It's great to see more people going on this cruise. Have you posted to the roll call yet?

 

We are currently concidering a private tour in Villefranche and would like to explore sharing costs with other interested cruisers. We have already been in contact with Sylvie (Azur-guides-interpretes) and she is available on that date. Any interest?

Anne,

 

We haven't confirmed an itinerary yet, so we are still open to suggestions. We did want to go into Monaco/Monte Carlo and Eze. If time permits, perhaps a stop in St. Paul de Vence and the old town in Nice.

We are also on this cruise, but have already finalized a tour in this port so we are not able to share with you. I had contacted a tour company earlier in the year and asked that they keep us in mind in case anyone else requested that day in Villefranche. Have you tried this approach with the tour company?

 

I noticed another couple on cruisemates.com looking to share tours. Have you tried getting in touch with them?
