Best Value Shore Excursions was started nearly 10 years ago on the premise that nothing beats personalized service, experience, and attention to detail. While many Internet sites promise special deals, travelers are often unaware of restrictions, exceptions, and fine print. Making the right choices based on price alone is not always the best course of action for travelers. We hear too many stories of travelers regretting that they didn't call us first.

Ira recognized the need for experience agent's in the Internet age. While many agents succumb to the pressure of bargain Internet sites, Ira recognized the niche for knowledgeable experienced travel professionals. He knew that travelers would appreciate the values of a full-service Tour Guide. Many travelers learned that they actually saved money by seeking the help of an experienced tour professional. Ira wanted to highlight this fact and decided to call his agency, "Best Value".

Ira has spent nearly two decades in the industry. He has worked for major hotel chains and cruise lines as a marketing professional. He has also worked for many travel agencies over the years, but knew he could best serve travelers by creating an agency on his own terms. He was determined to prove that his agency could prove better service and value than any other means of travel planning. He was right. Best Value has received a Travelers Association Gold Star award seven times. Magazines and newspapers have profiled Best Value as the smart choice for demanding travelers. Ira is proud to be recognized as an industry leader.
