Astrid our guide was great, so personalble and knowlegable about the animals and plantlife. We spent the afternoon together and she took LOT's of photo's! This was the highlite of our trip and will have treasured memories to look back on! We finally saw Manatee's, many wild birds, some very rare. Alligators gallore, but very doucile and beautiful, that picture of the 14' one will go on our wall. We have stories to tell our friends and family and highly recommend this tour. Astrid you rock! Did I mention the turtles?
