Names of Reputable Shore Excursion Companies

[Gigi49suzette]

Doing a Repositioning Cruise around mid September starting from South Hampton.  Looking for less expensive excursions than Princess offers, but have heard about terrible experiences from some people using independent excursion companies.  Would like to have names of Companies that people have had good luck with and are reliable.  Thank you for any suggestions you might have.

To help with your research for less expensive excursions, please click here https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/2-ports-of-call/ for the Ports Of Calls forums. That is where you will find reviews or recommendations of tour operators, guides, etc. in the various ports of call. 

 

Also, please note the following portion of the Guidelines we all agreed to follow when registering for our free Cruise Critic memberships:

 

... Browse Before You Post
Browse a topic first to see if your question has already been asked or answered by someone else. Also, many of the major cruise lines forums have a FAQ (Frequently Asked Question) topic that has been created by our members. Give that a try first. Browsing is your #1 best resource! Please post your messages in an appropriate topic so that you'll receive the best possible response. It is very time consuming to move misplaced messages that are in the wrong topics...

In addition to the important information that Kat provided to you above, please note that it's not only critical that you post questions in the proper forum, but also that you supply enough information so that people reading your questions might be able to answer them.  In this case, no one will know what your itinerary is -- what ports you are talking about.   You'll need to identify them, so that people can help you with recommendations for private tour operators in those ports.   It's also a good idea to do some research first in the appropriate Ports of Call forums, where you may well find the information you are looking for.    You can use the Search engine in the upper right of your screen.

 

Also, especially if you are looking for transportation, etc. to your embarkation city and doing any research, the name is Southampton.

 

Enjoy your cruise!
