Creator's Key Takeaways

I was looking to see what I had booked because one of the things that Rquel did on this on when she did this itinerary before was a tour called the called Thessaloniki foot food by foot tour.

Book your cruise excursions early because I might be missing it.

It usually works out cheaper to book shore excursions in advance rather than during your cruise.

When long distances and lengthy transit times are involved, it's advisable to book through the cruise line who offer a cast iron guarantee that the ship will wait if your tour is getting back late.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book your cruise excursions early to avoid disappointment.
✓Book shore excursions in advance to save money, as some lines offer discounts for multiple bookings.
✓Choose the least stressful excursion, especially for ports with long distances or transit times.
✓Consider hop-on-hop-off bus tours for independent exploration and transportation.
✓Read all excursion descriptions fully to understand port times and tender situations.
