We had a great experience on our tour. Our guide was informative and professional. Our ship was late docking and he waited for us...greatly appreciated.

Our whole group was happy I think... We all lunched together and enjoyed.
Would recommend!
Cheers

Dear Shorebee

We did enjoy our cruise, as a first time cruiser we did find your website helpful, giving much used information that we found was unbiased and highly accurate.

The onshore excursion we booked through your self was delivered almost as advertised the only shortcoming was that we only saw one of the mummified bodies.

There was some confusion at the pickup point as many tours where being run by world tours and other tour operators but this was quickly resolved.

The Bus was top class and the driving was excellent, though the driver did seem to be a little grumpy.

The guide was outstanding and after the picking up another group in town started his introduction ,the information provided was excellent and a constant flow throughout the tour only interrupted by the many questions asked and answered in a professional manor.

We were dropped off and picked up directly outside the entrance to the site. The site was busy but he managed to  keep us all together without being overbearing or condescending , his voice was powerful and we had no trouble hearing all of his conversations.

The tour became one of the highlights of our holiday.

Hello.

We had a very nice tour with Ismael (driver)and Josep (guide).  Ismael seemed to be a very good and safe driver.  Josep was very knowledgeable about the tour route and shared some interesting stories in relationship to what we were seeing.  He also explained what we were going to see and do throughout the tour.  He was particularly attentive to the needs of group members when it came to their leaving the tour, and he made dining recommendations.  We were going back to our ship, so we appreciated the lift back.  We were back in plenty of time.
Josep's english was very good, and the use of a speaker when we were out in the crowd was helpful.  It worked best when you were right in front of it, but not as well if you were on the side.  I tried to move more central in order to hear.
My wife asked about a certain tree in a park, and Josep knew exactly what it was and told a story about how it could cause death.  It seemed that Josep was never lacking for an answer to a question.
Ishmael and Josep coordinated what they did in sync with each other very well.  

Thank you for offering the tour.

Hi ShoreBee Team,

came back from our cruise and just wanted to give you some feedback about our experience.
The shore excursion we booked with you worked out perfectly. Departure on time at 8.30am with a boat directly from the port to the Oia port. From there a quick bus ride up to Oia. Arriving at around 9.45am. Then we had time to explore the town completely on our own. Buses back were at 11am, 12noon, 1pm and 2pm. They had enough seats and busses ready for the transport to Fira (about 20'). From Fira back to the port we walked....took about only 30' and there weren't many donkeys around - it's end of season soon I guess. Great experience all around, well organised and on time.
It's the first time we've used ShoreBee (there weren't many reviews around yet to find about Santorini), but with the great experience this time - and for this price - it's surely not the last time we've booked with you guys. We had a great cruise and a fantastic day here in Santorini. And compared to Shore Excursions from the cruise lines where you only get around 90' on your own, this Tour here gave us between 3-4 hours to enjoy. Loved it.
Best

Hello,

Satisfied with the on shore guided tours as per the above cities visited recently from Oct 2 to Oct 4 respectively.
Would be really good if one bottle x 1 litre  of drinking water be provided at those dates of the selected tours

By the way, do you conduct or connected to another on -  shore tour companies if I do sign up for Baltic cruise from Denmark to Russia etc
In the near future .

Thank you.

Sincerely ,

Would be nice if one  bottle drinking water be provided free since its a very hot  day.
Some time needed like 30 minutes to shop at the nearby stalls lime tee shirts , base ball caps near Trevi fountain areas.

Thank you

Goedenavond,

We hebben erg genoten van onze dagtrip naar Rome. Jammer dat het soms wat gehaast ging, maar het was ook geen doen om Rome in een dag te zien. De bus was prima en de gids was enthousiast in zijn vertelling. De chauffeur deed zijn best om ons veilig door Rome te loodsen en toch nog op tijd bij de transferbus naar de cruiseboot terug te zijn.

Hartelijke dank en met vriendelijke groet,

Good in general, just the 2.5 euro for headset for each person collected on the bus is a bit strange. My parents don’t speak English so they don’t need it but the fee is still payable, which means essentially it’s tip to the driver and the guide. In this case, maybe it is better to include it in the trip fee paid upon reservation, and leave the guests to decide how much tips to give.
