I was an American history major and never was exposed to the history of Florida - the interactions between the Native Americans, Spanish, French, pirates and rogues. This tour opened my eyes and has sent me on a research hunt for more info. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, with very well researched information and a logical progression to his story and route. On top of it, he was humorous and engaging. The van was clean and on time.
