For our first morning in Tampa we took the Small Group City Bus Tour to orient ourselves to the city. We couldn't be more pleased. Our tour guide/owner was knowledgeable, personable and answered all of our dumb questions with grace and charm. We saw the Riverwalk, Ybor City, the Port, a cigar rolling store, the famous Tampa mural, Heights Public Market, The Jackson Rooming House and all points in-between. He explained the histories and back stories of the statues, buildings, murals, hotels, bridges, causeways, and more. If you park at the hotel, you get a discount at the restaurant which we used for breakfast. Highly recommended.
