I was rushed on the Big Bus Tour by the lady worker trying to fill the bus. I explained I was there for a 1230 bus tour but it’s 1130. She told us hurry up take this bus. We was wondering when would we hear about the tour. She never explained to grab the headphones I just so happened to speak to the driver to ask where are we going and what is the tour about? He looked disappointed that the lady didn’t give us a map either. So we have to take the tour twice because we was sent back to where we started when we got off already at the cruise site. So aggravating. There entire staff seemed frustrated that day

Totally enjoyed our airboat ride. Our guide was very informative and we got to see an alligator up close. We also got to touch a baby alligator and the handler was so nice to all the children who were waiting for their turn. All around was a great experience.

It was great and informative, our Tour Guide was Disco he was awesome‼️‼️‼️ Also try the Alligator Bites at the food van
