Taylor was a great guide! She took our interests into account throughout the tour; she was very knowledgeable and shared great information about local wildlife and the area with us!
Additionally, she was very understanding when a multilingual member of our group was tough to understand and ensured that his question was answered!

Taylor was incredible! So nice and informative. She always tries to give private tours so she can specialize the trip to each groups needs/wants. I highly recommend this trip.

I will definitely recommend this when it comes down to Saint Pete. Taylor was very knowledgeable on the local area and the environment. We even had time to go swimming in the water and picking up seashells.

Taylor is a wonderful guide! She took her time and emphasized it was our tour, to let her what our preferences were! We saw lots of birds, fish jumping, 7 dolphins, two stingrays mating and went shelling on a beach! Will go again without question!
