What travelers are saying about our escorted cruise excursions

Worry free cruise shore excursions

My friend and I used Shore Excursions Asia for a 12 night cruise around Japan and they helped us with every port. We worked with Felix Tran and from the start he could not have been more helpful. He patiently answered all of my many emails and helped create a terrific itinerary in each city.

The guides were knowledgeable and shared "their Japan" along with details about each place we visited. The cars/vans were clean and comfortable, and drivers were exceptional - polite and safe.

The Best of Aomori Tour

Felix set up an Aomori Tour for us. We enjoyed it very much. Mr. Nagasawa Atsushi was an excellent guide and was very knowledgeable and we covered a lot of history through out the day. The shore excursion was very prompt and i felt we learned a lot.

A great alternative for customized shore excursions.

We used this company for excursions off our cruise n Japan. It was the only company I found that was willing to pick us up and drop us off at the pier. We are a family of 8 ranging it in age from 7-77. I worked with Felix online. He tailored 4 tours at 4 ports, to my requests, sometimes making excellent suggestions.

Felix was always timely in his responses, flexible when I made a last minute change, and an excellent communicator. It was a pleasure dealing with him. I would definitely recommend using this company for shore excursions.

Great experience & tour

I booked a tour/transfer pick up from our ship in Kobe, Japan to Osaka airport (KIX) for our group of 14 people. We wanted to tour Osaka on the way to the airport. I worked with Sammy who is excellent person to work with! She sent me a quote right away, she answered all my questions right away, she was always on top of everything, great communication.

We had a nice, comfortable transfer bus, very helpful driver and a fantastic guide. Everything was done in a timely manner.

Amazing Service and Flexibility

The booking process was easy and Felix was very informative and kept the communication going right up until the morning of our excursion. Our guide for the excursion was exceptional, we had a lovely young lady and she couldn’t have done more for us. The transport was first class and would definitely recommended this company to anyone.

An excellent source for great excursions!!!

We went on a cruise to Japan with 16 family members. We were looking for shore excursions not related to the cruise ship and found Shore Excursions Asia online. We booked excursions in Hiroshima and Busan, South Korea. We worked with Felix Tran, a sales executive and he arranged these amazing tours for us. He was so great to work with.

Our English speaking tour guides in both ports were informative and made the experience very memorable. I would highly recommend Shore Excursions Asia for anyone looking for a great adventure.
