Not a celebrity homes boat tour
TravelwithJessica10
, May 2022
The tour only showed 3-4 celebrity homes in the 1.5 hours, it's called "Tampa Celebrity Homes Boat Tour". The tour gave information about the history and buildings in Tampa, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and if I went on a tour for that I would have given 5 stars.

Awful tour company. Do not book!

Do not book the Celebrity Boat Tour! It is awful. All the people who run it care about is your money. Completely unprofessional, rude. A total waste. Do not waste your money on this tour company like we did.

I guess you were not on the tour. If you were you should have called our office and we would have made adjustments. We have been making guests happy for over 18 years. And we only have professional staff with over 20 years as guides.

I paid for a celebrity house tour and we were only shown a few homes. It was a Tampa history tour instead and if I would’ve known, I would’ve selected the dolphin tour.

90 mins of Tamp history

Mark was an awesome guide on this experience. We learned so much about the history of Tampa, all the way up to modern times. The homes you see are nice, but the real gem is seeing the city from the water.

Great tour. The guide was excellent. I completely recommend it. The only complaint is that there were only a few celebrity homes that were toured. It was mainly a history of Tampa tour.

Used this company twice....
Dakota_K
, Mar 2022
Used this company twice. The first tour we did was the history tour and our guide was amazing. The next tour we did was the “celebrity house tour” and we were told after we were on, that there is only a couple celebrities and we spent about 5 minutes on it. First off, he showed up 10 minutes late and took us back 10 minutes early. The website has each tour as it’s own hour and a half tour, but they combined all of them into 1 and wasted our time. The guide was also constantly on his cell phone and not talking. When he did talk, he was giving information about his life and not relevant to the city of Tampa.

We show you the homes of the owners of the Buccaneers, Manchester United , Alex Rogitz, Derek Jetter, Tom Brady, Tino Martinez, Vinny Le Caviae and other. There are no movie stars here. We also showed you the sites of the movie "the Punisher. If you felt you did not get a good value please call our office and we will address it for you. And yes during transit time (between points of interest) we do answer the phone or chat with each other as people.

An evening out with Family

The weather was great and the tour was really nice.. Captain Larry did a really great job giving us history of what we seen. I was confused because in the booking information it stated only 10 people per boat ride and we had way more than that. My only other issue was there were a bunch of flying bugs when we first got on boat and they continued to fly all around us until we actually started driving .

Karen_G

The boat captain only showed a few houses and gave only a little info on Tampa history. When we tried to ask a question, he was on the phone. He drove very casually and nearly hit a bridge. I would have liked a lot more information.

Celebrity Homes Tour in Tampa.....or is it it....not really.
Scott_S
, Dec 2021
I will be very specific here. The tour operator Larry was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, very patient with people and would point out just about anything worthwhile pointing out in Tampa. Saw a lot and learned a lot. The tour was slow and easy and never felt rushed. He would also slow down and point out photo ops. However, he should re-title the name of the tour. This was NOT a Celebrity Home Tour. This was a History of Tampa, Downtown, Shipping history, ship building, bridges dolphin sighting Tour. Oh, we happen to see the nice homes along the river, and he pointed out 5 of them. The 2 owned by the Glaser brothers, the owners of the Tampa Bay Bucs, the house that Derek Jeter used to live in and rented it to Tom Brady, and a cable sales guru who no one has heard of. There was another house that was in a John Travolta movie. As well as another football player that was an obscure player. So, 5 houses would not constitute a Celebrity Homes Tour. For that fact we were really disappointed. However, again, we were pleased with everything else. But as the expression goes, call a spade a spade. Don't call it what it's not.

I thank you for your honest comments. Tampa does not have movie stars mostly sports related people. Some of the people that lived on the water moved away. Ie. Writer michel Connley. NY Yankees Tino Rodrigues and we do leave out hockey players homes if after asking that guests have no interest in . since the pandemic we combined the harbor tour with the homes to give guests a full value for there time.
