“We literally paid for a boat ride, saw 4 birds and that was it. Absolutely no alligators!! The worst part is our guide didn’t even address the lack of alligators. Obviously, we know that he cannot control what the alligators do, but what upset us was that he didn’t even set expectations or address the issue!! But he made sure to request a tip. It was a complete waste of money and a total let down!”

“This segway tour was the ABSOLUTE BEST! Mike was our tour guide and he was absolutely amazing! He was very personable, yet professional. Our group consisted of four tourists who had NEVER ridden a Segway before (including my husband and myself). Mike took time with each one of us "individually" to train/teach us how to ride. He did not rush the process at all as he was prioritizing our safety first. (Side note: Mike's priorities made perfectly good sense because he's also a fireman.) He gained our trust through his training session in addition to the fact that he is highly qualified to help in the event something (or somebody)…”
