This was, by far, the best tour we have ever done. Our guide A.J., quickly became our friend. He is highly educated, fun and goes above and beyond to provide a one of a kind experience.

There were just 3 of us plus Danny on the tour and it was our first time! Danny was awesome and amazing from start to finish in helping us learn the basics and showing us around. We went through the entire riverwalk and back with hardly any difficulty. The only thing I would say is definitely wear comfortable shoes because your feet will feel numb after a while due to the pressure. Besides that, we had such a great time and can’t wait to book again especially if Danny’s going to be there!! - Jenn, Tiff & Trish :)

We just enjoyed a lovely few hours with Ashley, learning the fascinating story behind this quaint, historic district. Ashley went way beyond bringing us to a representative sample of culinary highlights (all wonderful) from the four cultures Ybor was built upon, she wove in fascinating anecdotes about everything from local customs to founding figures. She was a pleasant, attentive guide. Highly recommended!

Could not find location very unprofessional business. Lost out on 60 dollars due to nobody answering phone to give use exact directions. 801 old street as address is not enough information to properly find location. Good note another company down the way by the water taxi and pirate ship ran by Dave was gladly and willing to let us join on his boat. Thank you Dave. FYI saw the boat we were suppose to go on in passing quite small and could get you sea sick if you can’t handle water.
