What Clients Say About us

feedback asia shore day trip

Great Time in Naha, Japan!

Dear Shore Excursion Asia team,

We just had a great time in Naha, Japan, we are very happy with the experience. I found Asia Shore Excursions via Internet, and then I made decision to go with them. Thank you, Sandra, for being helpful all the time we need. She always replied to my questions in a fast, professional manner. Below is our feedback that we want to share with you.

Our guide, Kori, was a fantastic guide, spoken well and was full of information. The van was clean and our driver was always on time to pick us up. There is no time wasted. We would have loved to see more of Okinawa, but because of the cruise time we were limited, which was all what we regret about this trip.

Great Phuket Tour from Cruise Ship!

Dear People of Shore Excursions Asia,

We have never expected to see so many things just in one day like that. Thank you, Ms Sandra, for being helpful all the time we need, whatever we required, and below is our feedback, I want to share with you.

Our guide, Aniswan, is a great tour guide, she was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and very helpful with elderly & handicap. She tried to please everyone, for example some didn’t want spicy, some wanted no fish,.. but she worked hard to please everyone. The quality of vehicles provided were outstanding, just a tiny thing that the air-condition was a little bit warm. All of all, everything was exceeded our expectation!
