What people are saying about Fort Lauderdale, Florida

We celebrated a birthday and so did the other party we shared the party bike with. Michelle was our guide & made a good time great! She is a lot of fun & made this event more fun than we anticipated. Be aware that you must have people in your party fill up all the seats with pedals before the non-pedaling seats because this bike operates on the pedal power only. We had a blast & thank you for making our daughter’s birthdays so special.

Flamingo Gardens is truly beautiful and handicapped accessable! My husband and I spent several hours there and really appreciated May's help picking out a local restaurant to continue the wonderful experience over a late lunch! Thank you so much May!

It was a lot of fun and we got to see great views and learn interesting facts about the area. I think Shantelle was our guide? Her name definitely begins with "S." She was great.

this is my 2nd ride in 4 months. i enjoyed both and gets better based on the diversity of the guide.

Beautiful gardens and great tram ride. Loved all the free peacocks roaming about.
