Creator's Key Takeaways

I had a lovely time.

They're often going to have the cheapest prices. I know they're going to sell much cheaper than the cruise lines are selling you for.

They are going to get you back to the ship on time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book independent shore excursions with Shore Excursions Group for cheaper prices and smaller groups.
βœ“Use the meeting point for tours, not the ship-sponsored tours sign.
βœ“Visit the fort for great cruise ship photos and views.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Missing the tour meeting point β€” Keep walking through the shops and restaurants; the meeting point is further along.
Getting back to the ship on time with an independent excursion β€” Independent tour operators have a lot riding on the experience and will get you back on time.
