Walking Tours

Experience the adventure of a lifetime and become the captain of your very own speedboat on this thrilling 2-hour tour out of Tampa Bay. Meet at the Tierra Verde Resort Marina to join a knowledgeable guide who will help you navigate your way out of the serenity of Tampa Bay and let you take control of your craft for a heart-pounding journey. Open the throttle and feel the wind in your hair and the sea beneath your wings, as you speed across the Gulf of Mexico. Sail past the beautiful National Wildlife Refuges and historic Fort de Soto Park. And look out for pods of bottlenose dolphins, manatees, gopher tortoises and numerous varieties of local birds swirling above.

Meet your guide then set off on a seriously spooky adventure through Tampa. Journey through some of the city’s most haunted streets, and experience spine-tingling hauntings. Discover why Tampa is called “the damnedest town this side of hell”, and listen to stories of eerie, unexplained encounters and paranormal activity experienced by local residents. Hear tales of the spirit of the projectionist at the Old Tampa Theater, and the ghost of the notorious gangster Charlie Wall. By the end of the tour, you’ll have seen a new side to Tampa, and have a few ghost stories to take home with you.

Meet your local tour guide at Malio’s steakhouse to enjoy your first food sample of the tour. Enjoy a glass of paired wine as you get to know your guide and fellow guests.  Your tour continues with a walk along the river as your guide shares stories about Tampa’s history and architectural highlights. Enjoy lobster mac and cheese with more wine at your next restaurant before continuing to a Spanish restaurant for tapas and sangria. After your first three stops, it’s time for dessert. Head to a local chocolatier to enjoy a sampling of chocolates for dessert.
