Frequently Asked Questions
What is a private shore excursion?
A private shore excursion is a guided tour exclusively for your group — not shared with other people. You get your own vehicle, driver guide or driver and guide, and the itinerary can be adjusted to your interests and pace.
Do I need to be on a cruise to book a tour?
No. While many of our guests are cruise passengers, most of our tours are also available for hotel-based travelers. We arrange pickup from your hotel or accommodation instead of the cruise port. Contact us to arrange a land-based tour.
How are your tours different from cruise ship excursions?
Our tours are private and flexible. You travel with only your group — not 40+ strangers on a bus. You can adjust the itinerary on the go, spend more time at places you love, and skip what doesn't interest you. We also offer VIP skip-the-line access at major attractions.
What is your cancellation policy?
We understand that travel plans can change. You can review our full cancellation policy on our Cancellation Policy page. We recommend booking early to secure availability, especially during peak season.
Will we get back to the ship on time?
Yes. For cruise passengers, we offer a Back-to-Ship Guarantee. Our guides and drivers monitor the schedule throughout the day to ensure you return to the port before your ship departs.
Can I customize a tour or book for a larger group?
Yes. All of our tours can be customized to fit your interests, schedule, and group size — whether you're arriving by cruise ship or staying at a hotel. We accommodate groups from 2 people to 50+. Visit our Group Services page and request a custom quote.
