Our guide, Rick, was very well versed in the Everglades. But more important, he was able to explain complex phenomenon with ordinary language so that all could understand. We enjoyed the tour very much.

Super guide with experience, the swamp hike and the Air Boot Tour very good. On the last tour, the boatmaster was very tight-lipped

In general, it was a good trip. Unfortunately, it is not possible to click on it. I can recommend the guide. Criticism: We had a nice little group of 4 people. Unfortunately, the trip time is geared towards 10 people, i.e. we were through the "walk" and other things (too) quickly and the time had to be filled before the boat trip. The guide tried hard and did his job quite well, but it dragged on (too) long. With small groups, for example, the trip could start later or return earlier. This somewhat slow pace took away the "very good" rating from the whole thing. When asked, the guide himself said that he could not change that, the time was set. The boat trips were really very nice. The lunch was good: however, I thought that the description said "alligator meat", which could not be ordered. Overall, it was a nice day despite
