Very proffesional. Great trips. We got back to the ship in time.

We did several Venture Ashore excursions whilst on a recent cruise from Singapore to India. All of them were different and suited our needs perfectly. We liked being in private cars with a guide. They were all extremely knowledgeable and ensured the trip went smoothly. We were informed before excursion where pick-up would be and we were returned to ship in plenty of time. I would recommend Venture Ashore excursions

We used Venture Ashore for 3 shore excursions on or recent cruise to Singapore, Thailand and India. I booked all 3 with Corey, who is based in the U.K., and was extremely quick in her responses and very helpful in getting tours booked. She also helped me book a tour at short notice while we were on board the ship, as I wasn’t able to book online. We spoke on the phone initially, as one of the tours I wanted was a pick up from the cruise port, a full day Mumbai city tour, with drop off at the airport, so pulled together for us. All the tours were very enjoyable, with small groups, which is better than the big coach loads you get with the ship organised excursions. Communication by the tour operators on the ground enforce each tour was excellent, with the operator contacting me via text or WhatsApp to provide collection time and place. The tour guides used were all extremely knowledgeable and geared their tour to the group demographic. I will definitely use Venture Ashore again on my next cruise/trip.

This review is for our ATV, zip line, sloth, Park, and beach day in Roatan Honduras. First and foremost we had a wonderful guide by the name of Carlos! He’s very friendly and funny. He made the day so enjoyable as we drove to our excursions. He would give us history of the island and his personal take on living there. We would ask for Carlos if get a chance to return! We felt he went above and beyond to make our day great. Our ATV adventure was so fun. We had both on and off road time. We were there during rainy season so there were a lot of mud puddles to go through! We drove along the coast and stopped to take some beautiful pictures. We went through 2 villages and the people were so friendly. They would make eye contact, smile and wave. We felt very welcomed in the village. The facility had a shower in the bathroom so we were able to rinse off most of our mud before heading off. We had 6 in our group and we had a van to ourselves which was nice. Carlos provided bottled water for us. On our way to the Zip-Line we stopped at a plaza with several shops. We went to coffee demonstration and chocolate making. Both delicious! From there we went to a high point that had a beautiful overlook of the bay with our cruise ship. We were able to take great pictures from up there. This stop also had some local souvenir shops. Our Zip-Line adventure was a blast. We had 17 platforms with a variety of cable lengths. 2 cable systems that made me feel super safe. Our guides were full of energy and made it a lot of fun. They took photos at a couple of locations as we zipped by. We did by the photo package. Haggle for a good price! The “sloth park” that was next to the zipline was just ok. We heard there was another sloth park that was bigger and had more sloths. The park we visited had one small sloth, 2 macaws, a few deer, Guinea pigs,a peacock, 2 pheasants and a couple of spider monkeys. We were a bit underwhelmed by it. We opted to skip the beach portion because of the weather. It was cloudy, cool, and windy! I recommend you bring cash for shopping and tips. We tipped our ATV guides, our zip-line guides and of course Carlos.

The two tours were fantastic, and my family really enjoyed the tours.

I used Venture Ashore to plan several shore excursions for a group of 22. Corey, a fabulous Group Specialist made the whole experience easy by helping me curate the list of excursions and setting up our group's webpage so everyone could go and purchase their excursions individually. She helped me to tailor the excursions to our needs, adjusting times and matching prices for similar excursions from other providers. Not only was setting it up made to be a pleasure but we had a blast, and Corey was sure to follow up with me after the fact to make sure everything went smoothly. We are now setting up excursions for my next two group cruises. I highly recommend.

We had a group of 15 that went to Greece on a cruise. We booked about 6 tours with Venture Ashore and they were all wonderful. One tour even allowed us to have some extra beach time in one of the ports which was wonderful for our group age 7 to 75. Can't wait to book even more tours on our next adventure to Portugal and Spain.

Booked 2 trips with Venture Ashore, Batu Caves in Kuala Lumpur and Back water river cruise in Cochin. Excellent itineraries for both excursions, guides were knowledgable and friendly. Communications before for meeting points etc were also excellent.
