Highly recommended: this is a very well thought out tour, and Erin our guide gave us so much good information and interesting stories as we drove from place to place. Seeing the wildlife and birds was as good as I'd hoped, and the lunch was very good. The manatees were there for us the day we went which was a special treat. Thanks to all who helped make it a wonderful day out for us.

Very good tour. Everglade boat ride could have been a little better as far as seeing wildlife. But over all was a very nice day long trip. The lunch that was provided was very good with a large portion. Would advise everyone to take the tour.

Julio served as our guide and driver. As we entered the Everglades he talked about its history and pointed out many birds and other wildlife. Our bird species count was 20 for the day. The highlight of the trip was the Air Boat trip into the Everglades where we saw more birds and a number of alligators as well as the vegetation that grows there. We also had another boat ride around the 10,000 Islands' area where we learned about the mangrove created islands and had some dolphins follow out boat. There were two stops at National Forest preserves, specifically the Everglades center and the Big Cedar center. The trip was worth every penny and we learned and saw much more than if we had tried to tour on our own.
