This was a bit of a disaster, we were picked up late from our hotel, approximately 30 minutes, although there was only four other people on the tour who were already on board? We were then informed that we would be on the City tour first despite the itinerary stating the Everglades was in the morning.
The tour itself was good and the driver Jimmy was informative, enthusiastic and a nice guy.
After the city tour had ended, we were then transported to the harbour area whereupon the other four individuals undertook a river trip and we were informed by Jimmy that another bus would be taking us to the Everglades, we waited for an hour, it was 15.30hrs when we finally left, arriving at the Everglades after 16.30hrs! The trip on the Everglades was good and the ranger was brilliant and very informative . We were due to see the alligators in the park but by this time approximately 17.30hrs, it was closing, the sun had gone down and the gators were all sleeping and due to time both the restaurant and gift shop had also closed!
The driver then had the nerve to ask for tips but due to us returning to our hotel he didn't seem to know where it was and drove past it at approximately 19.30hrs almost three hours late as the itinerary informed the trip finished at 16.30hrs, the aforementioned gratuities were understandably not forthcoming.
Not a great day!
Two stars for Jimmy.
