Best-Kept Cruise Secret – Customized Private Shore Excursions

Cruising with thousands of people from various backgrounds is a wonderful experience. You meet interesting travelers and share stories along the way. However, taking the same shore excursion with hundreds of people in each port city perhaps does not suit every cruise passenger.

Where can you enjoy an alternative travel experience which does not require you to share it with busloads of other cruise passengers? The answer: through the local wisdom of your very own private tour guide.

A private tour guide enables you to experience their home city in a unique way. Tour guides can even create a customized shore excursion to your personal interests. One such company providing easy access to dependable tour guides in over 400 cities across 135 countries is www.ourexplorer.com .

Take your own full day private tour in Chile and get all the sights, travel Dublin with a common hop on – hop off bus tour with a singer and poet guide and experience more than your fellow passengers – from Luxor to Victoria - Anchorage to Cape Town, this is truly an interesting alternative to the usual offerings on board ship.

OurExplorer wwas established in 2008 with now professional guides in 135 countries worldwide. OurExplorer is the only website recommended to professional guides by WFTGA.org (World Federation of Tourist Guides Associations).

  1. From experience it does make a difference to the cruise on what your shore excursions are like. A good tour guide can make all the difference.

  2. With summer vacation almost here, I decided to start looking for a unique place to travel. Tired of the usual beach vacations, my husband and I decided that we would like to go somewhere new this year.

    Not wanting to get our passports renewed, we wanted to stay in the US. And so our search began. Limiting our search to something we have never done before, we decided that we wanted to go make the outdoors a focus on this trip. Not the usual outdoors buffs, with any hiking experience or anything under our belt, we decided that a nature cruise type vacation was just what we needed.

    We decided to go for – the Alaska cruise. I researched a ton of boat companies in Alaska and we were set.

    The company we chose is known for eco tourism, and after visiting, we know why. The scenery is stunning, and you will see a variety of wildlife, glaciers, and other things not found elsewhere in the US.

    For anyone wanting to vacation somewhere unique this year, I highly recommend an Alaskan cruise. You truly won't regret it.
