Gloria D Posted November 15, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2022 My friend and I are cruising from Buenos Aires on Feb 3 with the Celebrity Infinity. Has anyone booked excursions other than Celebrity? I’m looking for suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted November 15, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 15, 2022 We did private excursions in most ports. If you are going to Ushuaia I would recommend Pira Tours. They offer a excursion to the penguin rookery where you can get up close to the penguins. The number of people who can go to the rookery is very limited and a great experience. I don't have the names of the other tour operators but you may want to check the Ports of Call forum where you likely can find other recommendations for tours. It is a great cruise; I hope the weather cooperates and you are able to make every port. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted November 15, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 15, 2022 You might get more response and possibly find others with open slots by joining the roll call for you cruises. You can then discuss with other. I've always founds someone offering slots in private tours they have booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted November 16, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 16, 2022 To find your fellow cruisers to share tours, look at your roll call. For tour ideas, check out the ports of call boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted November 16, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 16, 2022 We haven't been to Antarctica since 2015 but we also used Pira Tours out of Ushuaia. Since we were on a B2B2B we actually used Pira Tours twice and visited Harberton Estancia twice. In the Falklands we used Patrick Watts. While I know this is not a popular statement, but we found the trip to Harberton Estancia to be a better penguin experience than the trip to Volunteer Point with Patrick Watts. In other ports we used a company named something along the lines of Southernexcursions; they offered tours in more than one port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
