We had a fabulous guide her name was Gonca and our driver was wonderful also. She was so informative and fun, took us to Ephesus, a hand making rug factory, a family owned pottery shop, a beautiful family owned lunch restaurant, and of course shopping! Great tour, on time and fun.

Easy to work with. Leave the details to them. They

Great hosts and a memorable adventure. This is a great way to organize your bucket list adventure.

We recently booked a 5-day shore cruise excursion with Venture Ashore for a group of 22 people, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations—largely thanks to Corey Bell. From the very beginning, Corey demonstrated exceptional planning skills and attention to detail. Coordinating an itinerary for a group of our size is no small task, but everything was thoughtfully organized, well-paced, and tailored to suit a variety of interests and needs within our group. Her communication throughout the process was clear, prompt, and reassuring, which made the planning phase smooth and stress-free. During the trip itself, Corey’s preparation truly shone. Every aspect of the excursion—from transportation to activities—ran seamlessly. Timing was spot-on, transitions between stops were effortless, and we always felt well taken care of. It was evident that a great deal of care and professionalism went into ensuring everything worked perfectly. What stood out most was Corey’s ability to anticipate potential challenges and handle them before they became issues. Her execution was flawless, allowing all 22 of us to relax and fully enjoy the experience without any concerns. We’re incredibly grateful for Corey’s hard work and dedication. She played a huge role in making this trip memorable for everyone involved. We would highly recommend both Corey Bell and Venture Ashore to anyone looking for a well-organized and expertly executed shore excursion.

Had a great time.

I'd just like to share that we had a fantastic trip with Venture Ashore on 28th March. My wife and I were very pleasantly surprised to find that we had a private SUV for the duration of the trip to Ephesus. Our tour guide was called Pinaar and she was highly trained and thoroughly pleasant throughout. She went to painstaking lengths to make sure that we had the best experience possible and that we were fully informed on every detail. Pinaar was very friendly and helpful. We had such a lovely time with her, that day. I'm sure that was enhanced because we were on a trip that was tailored just for us. I will certainly highly recommend Venture Ashore in future. That was the best sort of excursion because of the exclusivity and because of the wonderful guide we had. Thank you so much, Pinaar, and thank you to Venture Assure. Regards, Marcus and Patricia James

Olivia really took care of my group of veterans. Each excursion was perfect for our group. The one that really stood out was out Ruins tour in Costa Maya. One of my clients was really worried about "extra shopping" stops along the way. That never happened and my clients had a great time. All the excursions were with the best quality of service. Will use again

A special mention to Olivia, who made the booking process completely seamless and stress-free. Her efficiency and clear communication set the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional experience. The guides were absolutely outstanding. They were not only highly knowledgeable but also engaging and personable, making each tour both informative and genuinely enjoyable. You could tell they were passionate about what they do, which made a big difference in the overall experience. Everything was extremely well-organized, especially the transportation and tour arrangements. Timing was smooth, logistics were handled flawlessly, and I never once felt rushed or confused. It’s clear that Venture Ashore takes pride in delivering a well-executed and efficient service. Another major highlight was the pricing—Venture Ashore’s excursions were significantly more reasonable than those offered by the cruise lines, without sacrificing quality in any way. It felt like exceptional value for such a high level of service. Overall, this was a top-tier experience, and I will absolutely be booking with Venture Ashore again for future excursions. If you’re looking for a reliable, organized, and high-quality shore excursion company, this is the one to choose.
