We had a horse riding experience on St Kitts. However Venture Ashore gave us a late reporting time. 30 minutes late. We were lucky that the organiser was still there and sent us on a special bus so we got the experience. Caused a little stress.

We were met by a friendly guide clearly showing a Venture Ashore board. Then split into 2 groups to tour Phuket. Unfortunately our group guide didn’t know how to make the tour interesting. He took us places and said take photo take photo. Eg. where people go to watch the sunset. No history or interesting facts. We were taken to a museum and told to take a walk. Then dropped in the town in the middle of the day and told to look round. I didn’t really enjoy the tour which was a shame as I have been on much better ones with the same company.

We had booked 5 excursions with Venture Ashore in February for our cruise in July. Two weeks before our cruise they emailed to say that they were upgrading us as our tour in France had been cancelled. Okay - so far then the very next day they cancelled our Florence and Pisa small group tour offering another in its place - was not accepted- then two days later cancelled our trip in Taormina! It stressed me out so much we just rebooked similar (not the same) with our cruise line costing us a fortune. They are a broker so just try and find the cheapest tour operator which you could probably do yourself and save money. The trips we did do through them were good but the Amalfi Coast and Ravello and boat trip could have been booked with WorldTours Italy direct. If you want to avoid the stress involved don’t bother booking. There was no problem getting my money back but we were never given the reasons for cancellations.
