They should know that the driver and tour guide is well versed on the history and the amenities of this city. Additionally, he shows a genuine love for this city that he exudes in every descriptive phrase he uses to talk about the many neighborhoods and highlights on the tour. He's a delightful person with an easygoing and folksy way of speaking that's neither boring nor rushed. It was really a great time spent with him as we became acquainted with the city.
We really enjoyed our tour today!
Our driver/guide was excellent! He’s very knowledgeable, kind, fun and courteous.
You won’t be disappointed!
This was one of the best tours we went one. The tour group was engaging, professional and knowledgeable. Grade A+
Very informative driver. Very courteous. Hit the highlights. Made recommendations for sightseeing and dining. Only complaint is could allow a little more time at stops otherwise would be 5 star
Very knowledgeable tour guide. Pointed out all historical facts. Guide was friendly and interjected humor to his presentation.
It is very informative and fun. Jamal our guide, was great. He knew so much about Tampa and made it fun. Very professional and friendly.
Jamal really knew the city and his presentation made us want to return for another visit. Maybe when it’s a tad less rainy.
Expect to be amazed and astonished with the amount of knowledge and history of the Tampa area. I was really surprised with the size of the city and all of the attractions there.
Great experience Jamal as absolutely amazing!! Great tour, great person, and great time!! I recommend this tour for anyone coming to Tampa!!
Hands down the very best tour I’ve ever taken! Jamal was personable, informative, and thorough in covering the landmarks, culture, art, history, characters, heros and villains, and food scene of Tampa. Air conditioned van made it extremely comfortable. Just the right number of stops. Helped us decide where to visit during the rest of our time in the area!
Jamal was an outstanding tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, and his engaging personality made for an excellent tour of Tampa.
Jamal was AWESOME! Competent, knowledgeable, on time, professional, courteous. Transportation was comfortable and clean. M. Estrada. 7/2026

Excellent tour…guide was very informative. Enjoyed the historical aspect of the tour. Wish we could’ve spent a little more time at the places.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
We are so excited that you had a great tour! We definitely try to give a comprehensive overview of Tampa that way you can stop back into your favorite places during the rest of your stay! Hope you were able to check out those stops more after your tour.
Fun and educational. Highly recommend for anyone coming to Tampa for the first time. Appreciated the air conditioning van.

Hi Lakethia...sounds like you all really enjoyed your time spent on the Minibus. Thank you for choosing Tampa Minibus!
I highly recommend this tour company!! Jamal is a great tour guide! He kept our attention the entire time!! We had fun and it was educational! We went to different parts of Tampa including the ones outside of the main tourist area!! We also spotted celebrities on our tour at Armaturo works. My family and I had a blast!!
Jamal was knowledgeable and made this experience fun and memorable. The bus was comfortable and we enjoyed lots of snacks at the stops along the way. Highly recommend!!!
Jamal was absolutely fantastic—friendly, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable! I was the only person on the tour, so it felt like I had my own personal guide (or a family member showing me around!). If you're thinking about taking this tour, don't hesitate—you won't regret it!
Jamal is an amazing tour guide and photographer!! The tour was exactly as advertised and more. 10/10 minus nothing. Beautiful tour of Tampa, got great ice cream from Jenni’s ice cream too. Thank you
The route gave an excellent overview of Tampa and the stops were well timed. Jamal gave us great tips for restaurants, things to do, cigar bars, sights, etc. He was very knowledgeable about the history and culture. We enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it
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.
I highly recommend this tour.
I had a very good time. Our host Jamal was very lively, very knowledgeable about Tampa and patient with the group. The tour itinerary was very good and the stops were very tourist friendly. Good food, art and wine was shared throughout the tour.
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.
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!
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!!!!
This was my first time to Tampa and I found the tour to be a great way to see the city our guide was very knowledgeable and answered questions . I highly recommend this tour.
Excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable tour guide. The tour includes 4 stops allowing visitors to get out and enjoy some of the sights. The mini-bus was very comfortable. I can highly recommend this tour.
Great little tour of city, filled with fun facts. Guide was very friendly and accommodating. Minibus was roomy and immaculate. Helped us decide what parts of the city we wanted to explore on our own.
Fantastic tour by Jamal! He definitely knows the Tampa history and is excited to share his knowledge with his guests.
