12martini Posted September 17, 2007 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2007 we're looking for a private tour at the Nice (Villefranche), France port on October 25, wondering if there are any good suggestions for tour guides out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusticfurnituremaker Posted September 17, 2007 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2007 We have heard many good things about, and have booked, Alain of Dream Tours infos@dream-tours.com (ALAIN DREAM TOURS) He is most anxious to gear the tour to what we want, and responds promptly to my emails. His fees are in line with others in the region ie: 480 euros (four people) to 600 (eight people) for a 9 hour tour. Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy P. Posted September 18, 2007 #3 Share Posted September 18, 2007 With regards to Dream tours, when you say 480 euros, that is the price when there are 4 people in the tour, right? and not 480 per person. Are there other fees when you book a private tour, taxes etc? Do they require downpayment prior to cruise? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The total is 600E, or 75E each. There was no deposit required to make the booking. Follow my blog and you will find out how much we enjoyed our tour! :D Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveScotland Posted September 18, 2007 #5 Share Posted September 18, 2007 A year ago I used Sylvie di Cristo who was just great. Do a Google search to find some reviews. What I liked was that she let the 7 of us on the tour choose our itinerary rather than taking us where she thought we ought to go. Good luck.

cjw1106 Posted September 19, 2007 #6 Share Posted September 19, 2007 We just returned from our cruise, and we used Revelation Tours in Villefranche. Michel from Revelation is mentioned often on this board and is very well liked. We had Isoline as our driver/guide and we thought she was wonderful. We saw everything, and more, that we had hoped to see. She even sent us back on the ship with a bag of chocolate filled croissants she purchased for us in Eze. The van was so comfortable, and she provided us with bottled water and soda throughout the day. I would highly recommend them. Have a great time!

dbh62ark Posted September 19, 2007 #7 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I've used Dream Tours twice from this port (two different itineraries for the day) and highly recommend too. Have a great trip, Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very apparant that he was all about making sure we had a wonderful experience. Can't say enough about him!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hajekfam Posted September 21, 2007 #10 Share Posted September 21, 2007 We used Revelation tours and were very satisfied. They even provided a little booklet about the sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Junky Posted September 21, 2007 #11 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I think everyone that's been mentioned here is very good. You won't go wrong with Dream Tours, Revelation Tours, or Sylvie. We had an amazing day with Sylvie, she was a real highlight for us. When we then used Driver in Rome a few days later in Rome, Daniel, the owners son, told us he thought Sylvie was the best tour guide in Europe.
