So, this was a decent tour - good activities, serene nature sights, interesting fellow travelers. Our tour guide, Mark, was a nice, friendly and earnest guide...but, perhaps a bit too earnest and trying too too hard to keep us informed. He wouldn’t stop talking from the point we left until we returned. 1/2 of his information was useful and interesting facts, but the other 1/2 was platitudes. Bad jokes, and filler that bordered on drivel. It actually started to make the tour unbearable by the end. Because the other parts were quite interesting, fun, And relaxing, I think if all he did was trim his talk, the tour would be very very good.

What sets our tour apart from any other Everglades tour is that we have engaged, educated biologists and naturalists that conduct the tours. There are seven of us that conduct the tours and we are family. We love what we do and we have a lot to say about the natural and cultural history of the Everglades. Anyone can drive themselves to the Everglades but to have a guide informing you about what you are seeing and experiencing elevates the adventure. Marc is an amazing guide and one of the funniest people I know. To have a guide that is so well-versed in knowledge of the Everglades and to have the wit to amuse regarding any subject Everglades related is a true luxury. Bad jokes are not in his repertoire, but I suppose humor is subjective. I can accept criticism when it's warranted but I must admit this assessment seems pointendly hurtful. Thank you for your feedback. I stand by Marc.
