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 TransfersGiven 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 TourDuring 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 TransportationFor 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.RecommendationBased on this exceptional experience, I highly recommend Venture Ashore for group travel needs. I will certainly use their services again for future trips.
We Booked a FLorence and Pisa shore excursion from La Spezia where our ship docked. The website is very misleading. We booked a 'transfer and walk with local', rather than 'transport only' and paid extra for this. You would assume it would be a knowlegable guide. Firstly they didn't have our correct booking and said we asked for transport only. It took 20 minutes to confirm we had the 'with a guide and not transport only. When we got to Florence, this 'guide' took us to the main streets and when asked about anything, she said she couldn't tell us as she was not a licensed guide. I could have followed a map to the main attractions ourselvles. We learnt nothing about beautiful Florence. When the coach got to Pisa, they left us in a Coach Park with no directions of how to get to the leaning Tower. The 'guide' was just on her phone all the time. You think you might be saving money from the cruise excursions but this was an utter waste of money as it is not a proper guided tour. Beware!
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.
