Above and beyond!
July 03, 2017
This was an excellent excursion, which really did go above and beyond - the clouds, that is! Our bus driver was trustworthy, friendly, entertaining and knowledgeable. The tour took us into beautiful alpine areas and we were able to see more and go further than if we had chosen the train tour. I would definitely recommend this excursion to others!

Great but watch for weather
July 03, 2017
We were SO looking forward to the helicopter glacier excursion and dog sled experience. When we got there we found that due to inclement weather, we could only do the helicopter glacier portion, which was wonderful. View on the ride was amazing as was walking on the glacier itself. Too much fog and rain to safely take on the sledding. Apparently this happens quite often according to staff we spoke with at the helicopter airfield. Just don't get your heart set on this as Mother Nature plays a role. Great staff and experience overall!

Saw my first whale!
July 03, 2017
Technically I've seen whales in the wild before...where people point in the distance and say "see the ripple and little black spot"...well this was nothing like that. I saw a whale up close and personal. The classic tale picture but even coming up and getting krill. I enjoyed this cruise as it was much smaller than other boats that were going out...but still very stable. I often get sea sick on small boats but didn't have any issues.

Whale Watching/Salmon Bake Combo
July 01, 2017
We had a wonderful time on our excursion. Our group of 10 saw many, many whales. Tails, breaching and bubble feeding were observed to our delight. Our captain and first mate were both fun and informative. After our whale watching, we were picked up and taken to the Gold Creek Salmon Bake. The food was plentiful and very good. Our grandchildren especially enjoyed roasting marshmallows while we were there. The tour left from the Mt. Roberts Tramway and it was an easy 5 minute walk from our cruise ship. A fun time was had by all!!!!

Outstanding!!!

Captain. Dan was wonderful as he narrated and educated us on whales. We constantly saw whales eating, swimming, and breaching throughout the day. The boat was comfortable and the group was small. This trip surpassed our expectations.

This glacier hike was remarkable.
July 01, 2017
Our guides were wonderful. We were looking for an excursion that was rigorous and this one met the bill. From the moment the guides picked us up they were fun, informative, and always safety conscious. We saw beautiful sights, walked thru icecaves, walked on the glacier and into crevasses. This activity surpassed our expectations. I would highly recommend it.

Excellent tour and tour guide

I wish I could remember our tour guide's name but he was very good and very knowledgeable. The tour was very informative. Great locations along the way. We really enjoyed the stop for the honey fritters and iced coffee. Plenty of great scenery for photos.

2 day St. Petersburg Tour
July 01, 2017
Excellent guide and driver. Van was a little old and could have used a step stool to assist elderly travelers up to and off van. Also guide could have asked if travelers had any preferences as to parts of Hermitage to visit. We wanted to see the "Impressionists" collection but there was no time allowed.

THE BEAUTY OF BARCELONA & MONTSERRAT
July 01, 2017
Our tour guide Marta was incredibly professional and well versed in Spain's history and current political and economic issues. Although of Spanish heritage Marta spoke impeccable english! On the van ride up to Montserrat Monastery she explained in great detail what we were going to see and experience. Montserrat exceeded our expectations and I left longing to spend time their some day! Her knowledge of Antonio Gaudi's Guell Park project and Sagrada Familia church was astounding! She answered all our questions and instilled in us an enthusiasm and appreciation of Gaudi's unique perspective and designs. My husband and I also purchased an audio tour of the interior of the church and we were so grateful that we did! I loved Barcelona and hope to return in the near future, and we will make certain to purchase a tour again from your company.

Good tour. A lot of walking.
July 01, 2017
Our tour guide was very pleasant. I can't remember her name. She was very knowledgeable, personable and answered all of our questions. I will say it is a lot of walking, so be prepared. At one point we must have walked 2 miles between one sight and the next. The weather was quite warm that day too. Walking through Naples is probably the best way to see it though. The tour of the underground was probably our favorite stop other than lunch. We followed our guide to a great restaurant for lunch. The other members of the group skipped out of the tour towards the end. They missed out on some great food and friendly service. Our guide joined our family for lunch and we had a wonderful conversation and learned a lot about the food and area. Afterwards she pointed us in the direction of the shopping area where we spent the remainder of our time before returning to our ship.

Grand Caymen Far Side Tour
June 30, 2017
8-10 of us boarded the van and headed off to see things that the average cruiser does not see. It was great to see real life on the island. Wish that the tour company had provided water for us. When we got to our lunch/beach stop at Rum Point we were distressed to find that the town had shut the electric power off so that they could do upgrades. That meant that the restrooms were locked and food was not available.Eventually things were up and running. We could pay for our food with US dollars but change was in local currency only. Sooo,what do they do with the US $??? The beach and water were BEAUTIFUL. The tour also included a water taxi ride. Saw big iguanas in the mangroves! Very nice tour.

Mayan Experience
June 30, 2017
Can't say enough good things about this tour. The visit to the ruins was very good but the highlight was the trip to the Mayan village where the local women prepared a Mayan lunch for us. We made our own small tortillas and the women cooked them on an open fire. They were served with outstanding Mayan Salsa. Lunch was chicken,rice,beans,veggies,fruit and flan. The hibiscus tea was wonderful. It was great to see where the locals live. Quaint homes with interesting painted designs on them. Super excursion! You have got to take this tour!

Orca and Humpback Whales
June 30, 2017
We had a fabulous time. We had a morning excursion and we had a wonderful time. The scenery alone would have been worth the money. We got to see a Pod of ORCA with a baby!!! We stayed a safe (for the orca) distance away and followed them for a good 20 minutes. The male was huge. We then saw a Humpback and after he dove dive we went to visit the seals. My girls went inside to drink hot coco when the chill became to much (we are from Florida). The staff was wonderful! The boat was fabulous and the knowledgeable. Thank you for a wonderful and lifetime experience

Lifetime Memory
June 30, 2017
Staff was wonderful. Helicopter ride was smother then plane takeoffs. My husband who tells me he does not fear heights that he just has "healthy respect for heights" and was not really excited about booking the excursion declared it a Lifetime Memory and worth every penny. The visual tour would have been worth the money, the opportunity to land and walk on the glacier was a lifetime experience. My daughters 7 and 9 were totally jazzed. Though my youngest drove everyone nuts trying to get a close as possible to the crevices because she wanted to see how deep a crevice 100's feet deep is. We had to keep a tight grip on her. We went in May and for Floridians it was cold. So gloves coat and thick pants.

Una excursión muy buena. El personal fué muy amigable, profesional y muy organizado. El chofer y el guia muy conocedor y amigable. Las ruinas es un lugar bellísimo, en verano les recomiendo llevar ropa muy cómoda yprotector solar, el sol y la calor es muy fuerte pero valió la pena porque es un lugar maravilloso. El guía tuvo disponible agua fría todo el tiempo. La playa a la que nos llevaron es hermosa, agua cristalina y arena blanca. El lugar muy bonito y buenas facilidades, sillas de playa, hamacas, bohios con sillas para comer, ofrecían masajes en la misma playa, muchos vendedores de prendas y souvenirs, muy respetuosos y amigables. La comida que ya estaba incluída tacos o quesadillas, simple pero raciones abundantes y muy rica. Incluye 2 bebidas de elección por persona. También te ofrecen menú con otros platos y aperitivos por costo adicional. Les recomiendo probar las empanadas de pollo son sabrosas. Una excursión muy buena, lo pasamos de maravilla, se las recomiendo 100%.

Excellent...Worth the Money
June 30, 2017
We had an excellent walking tour with the guide Frederica. She was so knowledgeable about Venice and St. Mark's. We were able to skip the line to enter St. Mark's. I am not someone who normally enjoys tours of churches, temples etc., as I have seen so many, but her explanation and intimate knowledge of St. Mark's made the entire tour worthwhile. She also provided a lot of information on local life in Venice, its culture, the people and we strolled down some back neighborhood streets.

Best. Tour. Ever
June 30, 2017
Do this tour! We had an excellent guide, Manola, who made this tour fun, interactive and enjoyable. We were two people who were put into a group of ten. We went to 5 different taverns where we had a glass of wine and something light to eat. All the taverns were locally owned and "off the beaten path." The wine was quite good. We did a practice walk to the meeting point the morning of the tour as it is a little hard to find. We had to stop and ask along the way to make sure we were going in the right direction. We thought this was one of the highlights of our time in Venice. We met some really engaging people on the tour, learned a lot of local history and about day-to-day life, and got to experience some neighborhood taverns we would not likely have found on our own. Really fun!

Exciting excursion
June 30, 2017
I received a phone call on my cell phone the morning of the excursion from one of the guides informing me that the pickup would be at dockside rather than the rain gauge which was helpful since we were at the farthest dock from the gauge. We were split into 5 or 6 groups of 4 for the jeep part. We went as a convoy. I switched driving with the other male passenger. The roads off of the main road were quite rough. Driving with the four wheel drive was fun and the scenery was great. Canoes were large and could not be tipped according to guide. Canoe trip was across a lake. At the other side food was prepared which was quite good. Nature hike was easy and interesting.

This is my second tour with Beach Bums and I must say I had just as good of a time as I had on the first tour. The Electric Bikes are amazing. They allow you to pedal or not pedal through out the whole tour. If you can ride a bicycle you will love doing this.

Just as the title says, our tour guide, Dani, was the best!! She definitely made the most of our 9 hour tour through Rome and the Vatican. We saw the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Circus Maximus, The Pantheon, Vatican City, and St Peter's Cathedral. Its been months later and I still think about this day in particular the most. Amazing memories -- Book this tour!!
