Booked a cruise and paid $30.77 for four people. Could not find the boat on Waze or Google maps. The directions were terrible. No real address was given. No phone number was provided for us to call and get directions. Extremely frustrating and stressful riding around trying to find the boat. Communications are terrible, lost $120+ Really a horrible experience dealing with these people.

Mark, our tour guide was very friendly and gave us a lot of cool facts about Tampa. He's very knowledgeable about Tampa's history. My family and I really enjoyed the boat cruise very relaxing and Mark gave us some good pointers about Tampa, since that was our first time in Tampa. We really enjoyed it! I definitely recommend if you want to know more history about Tampa and recommend the boat cruise we went on a Sunday afternoon and everything we experienced was beautiful on the water. Mark, took us all over the bay of Tampa and we even cruised the Tampa Riverwalk so beautiful. I loved Tampa definitely returning to this amazing city.
