What are people saying about Tampa

01geek, Oct 2026

Excellent tour in our own backyard.

I learned alot about Tampa within the short amount of time. I didnt know there was a cemetery right in the downtown area so close to business's. The stories and history are very interesting about the area. I had Sean as my guide and he was very knowledgeable about the history of the buildings we visited. His background and what he does for a living made his passion for being a guide evident. I highly recommend the ghost tour even if you are a local. Its a great way to spend time walking around downtown Tampa. Several places I will return to since learning about them through this tour.

Well worth the time to enjoy your Wine.

I like that it was private and was able to take my time and enjoy the wines with my daughter. Zoe, was very knowledgable about the wines and the regions that they came from. I was impressed and the whole experince was wonderful. If you want a more personal time, I suggest to do it on a Tuesday, it no crowd it just need to sit back and enjoy the experince. I give it a 10 out of 10 rating.

Small Group Tampa Sightseeing City Bus Tour

Marshall_I, Oct 2026

Best Tour Ever!!

We take tours wherever we travel. This was-hands down-the best tour we've ever taken! Booking with Viator was smooth as always. We were given all of the information we needed about the pickup point and parking. The only slight hiccup was that the hotel valets seemed to not be aware of the special parking rate initially--but we got it worked out. The bus arrived 15 minutes early. We were pleasantly greeted by Jamal, our driver (who is also the owner). Jamal was very personable and made us feel instantly comfortable. He even gave us tips on where best to sit on the bus to maximize photo opportunities. After everyone arrived, Jamal gave us a synopsis of the tour with just enough mystery to intensify our interest. The tour was EXCELLENT!! The most comprehensive, detailed, and informative tour we've ever been on!! Jamal was an absolute wealth of information. He constantly pointed out landmarks, gave out information, and told great stories! He took us to areas of historical importance that we probably wouldnt have seen on other tours. We were so impressed with the amount of knowledge Jamal possessed. There was no question he couldn't answer. We made several stops along the way as well, giving us opportunities to take photos, get ice cream (which he even gave us buy-one-get-one-free wristbands for!), and get food (at an incredible food hall!). The tour lasted almost 3 hours. For the price, it was an INCREDIBLE value! We couldn't have asked for a better guide or a better tour! We HIGHLY recommend this tour! You will be happy you did!!

Ammmmaaaaaaazzzingly FUN!

Kevin was our instructor. I’m the grandmother and I had taken my eight year-old granddaughter and put in words that her words as we were driving away. She said you know I really like Kevin he’s made me feel comfortable and at ease and he doesn’t talk down to us like I’m just a kid. Exceptional event! From the moment we entered the building to each and every staff member encounter —EXCEPTIONAL!! As a previous trainer for sales and customer service I’d given Kevin a pay raise ! Excellent !!

No booze tiki bar cruise (but it’s okay 😁)

Read the fine print…there is no booze on this tiki bar cruise, BUT the operator (Bob) is amazing and has ice coolers ready for any libations. The cruise itself is scenic and relaxing, with gorgeous views of Tampa’s riverwalk and developing metropolitan.

Interesting Stories and Interactive Ghost Tour

An interesting walking tour through downtown Tampa! We started and ended at the Tampa Theater on a beautiful evening. Our tour guide, Evan, shared stories of some of the founders, mobsters, and other historical people whose ghosts still haunt the city. We went to the cemetery and used the EMF "ghost-trackers". It was a fun tour!

Amazing tour of Ybor

Amazing tour—our guide Charlie truly made history come alive with the way he told the stories. It was so interesting to see Ybor City showcased in a way that highlights its incredible history. I live in Tampa, and this was my second time taking the tour, which says a lot. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone—whether you’re a local or just visiting.

Great Tour, Great Guide!

We did the Tampa tour with Andrew and had such a great experience! He took us through several different neighborhoods and shared so much history about the city along the way. Andrew was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and easy to talk to, which made the tour even more enjoyable. The length of the tour was just right, and it was absolutely worth the money. We learned a lot and really appreciated getting to see the different sides of Tampa all in one experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting!
