Tour guide was amazing! He showed us all of the best highlights and places during this packed tour time. He took pictures for groups, patiently waited while the Gibraltar apes came to interact. Well organized, well paced, highly informative and engaging.

I had initially booked a private tour from the ship to Rome. However, our plans changed and I called them (well over a week in advance) to ask if they could arrange for us to go to Florence instead. If not, I would be cancelling. The woman on the phone said she'd get back to me and never did. Three days before the tour, having never heard back from them, I confirmed cancellation via email and they responded that they weren't going to refund my money because it wasn't a week in advance. I decided to deal with it when I returned home. Then when we docked, there was a driver waiting because they never told him that we had cancelled. He was understandably angry which we had to deal with. Not a professional, buttoned up company and I'm still trying to get my money back.

We had a superb tour with Shore excursions in Casablanca and can recommend this tour to anyone visiting this town while on a cruise.

I've used Venture Ashore before without issue, but this time was disappointing. First, we were required to book a ferry to our meeting spot separate from the Venture Ashore reservation, which in itself was not terrible, but it was very inconvenient having to get to the ferry, book the ticket, and wait for the next ferry for over an hour. I wish it was all rolled into one booking. The biggest problem was when we got off the ferry. There was no tour guide to meet us. A local taxi driver read our voucher, made a few phone calls, and agreed to take us on the pre-paid excursion (presumably after agreeing to get paid by the Venture Ashore travel agency). Everything turned out ok in the end, but this was not the guide we were promised that would meet us at the dock. I was very scared for a bit.
