Ben was very knowledgeable and the trip was a lot of fun. We enjoyed all aspects as a good introduction to this part of the world. There was a lot of driving and sitting, but it was informative and fun.

Thank you for your feedback. Ben does a great job educating and entertain guests. The Everglades is a remote wilderness and it does take just over an hour to drive there from the Greater Fort Myers Area and once we are there we have the opportunity to enjoy the four main ecosystems of the world's only Everglades. Glad you had fun!

My wife and I had a great time on this tour. Lots to do and see on this very busy tour ... busy in that it includes a lot - a small boat ride, an air boat ride, a nature walk, lunch and the bus ride to the various tour locations. Despite having lots to do, it was at a very relaxed pace and we never felt rushed. Each portion of the tour was just as fun as the other and by the end of the day we had seen a lot of wildlife and got a real good background on the ecosystem in the Everglades. The time spent in the van was just as enjoyable thanks entirely to our tour guide Ben. His knowledge and stories of the Everglades made the time fly by. (In addition, being picked up from and returned to our hotel was super convenient). I highly recommend this tour.

It was so much fun: we saw a ton of wading birds and we went to 4 different places. We saw alligators with one just a few feet away.
