Just finished the swimming with Manatee tour and followed with wild bill air boat ride seeing Alligators. An all day trip with lunch , with Gray line tours Orlando. Our tour guide, Adam collected us bright and early and has been our guide all day. The trip itself has been excellent, but Adam made it Awesome’ . He was professional, informative, friendly and knowledgeable and just genuinely a lovely person, making sure that we all had the best day possible. Nothing was too much trouble and Adam quite clearly loves this job. Our 16 year old son sat up front with Adam and had lots of friendly banter. This is our first trip to Florida and it certainly will be memorable. Thank you - (from Canterbury, Kent, Uk)

Adam the tour guide was amazing and very enthusiastic throughout the trip, he makes sure everyone is included even the people who were usually quiet . If he tries to tell you lukewarm water is better at hydrating you than ice-cold water you need to call him out on it no matter how hard he insists it is true. Someone said he looks a bit like a Temu Jason Stathom which is surprisingly true. In all seriousness best tour guide I have met, highly recommend if you go one any kind of excursion you make sure to with him.
