Excellent day out!
Our guide, Angela, was excellent - a fellow tour member described her as a “font of knowledge”. The tour was well organised and very enjoyable. The most challenging aspect was finding the shuttle from the cruise ship to the coach park but the port staff were very helpful. Some of the other tour members were a bit delayed and this meant our arrival back to our ship was also delayed but we were still back in good time before sailing away! I would definitely use Venture Ashore again.

Whale Watching in Reykjavik
We did the Whale Watching Trip in Reykjavik, booked via Venture Ashore, which was very good and we saw a lot of whales, or may be it was the same one several times! The boat was called Andrea and the crew were helpful and the person doing the commentary was good and appeared to be very knowledgeable about whales. The on board cafe bar was good (hot chocolate about £2) and takes UK credit cards. The mini bus picked us up from the ship on time and took us back to the ship at the end. We all really enjoyed the trip.

Thank you once again for taking the time to review this, we really appreciate this. We are looking forward to seeing you again very soon.

Excellent. The guide was very informative. It was well organised. The pick up point was easy to get to. The driver even dropped us back directly to the ship. Would recommend. Dean and Jayne.

REFUSING TO REFUND
Poor customer service, not reliable. We are asking for a refund for an excursion that venture ashore did not collect us but they do not accept their responsibility. They keep blaming us for not being there. DO NOT USE THEM.
Response from Venture AshoreAug 21, 2024
Hi Faran, thank you once again for your review, as explained, our guide was at the port from 8am until 8:50am, we had to depart because other guests were waiting, we tried to call you and we left a voicemail, but the tour had to depart. I do apologise you are not happy with our response, we do not like to hear of our customers upset and we try everything we can to resolve the situation.
