have just 'seen this' since the thread is more than 3 years old. You had to have searched it out specifically (to post a glowing review ??? )
