Disappointing tour

The cruise was unavailable due to a scheduled yacht show and we were notified of this less than a day before our excursion. We felt that the tour company should have been aware of this and shouldn’t have advertised the tour as one with a cruise. The Bonnet House is not open on Mondays and so was also unavailable to us, so we missed that as well. The tour guide, Walker, did his best to make up for the closures and added a trip to a Flamingo Garden to the walk in the Hugh Taylor Birch state park. What we did was fine, but not what we had signed up for.

Best Caviar in Fort Lauderdale – A Gourmet Experience with Bemka

If you’re looking to buy caviar online in Fort Lauderdale, Bemka – House of Caviar & Fine Foods is truly the best. I recently tried their selection, including Beluga caviar, Ossetra sturgeon caviar, and Sevruga caviar, and every bite was exceptional. The texture was smooth, the flavor rich and buttery — exactly what you’d hope for from high-quality, sustainable caviar. The ordering process was seamless, and their caviar home delivery in Fort Lauderdale arrived perfectly chilled and beautifully packed. It made entertaining at home effortless, and I even used their products for a New Year’s Eve caviar celebration. Bemka also offers wonderful options for gifting, such as a caviar gift basket or gourmet gift box — perfect for an anniversary caviar surprise or a luxurious present for food lovers. Whether you’re in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Chicago, or NYC, their caviar delivery service ensures you can enjoy premium Russian and Kaluga caviar anywhere. This is hands-down the top rated caviar in Fort Lauderdale — a must for anyone who wants the finest.

Do not book- Canceled tour at last minute

Tour was cancelled minutes before starting!!! Booked for 6/19/24. Received two calls from the tour group that morning and when I returned their call got no answer, I left a message saying I would be at the meeting location they’d sent me about 20 minutes prior to tour start and if anything had changed to reach out. I received a text a few minutes later saying that everything was good to go and the calls were a mistake. I Ubered to the meeting location ($20 fare) and waited. After several minutes, I sent a text letting them know I was there and to see if I had the right spot. At this time they canceled on me. The tour was canceled, and no other groups would be going out later that day as an alternative. This was not due to weather or anything beyond their control. I would not recommend this company or any of their tours in any way. To cancel a tour minutes before start time is completely unacceptable. I asked if they would compensate me for the Uber I’d taken to their designated meeting spot, where they’d left me sitting and waiting, and they refused. Had they let me know when I reached out a few hours prior to the tour that it was canceled, I could have avoided this cost and planned alternate activities for the afternoon. Sadly, that was not the case and I was left stranded at a train station on the last day of my vacation.

Wonderful Experience

Guide was exceptional. Very personalized experience and knowledgeable. Sights were possible to see separately on my own, but the guided plan made it care free and easy. Hotel pickup another great service, door to door worry free!
