5.00I recommend. The captain was friendly and really provided a ton of interesting info on the downtown area . The boat ride was enjoyable and just the right length for a good taste of the city from water view. Do it !

5.00Mark is spectacular—he brings history to life with a comedic flair that makes for an unforgettable time on the water. You’ll hear fascinating stories about Tampa’s foundations through the decades while enjoying the same elite views as the city's mega-wealthy.
Slightly misleading

3.00It’s mislabeled. Not enough celebrity homes, was more of an architectural tour. Very nice history of Tampa and its river front

1.00We went to TB to see a game and told 2 things we should do, Golf Cart Tour and Boat Tour if Celeb Homes. The Golf Cart gets 5 stars because although we were the only ones, Stacey still took us on the tour and it was great. Unfortunately this boat tour was cancelled. My uneducated option is that we may have been the only ones booked and it was cancelled. I received a message from someone that said they had a family emergency to attend to the following day. Wondering why there is just one person qualified to run the tours. Appears no other part of Tampa Water Taxi was affected by this. Could not assign one person to do the tour? It just doesn’t smell right. I would not give a nickel to this company that had no problems with the Hop On/Off or the Dolphin Tour. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
Perfect Tampa experience!

5.00This boat tour was truly amazing, and our guide made it even better! He shared so many interesting facts about Tampa, and we learned a lot while enjoying the beautiful views. November was the perfect time to go – great weather and not too crowded. We would definitely recommend it!
Fun Trip
