Must do in Great Cypress National Preserve

Syed_N, Dec 2024
Great Tour. Well planned and very interesting. Two suggestions for improvement. Would be helpful if your instructions included a preparation section. For example, that shoes to go into wet areas would be needed for the Gator hook trail.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Syed, I’m glad you enjoyed my Big Cypress National Preserve Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour! It’s great to hear you found it well-planned and interesting. I appreciate your suggestion about adding preparation tips for trails like Gator Hook—I'll consider it for future updates. For more Sunshine State adventures, check out my Ultimate Florida Bundle. Explore the Keys, the Everglades, and even Miami, all at your own pace with self-guided tours. Happy travels!

Don’t do it.

Nothing this was baloney and I would have preferred to get my money back. All we did was drive a crappy road that was so potholed I had to drive fast to get through it. Horrible. Avoid this tour at all costs. Would really like my money back.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Tina, I'm sorry that my Big Cypress Audio Tour didn't meet your expectations and that the road conditions negatively impacted your experience. I'd like to understand more about your experience, so it would be beneficial if you could reach out to us through the app. Your purchase is indefinitely valid, so you can revisit the tour or listen to the stories more conveniently. However, if you're seeking a refund, please request one, and we will make sure it's handled for you.
