Seeing my daughters face when the boat started to swerve was priceless. The guide was really funny as well. They were very organized. The weather was perfect. We sat all the way up front so we didn’t get wet. Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely be signing up again for another tour when we come back down .

Had a lot of fun. At first my husband wasn’t sure about being on a boat with so many people. He actually really enjoyed it. The gentleman narrating the tour was very knowledgeable and funny when telling us about celebrities and their homes. This tour allows you to see areas and properties you otherwise wouldn’t be able to see. Highly recommend for groups, families and couples. The gentleman will even takes pictures for you towards the end of the ride to capture the moment.

Crew was very nice, excited to take us out on speed boat. We enjoyed our time, but wanted to do more twists and turns on the water. Would recommend to others. The time was short.

The whole experience was great except the directions on how to find them. It was a hot day, I couldn’t find the place. I was sweating. I feel like they could have given better directions. Plus the tour guides asked for a tip?
