Thank you for your 5* review. Here at Venture Ashore, we take great pride in our service and excursions we provide to our customers and we really do appreciate you taking the time to review our tours. We are looking forward to seeing you again very soon.
In September 2025, I coordinated a group of 104 guests on a cruise to Greece. The logistics for this trip were managed through three separate bookings with Venture Ashore, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for all participants. Airport to Hotel Transfers Given that guests arrived on different flights throughout the day, we arranged six distinct pickup times from the airport to the hotel. This allowed each guest to be accommodated according to their travel schedule, providing convenience and minimizing wait times. Athens Tour During our stay in Greece, we organized a tour of Athens for over 90 guests. The arrangements made by Venture Ashore ensured that everyone was able to participate comfortably and enjoy the sights of the city together. Hotel to Port Transportation For the final leg of our journey, transportation from the hotel to the port was provided using three buses. The entire process was seamless, with every segment of the trip running smoothly and without any issues. Recommendation Based on this exceptional experience, I highly recommend Venture Ashore for group travel needs. I will certainly use their services again for future trips.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tours and transportation services. It was our pleasure to have you with us, and we hope to welcome you back for more memorable experiences in the future!
From organizing a group of 13, Olivia made it a breeze. Finding the meeting place from the cruise ship was easy and well organized. We visited many sites in Rome even seeing the Pope. My only suggestion is splitting the large group of 51 people in half as it was very hard to keep up through the narrow streets and not enough time to take pictures due to it being very crowded. All in all it was a great tour.
