Nice Sights, poor tour operator
Thu, Dec 22, 11   3:00 PM ghozt911 Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
The route is beautiful, with wonderful sights of the extravagant homes and yachts along the gorgeous intercoastal waterway . The negative was the jaded tour operator who clearly was put off by the wealth of the people who owned the properties and yachts that he was pointing out. He constantly referred to Wayne Huizenga (owner of the Dolphins & Marlins, originator of Waste Mgmt Co.) as the garbage man, until of course on the return path whereby Wayne was actually sitting on his dock patio, and the operator says "Wave to Mr. Huizenga". He made disparaging remarks about several of the wealthy property owners, serving only to lessen the enjoyment of the trip.

It was a really nice evening trip to see the Christmas lites. The only draw back was a loud group that was on board who talked so loud you couldnt hear the Capt.

Had we known the water taxi was showing the same areas, houses, stories etc. we would not have spent the money on the Venice tour. However, the boat was great and comfortable b/c it was such a windy day. When we purchased the trip, it was advertising a free drink. However, they told us that they quit offering that several weeks ago.

We took my in-laws from out of town and we all enjoyed the trip. The commentary was informative and fun and the crew was extremely pleasant.

Perfectly paced calm tour of the local waterways and beautiful homes. Colorful tour guide with interesting points of interest and stories to go with them. Missed the complimentary drinks and libations included in July tour. Sunset was gorgeous from the boat.

A Fun and Interesting Boat Tour

We enjoyed this 1 hour and 15 minute tour of the inland waterways around Fort Lauderdale. We sat on the upper deck in the front row, so we had an excellent view of both sides of the waterways. The captain provides an informative narrative with a few jokes thrown in for good measure. You'll get to see many gorgeous homes owned by famous people. The boat was big and stable and reasonably comfortable. On the day I went on the tour, their credit card systems wasn't working, so I'm glad I bought my tickets in advance through the Internet.

My wife and I loved this cruise! Informative, funny, and a great way to spend part of a day in the sun. The crew was very courteous and helpful. The captain was great! He made the whole trip come alive. Thanks to everyone!

Great cruise and I highly recommend it, but they used to give out free liquor the entire cruise... now they don't, which is a mistake. Please bring the all-you-can-drink back!

Been enjoying your tours and commentary for 4 or 5 years. Anytime that family or friends come down t o visit, we bring then down to the RiverFront Cruise, It's fun for them and fun for us . The cruise 2 weeks ago was wonderful ,as most are - the cruise and commentary in Sept was just awful. We've taken this cruise enough that we now tell tourist around us what is not said - and this cruise was not up to your standards We are Mark Blonstein and Don Fairlcoth

Nice Tour

The "Speaker" was great! Very enthusiastic, funny, and educated on the homes we saw. It is very interesting to see all these beautiful homes with no one around to enjoy them. LOL Definitely would recommend.

We had a great time on our 5:00 cruise. The captain was very knowledgeable of the area and funny. My only suggestion would be to have a better selection of snacks, like perhaps a cheese and cracker platter to go with the wine??

Fun Trip!

We had a great trip on the water seeing all the expensive homes. Our only problem was, two in our group are hard of hearing and they had trouble understanding the commentary. They still enjoyed the scener though.

The Captain was great. Loved his narrative about the homes and sights. Bar was generous with their pours. Well worth the money.
