Skip Group Tours at Stops at the Port of Your Next Cruise
Cruise port excursions can be a great way to inspect each stop, but they can be expensive and come with all the hassle associated with other group tours . It might be tempting to get on the bus and ride together, but if you can visit the same place yourself, save money. That’s why.
Skipping group tours gives you more freedom to see the places you’re waiting for at your own pace. You will also spend less time traveling between the ship and the attractions, and you will not have to wait for everyone to board the bus before heading to your next destination.
While these group excursions may seem like a good deal, you can often save money by purchasing museum tickets online in advance (and you will avoid the often high cruise line markup). If you don’t want to miss the guided tour, download an audio or written guide, or even book your local guide.
