SHORE EXCURSIONS

Starting to plan out your perfect vacation and not sure what excursion options are available?  If you're cruising, you can select something through the cruise line directly.  These excursions provide peace of mind, since the cruise lines guarantee that the ship will never leave port before all of its excursions have returned.  However, there are some compelling reasons why many cruisers prefer to book excursions with independent tour companies. 

Independent tour companies often offer options that the cruise line does not.

Independent tour companies are usually priced lower than the cruise line.

Independent tour companies usually explore in smaller groups than the cruise line, resulting in more comfortable transportation and a more personal experience.  You can even book private and semi-private tours through independent tour companies.  These tours can be customized to your exact specifications.

When you book with an independent tour company, you are supporting a small, local business.  

But how do you know which independent tour companies are reputable and will do everything in their power to make sure that you arrive back at the ship in time?  I've taken the guess work out of this for you.  The tour companies I've listed here have a proven track record of providing AMAZING tours and RELIABLE service at a REASONABLE price.  If you scour the internet, you may find less expensive independent tour companies.  But are you willing to risk being stranded at the port because you chose the cheapest tour operator and missed the ship?
