Our original time was rescheduled but we were very flexible with our day so it worked out to our advantage since we had the sunset. This is a BYOB cruise and we had drinks we had picked up a one or the local bars. We also made a pit stop for a bathroom break so if we needed another we very well could have grabbed something else to drink and been back in time to rejoin our jaunt. Overall a really fun and interesting experience. I grew up in this area and haven't been on the river since I was in high school. Amazing first date, tons of fun and a pretty beautiful view. Love our little big city.

She then proceeded to claim I owed money however I explained I had paid Booking 100% she proceeded to argue with me that the additional fees were from Booking and had I booked directly those fees ,over $100, would not be appearing. Continuing the discussion and informing her there are no additional fees and she proceeded to argue with me. She said it was the "resort" fee and I showed her my confirmation indicating the payment I made included those fees. I gave up and gave her my credit card. Arriving in the room, room 106, I found I was approximately 3' from the fence around the pool. it was full of children and incredibly loud. Friday night there was a movie at the pool and even though all my windows and door were closed I still heard the movie. The view out of the back was the pool filter. Because the front window was shutters I had to keep all the shutters closed to have any privacy. The rooms on the second floor had tables and chairs and a view of the water. The mattress was so soft it was difficult to sleep on. There were no plugs on the side of the bed for me to charge my phone and the "nightstand" was attractive but it was tiny about the size of a washcloth. People were out by the Firepit talking well after 10. The pictures on the website are lovely but buyer beware. judging from other comments it appears I got the worse room in the motel.

Great, clean, fun place! It is a vintage motel. Not creepy. It was perfect for a weekend getaway…read more Pool was very clean and had a deepend! There is an external ice machine, free use of clean beach towels. Kuerig. Microwave. Stove. Fridge. Plenty of indoor seating and a pullout couch in our room. Pillows were soft. Towels and tolietries provided. 2 TVs. Limited glasses and silverware in kitchen. Bring paper towels and plates and your own food! Cons: Parking is 12 dollars for 12 hour next door. Wifi is subpar. Landscaping is decent but could use a refresh. No tiki bars or bars or restaurants nearby. (except waffle house- gross) We would recommend. It was above average! And family friendly. They are remodeling the "check-in" office. Check our pics!

The boat itself is easy to spot--it has a blue base and a yellow roof--and it takes off from right behind The Columbia Café, a great spot to grab lunch before your cruise. That's exactly what we did, and I'd highly recommend it! Our cruise was scheduled for 12:30 p.m., and Captain Larry was ready to go right on time, which we appreciated. The boat seats about 20 passengers, with most of the seating under shade, and there was a large cooler full of cold water available, which was a nice touch. If you want a prime seat with the best view, I'd suggest arriving 15-20 minutes early--we got there a bit ahead of time and ended up with a great front-row spot near the cooler. One thing to note: since it was a holiday, Captain Larry decided to skip the riverfront area, saying it was too crowded. We were a little disappointed since other boats, including the yellow water taxis, seemed to be making their way through just fine. Instead, we got a tour of the bay and some of Tampa's high-end waterfront homes, along with some historical commentary. The only hiccup was the microphone--it had a loose cord, making it hard to catch all of the narration. Other than that, it was a smooth, easy ride. Reservations were simple to make through Viator, and the cost was reasonable for what you get. Overall, it was a relaxing trip, though next time, I might try one of the yellow water taxis or another cruise to compare. If you're looking for a low-key boat tour with some history, this is a solid option--just make sure to show up early for the best seats!

There were 6 of us waiting to be picked up and when I called to see why they hadn't come yet was told it was canceled and I would've received an email the night before. It was in fact sent to me and perhaps I would have thought to look for it had the weather been inclement, which it was not in the least. It was a gorgeous calm day on the bay with many taxi boats out and about. If I had to speculate id say they cancelled the cruise because they didn't have enough interest. Will not use Viator again and nor will I recommend the Tampa History Cruise as an activity to any of my friends. Poor customer service all round.

My check-in instructions initially didn't go through to my phone because I was using a VoIP (Google Voice) number, but I was able to get that sorted out using my other phone number.
