My group's excursions in St. Lucia and Puerto Rico were both amazing! We got to see a lot on the drive around St. Lucia with our funny and knowledgeable guide Lisa, and learning how to make authentic mojitos and mofongo with Chef Sergio was a highlight of the whole trip. Group specialist Olivia was great to work with. She was always responsive and helpful through the whole booking process.

Half Day Tanah Lot tour A brilliant day. Our guide was exceptionally good, so informative and made everything interesting. He gave us the time to stroll and enjoy each venue and added in the information at the right time. If all Venture Ashore trips are this good we would definitely use them again

Corey was absolutely exceptional in helping us plan and coordinate our wedding group in Portugal with 90 guests. She organized a memorable group tour to the Douro Valley, arranged seamless pick‑ups and drop‑offs for our guests, and managed the wedding day shuttles with multiple schedules for the bride, groom, and attendees. Corey served as a fantastic liaison with the transfer company, ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We highly recommend her for any group travel or event coordination—she made the entire experience stress‑free and enjoyable. Mary Hanna - Simply Mary'ed Travel
