The tour is led by David, who is part of the family. He is funny and engaging and tells great stories. I learned about the Tocobaga site and the Indian mound. But I also learned so much history about our area and it's early inhabitants. Why is Treasure Island named so? Why is it called John's Pass? Take the tour and find out. The tour takes you around their property and up the mound and back. It's not a long walk. Along the way you can look at the plants and peacocks. We stopped often as David told a story or showed us something cool. You even get a view of the water from one of their docks. Highly recommend the tour. It's about 75 minutes long. Tons of parking in their lot.

Tour St. Pete was flexible with our dates and group number. Our group consisted of 2 locals and 4 out of town guests, and even the locals learned a lot of new things. The tour is flexible, and you can request to see certain things if you want. Our tour guide, Greg catered to our interests and told us awesome stories and facts that related to those interests. We even got the option to stop for an ice cream, cupcake or beer if we wanted. We learned everything from the Men who founded St. Petersburg, FL to the beautiful modern day murals that cover the City. I recommend anyone who has family visiting from out of town, to do this tour. You will learn something, and your visitors will fall in love with St. Pete. I'd do this tour again, and I know I'd learn something new every time.

St. Petersburg is beautiful, but this sunset tour was the highlight of our trip. Charley is an outstanding guide--exceptionally great at what she does and a wonderful asset to the Discovery Center. Captain Mel runs a fantastic boat with perfect poise, balance, and genuine care for everyone on board. A special thank you to Vivian as well for going out of her way to help us with our tickets while preparing the boat for the 7:00 PM tour. She is a truly kind and patient person.

A turtle tank. A tiny tank with some miscellaneous fish and a baby puffer, a touch tank with some sea urchins, horse shoe crabs, hermit crabs, sea stars, and sea cucumbers, another tank with some brittle stars and a sea horse, and one last tank with some lion fish! There's $3 admission for military but I cannot imagine paying double that. I hope the profit goes to something beneficial for wildlife. We really took our time checking out every tank once we saw how small the room was. There was an employee at the touch tank that was extremely knowledgeable about the animals they have. Overall it was enjoyable to step inside and spend 20 minutes looking at fish tanks.

We started at Lucky Lobster and experienced the best Lobster and Shrimp Pizza and also Lobster Bisque. Never had that combination before but it was off the chart good! There were many great stops but our favorite was Harley's Popcorn! So much so that we later ordered a tin of Popcorn to be delivered to family!! And the grand finale was the dessert and coffee at the Bon Appetit Restaurant! Fresh hot coffee and a choice of many desserts. We chose the Coconut Pie which was a the perfect ending to a delicious afternoon and husband chose the Key Lime Pie which he declared was the best ever! Thank you for a great tour. Alex was well informed and we liked how he incorporated some Dunedin history into the tour!!

Read on for details about our ghost tour though downtown St. Pete. Getting Tickets Saw the tour as an event shared on Facebook. Ordered our tickets online via the ghost tour site - very easy. This is the site I used https://www.ghosttour.com/ Parking Our tour was scheduled to leave at 8 p.m. Saturday evening, Oct. 12. We were instructed to meet up at Sweet Diva's 400 Beach Drive NE/4th Ave. North Side. Parking was a pain, but this is expected downtown. Might be a good idea to grab a bite or drink at Locale Market, walking distance to Sweet Diva's. Valet park for $5 (have Locale validate your parking!) this should allow you to park until 11 so you can do the tour and grab coffee or a beer after the walk. Ready, Set, Go! You can't resist stepping inside Sweet Diva's (unless you have some sort of insane amount of willpower) - the shop is super cute and filled with homemade chocolates and other goodies. Grab a bottle of water or coffee while waiting and be sure to use the rest room before the walk. The tour guide allows ten minutes for those running late w/tickets which is very nice, but do try to be on time! Meet Your Guide Our guide was named Neil Patrick (I know what you're thinking, far from it LOL) ... Neil was an older gent with more energy than I have in my entire freakin' body. We didn't ask, but it's obvious he is or was a stage actor at some point in his life. He walked at a perfect pace (and I'm a massive slowpoke so trust me, it's all good!) and was concerned that everyone in our group - of about 20 which included young couples and seniors vacationing - could hear him. What to Expect If you've never done one of these ghost tours before, you may want to note this isn't going to scare the out of you. This is more of a historical ghost story telling type thing. Neil provided us with interesting background on famous area landmarks such as the Vinoy Hotel, the Blocker Mansion, Cordova Inn and more as well as famous ghosts like Esther Wright aka The Bird Woman of St. Pete. Tip Bring cash for tip - your tour guide is worth it.

We met our tour guide Craig, near the Vinoy to start the tour to make our way further down Beach Dr. Craig has a great personality, is super friendly and has an awesome singing voice. He starts the tour with a few songs and performs more during the tour. I am not a huge fan of listening to these types of solos but he was good and it was entertaining enough. People who enjoy that type of thing would love it. I don't want to spoil the spots, but as you can see from my pictures, you get a lot of food on the tour. You get a drink at the first stop and can purchase drinks at the 2 other restaurants. The tour was approximately 2 hours, I am used to longer food tours with more history. It went quickly, would be nice if the tour was slightly longer.

We've been trying out some different biking trails around the Orlando area. We've now visited the…read moreSeminole Wekiva Trail twice. We like it because it's more scenic than some other paved trails. It's also quite long, so you can choose how far you want to go. The first time we kept going alongside I-4 in Lake Mary, but the second time, we turned and went over I-4 (yes, OVER) and then continued down the trail that way before heading back. Coming from Winter Garden, the San Sebastian Trailhead is the closest jumping on point, and it's also near the beginning of the Trail. The trail does extend a couple of miles further across 436 and down by the Costco, but it seems too busy and trafficky that way. My GPS didn't take me to the correct spot for the trailhead, though, so be careful of that. The road to the trailhead is next to the left of the Rooms-to-Go parking lot with only a tiny sign indicating it. If you turn into a neighborhood (like my GPS suggested), you can't get to the trailhead from there. I love to see the art work painted on the backs of wooden fences as I bike down the trail. Someone has done of excellent job of making boring fences look exciting. There's also a decent amount of shade throughout the trail, and I love how they've built two tunnels under major intersections for bikes to safely cross.

Trains trees and…read more tortoises The Seminole Wekiva Trail is a multi purpose trail that was converted from the old Orange Belt Railway. The rail was built waaaaaay back in 1888 and at one time was the longest narrow gauge railway in the world. The trains are long gone and rail service was discontinued in the early part of the 20th century and the path laid dormant until some progressive minds decided to put it to good use. The whole length is about 14 miles long so with a 28 mile round trip the journey can give you a decent workout on a bike. One thing that became very apparent is the absence of hills. The whole stretch is very flat and straight which means it's a very easy ride and a great place to hit the afterburners and really move in the areas where the traffic is light. The bike trials in New England have far more hills and turns. The whole area is paved and the surface is in absolutely great condition. Hardly any made bumps or nasty holes to make you fall off your bike and smash your face. Again, I'm use to the paths in the north where the frost heaves and buckles the pavement every winter. This was such a pleasant and smooth ride and the miles just seemed to fly by and the ride over far too quickly. The path goes through some populated areas and crossing the streets can be a pain but it also means that you pass some places to get food and treats. There are even some water fountains and bathrooms on the path and lots of benches and cool spots to take a break or look around. Very convenient and all the folks that we met on the path were friendly and extremely nice. I didn't notice any areas that made me fear for my life. The scenery in many parts was beautiful with funny looking trees and plants, small lakes and many types of birds. We even saw a big tortoise crossing the path in one point. Someone we talked to along the way warned us about gators occasionally crossing the trails but unfortunately we didn't see any of these. I've heard that eventually they plan on expanding the path and connecting it to other trails to make it much longer. That would be great but like the rail trails here in the north east, such plans usually take a lot of time and money. At 14 miles the Seminole Wekiva Trail is still one very pleasant and enjoyable ride.
