Traveler Reviews

Captain Larry made for an entertaining tour! We loved the tour, and would definitely do another. If you are hesitant based on a few subpar reviews, go. It was relaxing, informative, and entertaining.

Small boat really more a celebrity homes tour around the two islands in the bay. Captain was nice not horrible just not quite what I wanted.

What a fun tour! We learned a lot about Tampa's history - even after living here for 8 years. Phil was very knowledgeable and fun. He was also great helping our more mobility challenges family members get on the boat. Would definitely recommend it!

Overall knowledgable guide,tho rain cut the tour short..ok experience for first time in tampa..note water taxi stand#3 for reference

Thought boat would be enclosed. Got rained on most of the trip. Beverages were not offered. Sat at front of the boat, had to standup to see anything. I think it was difficult to get to the boat. Should have had bettr directions. Parking price was ridicule.
