Nice quiet drive with few other cars. Lots of wildlife and beautiful plants. Will do it again when we have more time to complete all the stops.

We enjoyed this low commitment tour. With young kids it’s really nice to go at your own pace and choose if you want to skip something or spend more time at a stop.

Nothing this was baloney and I would have preferred to get my money back. All we did was drive a crappy road that was so potholed I had to drive fast to get through it. Horrible. Avoid this tour at all costs. Would really like my money back.

Being able to have our own private tour at our own pace was exactly what we needed! The audio was so nice because it gave us a little background of what we were about to adventure. We selected the West to East version. The boardwalk stops were a great way to stretch our legs. We saw 4 alligators on our own right from the boardwalks. We missed the later portion of the tour as we didn't realize that we had to stay on Loop Road. We started on the road and it had a lot of pot holes, and we worried about our rental car. We turned around and went back on the main road. After a while with no more stops, we realized that the App's map was zoomed in so we didn't notice all the next stops continued on from Loop Road. We missed a lot of stops. We were too far gone to turn back and could have hit those by starting at the end, but we were satisfied and had another ccommitment.
