Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tours and transportation services. It was our pleasure to have you with us, and we hope to welcome you back for more memorable experiences in the future!
Rome tour
From organizing a group of 13, Olivia made it a breeze. Finding the meeting place from the cruise ship was easy and well organized. We visited many sites in Rome even seeing the Pope. My only suggestion is splitting the large group of 51 people in half as it was very hard to keep up through the narrow streets and not enough time to take pictures due to it being very crowded. All in all it was a great tour.

Thank you for your great review of your Venture Ashore excursion in Athens, Greece. I am glad we were able to make your stay in Athens as best as it could be. We hope to see you again shortly on another Venture Ashore tour!

We did the 3 tour package ..White pass Summit, Juneau Whale Watching, Ketchikan Tour.
I have to say we were disapointed in 2 of these trips
Juneau Whale Watching we were taken to a place where there were 2 sightings, we saw the tail of 1 whale & water spouts but the other whale fell asleep, that couldnt be helped but we never went anywhere else we just stayed in that 1 spot, we never saw any other wildlife. If we went again i would definately book locally their passengers saw a whole lot more than us.
The Ketchikan tour was rushed , the Museum was closed.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience with two of the tours didn’t meet your expectations. While wildlife sightings, especially whales, can be unpredictable, we understand how disappointing it is when the experience doesn't live up to the excitement. We also regret that the Ketchikan tour felt rushed and that the museum was closed during your visit.
Your comments are very important to us, and we’ll be sharing them with our local partners to ensure improvements are made where possible.
We always strive to deliver memorable and well-rounded excursions, and we’re sorry we missed the mark in this case.

Thank you for your positive comments about your Venture Ashore excursions in Livorno and Barcelona. We are glad you found the website and booking process easy. We hope to see you again on another tour very soon.
The meet up instructions were unclear…
The meet up instructions were unclear for us. The windows in bus were fogged over so no chance to see anything. We drive to dock and get off and then back on bus to see glacier only to turn around and back to dock while listening to litany of how messed up company is from driver. The whale watching part was excellent! Use some shaving cream for the windows to clear the fog.

Your comments about the unclear meeting instructions and fogged-up bus windows have been noted, and we appreciate you bringing them to our attention. We’ll be reviewing these issues with our local partners to ensure future guests enjoy a more seamless and comfortable experience.
We also regret that your experience was affected by the guide’s commentary, and we’ll follow up with the operator to address the professionalism expected during tours. Thank you again for your honest feedback, and we hope to welcome you on a better experience in the future.
Very enjoyable Alaska
On the 3 trips that we had booked we had a really good time with very few other people. Infact only us on 2 of the adventures. Polite staff on the tours

Amazing Tours in Athens and Istanbul
My wife and I worked with Venture Ashore during our Seaborn Athens to Istanbul cruise this summer. Truly first-class guides - Antigoni in Athens; Ekran in Istanbul. We experienced both destinations in ways that we would not have found from a standard cruise excursion - hidden gems of churches and mosques; a 5-star Michelin-rated restaurant off the beaten path in Istanbul, amazing shopping that usually only locals find, and VIP treatment at every stop in our tours. On top of that, the logistics and coordination were flawless. Can't recommend high enough. Just an amazing experience. Thank you Venture Ashore team!

We’re absolutely delighted to hear that your time in Athens and Istanbul was so memorable.

We’re also glad to hear that the logistics ran smoothly and that you enjoyed some off-the-beaten-path experiences, that’s exactly what we aim for!
Thank you again for choosing Venture Ashore. We hope to welcome you back on another adventure very soon!
Left high and dry when we ventured ashore
April 2025
We booked a fabulous cruise to Hawaii earlier this year with a helicopter trip to be a very special treat on Kauai Island with Venture Ashore. We paid £594.54 for our two tickets for a Delux Waterfall Flight of the island. We had been given exact instructions where we had to meet our transportation for the trip once we disembarked our ship. We waited and waited. No one came to collect us. We re-boarded our ship and made many phone calls to resolve this problem. Eventually having got through to someone, we were told we had to make our own way there and that they did not pick passengers up from ships any more. I actually had all the paperwork saying they would pick us up. Our final day on what would have been a fabulous trip was so disappointing. We never managed to see any of the island as all the trips had by this time gone. On return from our holiday, I contacted my credit card company (for which I had paid for the trip) who were very helpful. Nevertheless, Venture Ashore's reply was that we were not entitled to a refund as we were a 'no show'. I sent all the emails through to my credit card company - showing clearly that they said they would pick up. Finally, this matter has been resolved and I have my refund but nothing can put right the disappointment we felt on that last day of our cruise of Hawaii.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent experience with Venture Ashore.
We’re sorry to hear that your day didn’t go as planned. Our local partner did their best to accommodate the situation by rebooking you onto a later flight at 11:20 AM. Unfortunately, it appears there were further complications in reaching the meeting point in time for this departure.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience you experienced on arrival.
Your experience is important to us, and we will continue to review what happened to help improve our service going forward.

Thank you for your great rating on your groups Venture Ashore excursions in Alaska. We are glad you enjoyed the tours and hope to work with your group again next time you travel!
Mixed Ventura
The evening entertainment in the theatre was superb .
The entertainment after 11.00pm was very average . Only one bar had something happening and then to 11.30 only . The entertainment structure was lacking .
The catering staff and kitchen staff, serving staff were of a very good standard .
The boat had a lack of activities especially during sea days .
The resident Headliners group was outstanding . Visiting acts including a Dutch band trio were very entertaining.
The Ventura only had 2 tenders for around approximately 2000 folk wanting to get ashore in Guernsey. Waiting time both ways was excessive.
Cleaning staff were excellent.
Enjoyed the cruise , 🚢 requires upgrading .

Hi Brian,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
It appears that your comments relate to the overall cruise experience rather than an excursion booked through Venture Ashore. As a provider of independent cruise excursions (not the cruise itself), we would love to hear about your specific experience with any of our tours.
If you did join a Venture Ashore excursion, we’d be truly grateful if you could share your feedback on that part of your trip, it really helps us continue delivering memorable, high-quality experiences to our guests.
Thank you again, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!
Charming Tour Guides
I took 2 tours with Venture Ashore: 1 in Puerto Plata, the Dominican Republic and 1 in Philipsburg, St. Martin. Both tour guides were excellent. They were personable, respectful, knowledgeable and lots of fun! Both tours were great!

We took two tours with Venture Ashore
We took two tours with Venture Ashore, Rome, Italy (6-18), and Cannes, France (6-21). I can’t say “thank you” enough for the wonderful and knowledgeable drivers we had. Both of these tours were private ones and they were fabulous. Our driver in Rome surprised us and took us to places we didn’t even know about, plus he was able to get us to the places we wanted to see. He also took us to a restaurant that we thoroughly enjoyed. Our Cannes driver took us all over as well and told us and showed us the sites. I won’t be using anyone besides Venture Ashore anymore. You really did a phenomenal job! We only had so much time (we were on a cruise), but we saw A LOT during both tours. Thank you again!

Resposta da Venture Ashore
Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing Venture Ashore for your tours in Rome and Cannes! We are absolutely delighted to hear that both experiences exceeded your expectations.
Our team takes great pride in offering knowledgeable, flexible, and personable drivers, especially for private tours where customization makes all the difference. It’s wonderful to hear that your driver in Rome not only brought you to iconic sites but also introduced you to hidden gems (and there are plenty of them in Rome) and even a memorable local restaurant! Likewise, we’re so pleased that your Cannes driver provided a rich and scenic experience despite the limited cruise time.
We truly appreciate your trust and support, and we look forward to helping you create even more unforgettable moments on future adventures.
Thank you again, and we hope to welcome you back soon!
Great time in Cozumel!
the excursions are the same or better than available on the cruise lines. they offer same guarantee to be returned to the cruise ship prior to departure. in 2025 we did the Cozumel open air bus ride around town, visit downtown (some walking & shopping). next stop was Mayan experience. sampled some tequila (don't buy any- it's too expensive). last stop was at a roadside cafe on the coast (rocky, not sand). had a strong rum drink in a hand cut coconut. pickup was fine. excursion was as described. our experience has been having a great guide, someone we could talk with, ask questions and laugh with.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Venture Ashore and for the thoughtful review!
We’re thrilled to hear that our excursions met, and even exceeded, your expectations compared to those offered directly by the cruise lines. Providing the same return-to-ship guarantee, along with personalized service, is something we’re proud to offer.
Your description of the Cozumel open-air bus tour, the Mayan experience, and the coastal cafe stop truly captures the spirit of the excursion. We’re glad the pickup was smooth and the tour matched the description provided, transparency is very important to us. And we agree, having a great guide can make all the difference! We're happy to know yours was engaging, knowledgeable, and fun to talk with.
We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!
