The pirate cruise was excellent. Both the children and the adults alike had a blast! Crew members were very interactive, and accommodating. For the price, you can’t beat; transportation to and from Clearwater, a free meal at Crabby’s dockside (in which I would recommend that you eat there, even if the meal wasn’t free), free soda, beer, and wine. Brad the driver from Florida real guides was fantastic, attentive, and very accommodating. Brad explained everything, helped everyone check in, made rest stops, and represented Florida real guides professionally. As with anything you do in life, if you want to have fun, you will have fun…..so please participate…….arrgh!

We had a great time. We were picked up at the first stop (Royal Pacific) so unfortunately that meant an extra hour on the bus both ways. Other than that, the bus was comfortable and the driver and guide did a great job of getting us there. Ate at Crabby’s and it was amazing. Also did the dolphin sightseeing. Really enjoyed that but would probably skip it the next time as it did take two hours of our beach time. I was thinking it was only one. Already looking at dates to go back again. Thanks!

easy to use, just download the app, and pull up your city pass. if will hVe a barcode that each attraction will scan, that's it.

City Pass is PERFECT!!! Simply works. No waiting in ticket lines. Most economical way to visit multiple attractions.

Beautiful place, awesome experience, we booked with lunch and it was delicious , highly recommend this trip.
