Our guide Walker picked us up directly from our hotel, and he was an excellent guide from start to finish. He is very knowledgeable about the Everglades and shared a lot of interesting information with us during the drive and throughout the tour. The entire experience was smooth, informative, and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

It was so great, we saw one alligator in the wild and what made the experience great is the people working there. We learned a lot, you can see they truly love the animals and the Everglades. However I'm not a fan of keeping those 4 alligators in captivity !
