Great way to experience the Tampa riverwalk. A hop on hop off taxi with perks. Cocktails and commentary about the area. Super friendly staff. I thoroughly enjoyed our day/ evening in Tampa.
MoreThe tour has changed since I last exerience it a couple of years ago. It was great then and better now. The boats are on time, the staff delightful and knowledgeable, and, of course, seeing Tampa from the water is a delight!
MoreI had an amazing time with the day pass today along with my daughter and mom. Definitely worth the money. Really cool experience. I can't wait to tell everyone about it. I have to acknowledge Becca, she was amazing and a lot of fun.
MoreWe took the Pirate Water taxi and went on both tours. We bought the day pass. One tour took you past the industrial area, the cruise terminal, and past all the high end homes. The tour guides were very knowledgeable. They also serve limited drinks on board if you wish to partake. The second tour took us up to the University of Tampa and up to Ulele. Loved the Ulele stop. We had great food and wandered the grounds. The Tampa University middle building was a hotel that was built by Henry B. Plant in 1891. We wandered around the building and grounds. No fees.
MoreDon’t be fooled by the gruff voice or the grim reviews. We used the water taxi for the first time last week and it was a very pleasant experience! As uninviting as he may seem the Captian is really a big softie w a heart of gold. Can’t wait to use them again in the future!
