Great experience! This is my first time doing this. Definitely recommend it for team building. I plan to return with my family.

Renee was outstanding and a great guide! Cosmic crisis was a great experience. Would definitely recommend this for your team building event.

The Florida Aquarium was a really enjoyable experience, especially if you’re looking for something both fun and educational while visiting Tampa.The exhibits are well laid out and easy to navigate. I appreciated how interactive everything felt without being overwhelming. There’s a great balance of marine life: from colorful reef fish to sharks and stingrays. The tanks are beautifully maintained. It’s the kind of place where you actually slow down and take your time, because there’s so much to look at.Inside, the signage was clear and informative, and I liked that there were plenty of educational moments that didn’t feel too dense. The flow from exhibit to exhibit felt intuitive, and even on a busy day, it never felt too crowded.Overall, it’s a great way to spend a few hours—especially during the warmer months when you’re looking for a cool, indoor option in the Florida heat!

Rain or shine, it was a great tour! The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Made a lot of great suggestions.

We had a blast. The weather was perfect as we had a two hour window of no rain and everyone else had canceled . . . Can you say private tour! Our guide, James Earle and driver Sully were amazing. James' knowledge of the Tampa area and history was very impressive. Sullys' ability to navigate the twists and turns of the tour route was first rate. We highly recommend this tour for those looking for a great time with great people. If any other tour guides read this . . . Study James and Sullys' methods and you too can have a great tour business as well.

We had such a good time. Going bar to bar on a golf cart in Tampa is the best. I would recommend it to anyone.

So much history and interesting information. Well presented. We will be back with family and friends. We loved listening to max.

It was fun and exciting. Only I wish it was longer. The Captain was very informative. We did see a dolphin!

I have traveled the world and often take guided tours - this tour was the best I have ever been on. Max - the guide - was knowledgeable (he grew up in Ybor), was animated, quick-witted, and knew the subject thoroughly. I highly recommend this tour. I learned so much more by taking the tour than I ever would have without Max.

A very unique and fun experience. Our Tiki bar captain was great! We highly recommend this tour and it is the third one we have taken at different locations.

Had a great time- we used Uber so didn’t have to find a parking spot. We checked out the area- plenty of shops and food options.

Absolutely phenomenal experience with Alexis on the Tampa Terrors Ghost Tour! From the moment we met her, Alexis brought an infectious energy that never let up. She was incredibly knowledgeable, weaving Tampa's haunted history with fascinating facts and captivating stories that kept us engaged the entire time. Her storytelling skills are top-notch—equal parts spooky, entertaining, and insightful. My wife and I had an amazing time and genuinely appreciated Alexis’s enthusiasm and deep understanding of the area’s haunted past. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tampa—especially if you're lucky enough to have Alexis as your guide!

I have been to many aquariums including Georgia Aquarium and the one in Tokyo. This is one is laid out very well and it appears they are expanding greatly and in the process of adding new exhibits. The staff was friendly and as engaging as you want them to be. I did not do any of the encounters because they were way too expensive compared to other aquariums I've been to - including Georgia Aquarium! I also don't like how expensive the admission is (but all of the parks in Tampa seem to be super expensive compared to other places I've been) and the parking is astronomical. At least if you park in the lot that says Florida Aquarium. It cost $25! I thought the garage nearby was $15, but navigating Tampa traffic is NO fun, and I didn't realize I had gone to the wrong parking area and didn't want to drive around looking to save a few bucks. The meals were reasonably priced, though. The hamburger was surprisingly delicious. I did the dolphin boat tour and that was wonderful. The tour guide did an excellent job. She was super helpful, friendly and enthusiastic. We also saw a few different dolphins (though nothing super crazy exciting happened). They try very hard to find them without being intrusive. I did the virtual reality experience, as well. It was kind of cool, but I would probably pass next time. It's $8 for about a 6 minute video. It's basically a documentary but you can look around and your seat moves to make it feel like you are on and in the water. You get to choose from several different movies. Overall I loved my day there and would definitely go back after they finish their expansions. I would recommend both the general admission and the dolphin boat tour.

This was a BLAST!! Our wonderful driver Michelle took us to the coolest bars! She was fun and knowledgeable. Would totally do it again!

You get 2 hours with the boat and you can go almost anywhere! You can take snacks and a cooler, too!

So much fun for a first time Tampa experience to sightsee a bit and it was pretty romantic, nice and cool, not too hot since the water splashing you
