This was a very informative tour, on a clean bus. Jamal was courteous, funny, and professional.
We stopped at various key points in the city. We were able to sample some food, take pictures, and enjoy the scenery.

See Tampa from the comfort of a air conditioned bus! Jamal was amazing and the tour wasn't rushed. You'll hit all & everything no matter how long it takes and can decide what areas to explore more. So make this your first thing to do.
PHILIP_D, Apr 2026
Billed as a 1.5 hour tour but all on the tour agreed to extend it to 2.5 hours. Wonderful, learning experience about the history of Tampa.

The tour is on a 12 seater minibus. Jamaica, our guide and driver was great! Really good knowledge of Tampa, with good information and anecdotes about the city. I'd definitely recommend this tour!
Denise_H, Apr 2026
This was an excellent tour; small and personal! Jamal was a fantastic tour guide and was so sweet and patient with my 91 year old mom, helping her on and off the bus! I highly recommend this tour. We drive by the golf cart tours and I was so happy we chose the small group tour - comfortable and climate controlled and just enough of on and off stops. Made me a Tampa fan!!!!

Amazing job! Jamal was a fantastic tour guide. We came to Tampa to celebrate my mom’s birthday with 10 family members, and he made the experience truly memorable. He was incredibly accommodating and able to arrange a private tour for our group of 12. Jamal was very knowledgeable about the city and shared so many great insights along the way.
This tour had such a positive impact on our time in Tampa, we only wish we had done it earlier in the trip instead of making it our last event! Thank you, Jamal!
