I recently booked a shore excursion with Global Shore Excursions, and it was truly the highlight of my cruise! From start to finish, everything was flawlessly organized, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.
Our private tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and catered to our pace, making sure we got the most out of every stop. The luxury transportation was comfortable, and we were able to visit incredible destinations without feeling rushed. I especially appreciated the personalized touches, such as flexible timing and recommendations that suited our interests perfectly.
One of the best parts was the exclusive access to hidden gems—we enjoyed a breathtaking coastal drive, a private cultural tour, and even a gourmet meal with stunning views. It felt like a VIP experience from start to finish!

Our recent shore excursion with Global Shore Excursions was absolutely perfect! From the moment we were greeted at the port, we felt like VIPs. The entire experience was seamless, stress-free, and incredibly well-organized.
Our private guide was not only knowledgeable but also warm and attentive, making sure we were comfortable at all times. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to explore stunning sights without feeling rushed. We especially loved the scenic coastal drive, where we had time to take in breathtaking views and capture amazing photos.
The transportation was top-notch, with a luxurious, air-conditioned vehicle that made traveling easy and comfortable. Unlike large group tours, this experience was completely personalized to our interests. We even had the chance to visit a quiet local café and enjoy an authentic meal away from the crowds—something we would have never found on our own.
What truly stood out was the attention to detail. Every part of the excursion felt carefully curated to provide a unique and enriching experience. We returned to the ship on time, completely relaxed and grateful for the memories we made.
I highly recommend Global Shore Excursions for anyone looking for a high-quality, stress-free, and immersive shore experience. This was one of the best excursions we’ve ever taken, and we can’t wait to book with them again!

A shore excursion is a guided tour or activity that cruise passengers can enjoy when their ship docks at a port. These excursions are designed to help travelers experience local attractions, culture, history, or natural beauty, whether it’s visiting ancient ruins, exploring scenic countryside, or tasting local cuisine.
Generally, no. Shore excursions are considered optional add-ons and are not included in your cruise ticket. You can book them through your cruise line or independent providers like us, often at better value and with smaller, more personalized groups.
Booking with a trusted local provider (such as Global Shore Excursions) offers several advantages:
Smaller group sizes for a more personal experience
Better value and lower prices
Flexible itineraries tailored to your interests
Authentic experiences with local guides
Most importantly, reputable providers (like us) guarantee to return you to your ship on time.
Tours provided by Global Shore Excursions are carefully timed according to your ship’s schedule. We monitor cruise arrivals and departures daily and plan each excursion with enough buffer time to ensure you’re back well before boarding closes. Many of our tours are even guaranteed return-to-ship.
There’s something for everyone, including:
Cultural and historical tours of ancient cities, temples, and landmarks
Scenic drives and countryside exploration
Food and wine tours with local tastings
Nature and wildlife excursions
Beach breaks and relaxation packages
Adventure activities, such as kayaking or hiking (available in select destinations)
