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!
Great value for your money

We do indeed get a lot of great feedback on them as they take all the guess-work out of picking a tour in each port. And its a discounted rate as well! Hope you get to book more great Venture Ashore tours on your next vacation!

Five excursion trip
Had a total of 5 excursions on our recent trip. The excursion to Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace was a disaster. The pick up was late, arrived at Buckingham Palace while the activities were already in progress, actually missed most of the activity. Then transferred via coach to Westminster Abbey
The driver could not operate the air conditioning on the bus as we sat in gridlocked traffic. The driver not only didn’t know where he was going but wasn’t familiar with the equipment. In fact, most of us did not return on the coach, instead walking the short distance. Very disappointed. The other excursions were wonderful.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience on the Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace excursion did not meet expectations. Delays and operational issues, such as the air conditioning and navigation problems you described, are certainly not the standard we aim to uphold, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Please be rest assured that your comments have been shared with our operations team. Your experience is not reflective of the quality we strive to deliver.
We're glad to hear you enjoyed your other excursions with Venture Ashore and we hope those positive moments helped balance your overall trip. Once again, thank you for your feedback.
Total shambles
Iceland, hour wait in cold/rain for pick up, contact no. not recognised, so emailed. Reply was quick, time had been changed to 1 hour later, ineffective communication for those on ship with no internet, pick up points need Google pin or what3 words, chaotic change over to another coach. 2nd day no show for pick up. Another tour cancelled with inadequate notice. So disappointing. Will not use this company again but go through official cruise ship tours where pick up directly at port.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience in Iceland. The start time had been changed to 1 hour later, we had tried to contact you prior, via email and telephone to inform you of this, unfortunately these messages did not get through to you due to you being at sea.
Regarding the second day’s late cancellation of another tour, we take full responsibility and regret the disruption this caused to your plans. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we are investigating internally to ensure it does not happen again.
We appreciate your honest review — even when it’s difficult to hear — as it helps us improve. While we regret that we didn’t meet your expectations this time, we hope you’ll see these changes reflected if you decide to travel with us again in the future.
A few glitches in the works
Most tours were great (London,Norway,Iceland). However 2 tours come to mind that at were not so pleasant. Buckingham Palace,London…..bus transport to within about 2 blocks of palace. Then walk the rest of the way. It has been our experience that the guide on a walking tour always carries an identifying item (flag, umbrella). Our guide had nothing. The crush of people was incredible & we were separated from our group. Ended up walking back toward our hotel & taking Hop-on/Hop-off. Another occasion in Iceland touring Akureyri, it appeared that every tour bus in the city went to every site at the same time. Another crush of people which also impacted use of restrooms. Don’t know how this could be resolved but was less than enjoyable. Otherwise all good.

Thank you for your review of your groups tours and shore excursions in London and Iceland... Your feedback for the London tour has been noted and we will work with our guides so they are easier to find in crowded situations. And yes, some of the sites in Iceland do get very busy on cruise ship days. We try to start our days earlier to get to them before the cruise line tours get there - but your ship had a later arrival (9am) which required us to go there at the same time the ship tours were. We are glad you still had a great time and hope to have you on our tours again real soon.
Total waste of time and money !
Couldn't find your rep to collect pre paid tickets. no point of contact other traders didn;t know where you where wandering back and forth for half hour in rain. other local trader gave us free tickets for their bus tours. we will never recommend your company, and it was expensive too as we paid. in advance prior to cruise travel.

The experience of visiting Green Gables…
The experience of visiting Green Gables on Prince Edward Island was disappointing. It was described as a private group tour. Instead, we were dropped off to wander on our own. There was little to see or do, and no context. The best part was that we were able to travel in a smaller van.

Celibruty summit Alaskan cruise excursion
I had a group of 16 and was given a person named Joy to work with to reserve excursions for the group BARR FAMILY. It went great until she left and although I asked there was never a replacement. I finished the arrangements on my own. Your excursion Triple Yukon Combo Tour on June 18 from Skagway was the worst Excursion with my family members that I ever took. The driver said from the beginning that he was not going to tell us about the area but just give us his personal stories and lots of photo ops. He did that and even took us on a road that was closed.

Five port tour
We booked a five port tour. All the tours were organised well with knowledgeable guides. All the guides truly made the tours, giving lots of information and answered all our questions on local life. The transport was excellent and in new condition 👏 I would highly recommend for ease of booking and deliveryof the service. I would go so far to say my expectations where exceded, which was very surprising. I would rebook with them again without any doubts.

Disappointed
We took three tours in Norway with Venture Ashore: Flam, Geiranger, and Bergen. The one in Flam was the worst: the bus was late, while we were waiting in a parking lot in the rain. Midway on, the bus was stopped by authorities for an inspection and wasn't allowed to continue. We waited there for approximately one hour, without anybody telling us what was going on. Finally, we left and made a stop where, at that point, there was no time to browse in the stores or have a bite, and scarcely time to use a precarious bathroom, with men and women waiting in line to share a very much not first-world bathroom. Then the tour guide told us: the bus had a leak and was not only fined, but also not allowed to use the tunnels again. While they tried to find a solution, we waited another hour, stressed, and almost panicked that we'd miss the ship. There was a family with a baby and a couple that needed to catch a train, and were desperate. Eventually, the bus took the mountain road, and we got to the ship before it departed, but the tour was ruined. And hey, they didn't refund us the money. For Geiranger, they cancelled the most complete and expensive tour we had booked, replacing it with a basic tour. At least that tour was okay, however, it was not clear at all where the meeting place was, and I had to use roaming to contact the head office in the US to ask. Finally, the Bergen tour was a hop-on-hop off bus that had no problems. Summarizing, I learned this lesson: Never again will I use a tour company other than the one from the cruise, even if it's more expensive. I don't recommend Venture Ashore.

Hi Ebe, thank you for reviewing the recent shore excursions you took with Venture Ashore. We are so sorry to hear about your experience in Flam, we recently wrote to you regarding this. There was indeed one hour delay on the tour due to a control on the road from the road authorities. We understand it’s not an ideal situation for the guests, but our guide kept the group together while sharing information with them explaining the issue. Once again, please accept our apologies, the authorities in Norway are allowed to stop any vehicle for random checks. We are more than happy to address this again with you, if you can contact our support team.
