There is virtually no one that would want to go to France and not see some of the many sites this country has to offer. The shore excursions offered here are in much demand. If you are not partaking in one with your cruise line, then you may opt to choose one from the private Companies that offer them. There are some things that you will want to check out first.

1. Make sure to check with the company that they are prepared for tours at your landing site as well as lining up the times of arrival and return. You do not want to be on a tour and get halfway through then realize you have to be back to the ship.
2. Ensure that the highlights are points of interest to you. There is no point in going on a tour to find that you are not interested in the majority of what it includes.
3. Find out something about the guides. Do they speak good English and are they able to interpret for you. Are they going to be knowledgeable in what they show you? It is always nice to learn some interesting facts about the place you are touring. The guide should be able to answer some of the general questions. Some touring companies have guides specialized in specific areas. This makes for a most interesting tour.

Being as there is so much to see in France there is a wide choice of tours. Some will span the entire days while shorter ones will run for half days. Some are of no interest to the children while others are family orientated and as such are diversified in their itinerary

One of the most famous places in France is the French Riviera. A tour here demands a full day. A tour such as this would begin with a magnificent view that is present along the Moyenne Corniche. The excitement would begin at the top of the mountain. From here, you can see a panoramic view of the coast. You would be visiting an exquisite medieval village of Eze. While here, you must take in everything that is offered such as a famous glass workshop and a branch of the Fragonard Perfumerie. You may even want to pick up a souvenir or two after all France is famous for its perfume. To afford you the beauty of this country you would move to a 1st century Roman Village called the terrace of Monaco. Next stop may be the Trophy of the Alps.

We could continue and tell you more of the various sights and wonders that you would see on this wonderful day tour but that would ruin the intrigue of what awaits you. If the Rivera is not one of your main choices then not to worry for they are many other tours available to you. Just remember if you are choosing a full day tour then it is not stop activity, you are no doubt going to sleep well after this day outing. It will be well worth the money, time and effort that you put into though.
