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!

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.

Was really looking forward to this however the parking, ongoing road work and a hockey game left downtown really confusing. We went to both locations that were stated as parking and had no luck. Unfortunately, we never made it to the cruise. Very disappointing.

The guide was very knowledgeable and made it quite enjoyable. Parking was difficult, but that isn’t their fault. Arrive early enough to find parking. Highly recommended!

It was a history tour but all the fun facts about Tampa’s history that was told up to and including COVID with the cruise ship leaving behind us made it better than expected.

Captain Larry was knowledgeable and funny. However it would have been better if there was ice on the water in the cooler. It would also be nice to have better information about site for boarding. At least a sign to let you know.
