I didn't know this existed until this tour. It was quite an eye-opener as to how the other half (10%) lives. |

It was a great way to show friends from out of town the 'richer' side of Ft. Lauderdale...cruise was 1-1/2 hrs (which went fast).....-- the tour guide was very informative -- would definitely do it again... |

The best value for money Fort Lauderdale had to offer. Super tour of Fort Lauderdale's waterway. The staff were very helpful and very friendly. The captain entertained us with all the celebrity details of the city.
While we lunched on hot dogs and ice cream, we watched the multi million dollar mansions and yachts. We also enjoyed the drinks and were delighted to buy a photo so that we can remember the super day. Can't wait to return and do it again. |

Very informative and interesting. I've lived here for 25 years and I still can appreciate that area of Ft. Laud. Our friends are snowbirds and throughly enjoyed the cruise. They also learned alot about this area. I would definitely recommend it to others. |

Did not honor free drinks and $4 parking on websit

Too much focus (or entire focus) of the tour is materialist, and showing off how rich those people are, and how much wealth gap there is.
Not much mention on culture, scenery and history of the locality.
After a while, I just ignore turned off to what the captain is saying, and I don't want to leave this trip with my mind focusing on money alone, how much money i need to make, etc and feeling depressed.
Also the on their website it mentioned $4 all day parking but it was not honored.
I saw another place where it said there are free drinks if you purchase tickets online. It was not honored neither. |

Good to take out of town relatives

I live in Fort Lauderdale, but try and take visiting relatives on a boat tour whenever they first come visit. While the trip is a bit pricy, the snacks are WAY expensive, and the captain is about as cheesy as you can get, it's still a great time. The homes and waterways are beautiful, and if you get a moderately sunny day with a good breeze, you're golden. Everyone had a good time, and it let them see the city from a different angle. It's not an every day activity, but for special occasions and out of town visitors, I recommend the Venice of America Tour. |

It would have been nice to know when I made my reservations that Zerve was a fee-bsed vendor and not the tour operator. it was never made clear that there were other, cheaper ways to buy tickets for this excurson. |

Speaker on tour boat was knowledgable about the area. He seemed to dislike how the boats (yachts) are bought out of state and PAY NO SALES TAX!!! We were reminded of that over and over again during the tour. |

The vessel was not fancy, but very comfortable and clean. The narrator was cheerful, and funny,
Felt that the reservation process on line was a bit cumbersome--also, the on-line booking stated that there would be a free drink included in the tour, however, we did not receive any documentation to present to the staff on board. The staff person did however, honor our verbal representation on the free drink |

A great inner Coastal Cruise enjoyed by my entire family. Grandpa, GrandMa, Mom & Dad, 3 children age 9 to 20. All enjoyed the narrative provided by the Crew. Wonderful fun time that showed Florida Homes from the water and short stories of Ft. Lauderdale. A wonderful 2 hours spent on board that provided for a delightlful enjoyable afternoon |
