I booked this tour through a cruise app. In the details about the excursion it listed max group size would be 7 people. We were expecting to be in a van with a few other people off the ship. When we checked in we were told to get on a bus with 40+ other people. When I said we were supposed to be in a smaller group we were told that was the only transportation for our tour. The tour was mostly ok. We didn't get to visit all the locations that were listed. I do not think it was worth what I paid since we didn't get to see everything and we were not with a small group as advertised. The tour guide was great. Very knowledgeable and answered questions from everyone.

Whale watching was a great trip and experience. Could not fault it. Expensive but it delivered. Part of the trip was to a glacier. Due to our ship departing before others those on our ship were supposed to leave the glacier earlier. When I asked the driver taking us he knew nothing about leaving earlier than others. We forego the glacier trip as the timing was too tight to risk missing the ship. A negative that should be addressed but still 5 stars for the whale watching.

Alex was our guide for this trip and he was fantastic! In an unfamiliar place, Alex was very transparent and helpful in any question or circumstance we had. One of the ATVs my little brother was on had issues and Alex swapped it out easy mid-trail and kept the trip moving. This man Alex deserves a raise!

When we turned up for the trip, we were informed by your Amigo Tours representative at 9.30am on 10th July, that our tour had been cancelled. You can imagine our total frustration as we had not been informed in advance by them or yourselves. We have still not received the refund.

Excellent communication from both the company and our driver/guide. Car was air conditioned and a welcome break from the heat. The driver was courteous, very knowledgeable and took the time to explain what we were looking at, where we were and even some tips to avoid the queues. All in all I would happily use this company again.

Extremely helpful when I needed to make an amendment

A lovely tour guide very professional and knowledgeable lovely thoughtful and caring.. Guna was our tour guide in Golden Circle tour, she was the best of all our tours of our cruise. Highly recommend 👌

We took two trips with Ventures the first to Ephesus where the guide was very good and knowledgeable. However at the house of Mary we had to queue for 90 mins. He didn't give us any idea of how long it would be so returned to the ship and hour later than expected. Our second trip was to Sorrento and Pompeii. Sorrento was very rushed we had around 30 mins to find some lunch. Pompeii was great but again not long enough. Excellent guide in Pompeii. The negative was although the bus driver was very good the minibus was really old and tatty, with almost 366k on the clock. This included seats that needed cleaning and internal door panels that needed replacing.
