Chris is awesome! The pick up is on time and the drop off is right out of my door. I enjoyed the whole trip with my family. Chris is very helpful and knowledgable. He got pictures for us and shared some fun facts about Florida. We had a wonderful trip! Highly recommend to families with kids.

Our Everglades Tour is led by a real guide with over 10 years of experience in Miami. Personal connection is super important to us, that's why we keep our tour groups small to medium-sized, ensuring that every question gets answered. We make sure no question goes unanswered! The Everglades have faced new challenges over time, from urban development and drainage to the invasion of exotic species from the tropical rainforests of South America. We want to show you how much we care about the Everglades, and that's why we've been actively involved in protecting them for years. During this tour, we'll also share ways you can actively contribute to preserving the Everglades. Looking forward to having you with us!

Our tour was enjoyable, but we would have preferred driving ourselves, as we ended up staying longer than we would have liked. An unexpected event occurred, which is understandable, but it limited our ability to explore the Everglades at our own pace since we had to come and go with the group. That said, we appreciated getting a brief overview of the Everglades from the bus driver, which was informative. Additionally our hotel was not in the pick up list and we had to drive downtown to the meeting point. Because of the extended stay and not having the hotel pick up service, we had to pay nearly $30 for parking, which was a bit frustrating.

Fabulous experience, friendly and professional tour by our tour guide Ruslan. From the very beginning at time of pick-up to the end of our tour at time of drop-off Ruslan was a wealth of information about Miami, Southern Florida and the Everglades. The staff at Everglades Holiday Park continued to impress, first with the exciting and well-narrated flat-bottom boat ride by Captain Zach, spotting various local fauna, a number of birds and two alligators, and later with a fun demonstration by Wildlife Biologist Devon with one of the park's resident Alligators. All in all, a great tour of the Everglades, thanks!
