The tour operator, Sully, was very knowledgeable and provided personalized service. The tour offers a taste of a Cuban sandwich and before the tour started, he asked if anyone was a vegetarian, which I am. He ordered beans and rice for me in place of the sandwich, which was very thoughtful
Excellent tour! Lots of great historical information, fun facts and awesome views! Sully was great! Fun, personable and very knowledgeable. Would certainly do again!!
The tour and guide were informative, fun, and so engaging! Loved the history, food, and entire experience. Highly recommended.
This was a good tour, if you're early in your trip it's a good way to get the lay off the land. Sully was informative and engaging. I liked that he inserted Black history tidbits where applicable during the tour. The Cuban sample was good and decent size for a sample. Only thing is this is a tour that's constantly moving. If you want to get out and take pics at various spots, this tour isn't for that.
Sully was an amazing driver & tour guide. He knew Tampa history and gave us tips on some wonderful eatery spots along our route. The Ruben sandwich sample was delicious 😋
Silly is very pleasant. He makes you feel welcome as soon as you board. He is knowledgeable and LOVES Tampa. But he really a Bostonian that is transplanted. But he’s done his research and will show you a good time.
Awesome experience! You couldn't ask for a better tour guide than Sully. Very knowledgeable and pleasant to boot! A+
Had a fun morning exploring different parts of Tampa and picking up some local history along the way. Sully was very friendly and made the tour enjoyable. The trolley is open-air, so just be prepared for the heat. We stopped at The Flan Factory and the Cuban sandwich was delicious. A fun way to spend the morning.
We experienced truly terrible service! We booked a tour that was scheduled for 10:00 a.m. Unfortunately, the trolley just drove off when it saw us and didn’t pick us up. After waiting at the hotel where the tour started and calling customer service, we were told we would receive a callback. After waiting 30 minutes, we still hadn’t received a callback! I then called again and spoke with the AI—until, 35 minutes later, someone finally called me back and simply told me that we should have sent an email (which we had done) and hadn’t received a response—not even a phone call. The employee’s only solution was to send another email—even though we had already asked about the 3:00 PM tour earlier. We still haven’t received a response to that either The customer service representative didn’t make any effort at all to help us! I advise everyone against booking a tour like this with such poor customer service!
No better person to explore the city with than Sully. I enjoyed the taste testing of the Cuban Sandwich.
