Customer service was answered by a very rude man and the boat wasn’t there at time of departure and waited for others to show about 20 some minutes after that. Larry was rude and uninteresting! Even though we left 20 to 25 minutes late, we still got back on original schedule. Boring and the fumes on this boat gave us a headache and the noise made it so hard to here him. Was a waste of time.

In the past week we only left late once 7 min (according to the ships log) . We ask all guests if they can hear us so we adjust the volume. We also tell our guest to ask whatever subjects about Tampa they want to know as we have 5 hours of information to share and we will answer any questions you ask so that all guests find out what they want to know. If you TRULY had an issue you should call our office and they would be glad to address and issues you have. Or maybe this was the wrong subject of our tours for your liking. Most guest thank us when leaving the tour saying it was the best tour they had ever been on. (and they reflect that with there tips)

First of all, the meeting place is a trick to find and the customer service person was RUDE as heck. Once we arrived, the boat was not there!!! I called Mr. Wonderful and he said I will be there soon!! Finally he got to the docking area and we got on only to find a lady coming and said it was so hard to find and the rest of the group was coming!! Mr. Wonderful (Larry) said to her he’d wait - now 20 minutes later we left. The boat engine about knocked me out with the fumes and Mr. Wonderful was not talking loud enough for us to hear him. The history tour was seriously not worth taking. He hardly talked and asked us if we all had questions, but he was not interesting - why bother!!! Believe or not, we left 20 minutes late and arrived at the same time originally given to us!!!! No way I’d recommend this tour to anybody. Just stand over a bridge and look down the river and you’d about see what we did and that would be free!!!

You have not been on one of our tours. our guides leave little time without talking about the wonderful city of Tampa. You are taken to places in the city that cannot be seen from bridges.

I am sorry for your experience. When weather issues arrive quickly in Tampa we do our best to inform guests quickly. Many of the companies we receive bookings from use a relay system for us to communicate with guests. We need to email them and then they forward to you the guests as they do no give us contact information to contact you directly. Unfortunately some take over 4 hours to forward the message. Leaving you to travel for nothing. I agree it is bad, And I would not be happy..
