After a short time I had some unfortunate health issues that no longer enabled me to be able to ride. I did nothing about it for a long time hoping that my issue would change and unfortunately it didn't. I called the store and spoke to Kathleen and also to Brian and they told me they wanted to help, which they did. They found a buyer for the trike,picked it up and made all the arrangements. They not only make promises to their clients but they follow through on them. They have great products,great people and you can count on what they tell you as being fact. I would suggest to anyone purchasing an e bike be smart go here, as they help with anything and everything they can for their client. Continued success, you guys all deserve it. Thanks again, Dennis F.

I noticed it but it didn't get to me like it affected him. The food was good, but nothing memorable. There isn't a lot of Gluten Free options. I never hold that against any restaurant just thought I'd mention it for us unfortunate folks that can't have Gluten. If we happened to be in the area we'd probably go back for drinks and apps at the bar but would make a special trip.

BEWARE! This company is a SCAM and they engage in fraudulent activity! My sister, her fiancé, my mom, and I booked the Clear Kayak L.E.D. Night Tour- Sarasota for May 1, 2022. Fun Florida Tours cancelled on us an hour before the tour by sending a text which read, "Due to rain we have to reschedule or cancel Would you like to go tomorrow night". We could not reschedule because my sister and her fiancé leave tomorrow. I asked that they issue a refund and I would book again sometime in late summer, once my sister and her fiancé return. I also sent a video and picture showing that it is not raining and that we arrived ready for our trip. There was even another kayak group (Sharkey's Water Sports) ready to go out and they went out. Also, their "Cancellations" policy during booking states "Trip will go rain or shine" and we were prepared with ponchos. They had no right to cancel this trip and if they did, they should have processed a refund. Instead of offering a refund, whoever I was communicating with from Fun FL Tours responded by a spliced/ doctored fraudulent email chain claiming that the guide (was supposed to be Jen) sent a detailed text and had a correspondence with me about the rainy weather and that I acknowledged "Noworries that's fine." It's funny, because if you look at the continuation of the doctored texts, you can see that they do not match up and the roles seem to flip. The first "Hi Hatley" I wrote is in grey and the "Noworries that's fine" is in dark green. I sent a few additional messages requesting a refund and denying that I consented. I never got a response back. Looks like I now have to fight them to get about $300 back. Fortunately for me, I am an attorney, so I will fight this as far and hard as I need to go to get justice, but I am writing this review to prevent someone else from being taken advantage of by this company. UPDATE: After posting my reviews and sending an email to Fun Florida Tours demanding a full refund, they finally cancelled the transaction, but did not even have the courtesy to let me know. I found out because I checked my credit card balance after they responded to my demand email with this gem: "Are you having a man tantrum ?" (See posted image of my redacted gmail screenshot of their response). Buyer, beware. Thought I would post this update so you can see for yourselves what kind of service you can expect to receive. UPDATE 2: Now they are trying to pretend (on Facebook comment) that they issued the refund before I made a formal demand and before my reviews... right.... I'll leave that up to the reader to decide. read more

Captain Josh was absolutely AWESOME from start to finish. He was hands-on (and BUSY) all day baiting hooks, taking fish off, making sure everyone was having a great time, and even cleaning our catch so we could take it home. (Which, by the way, turned into the BEST fish tacos I've ever had!) The highlight of the trip was when he put us right on a school of redfish. For three straight hours it was nonstop action. We hit our limit in about 5 minutes, and then spent the rest of the time catching and releasing some absolute monsters. Our biggest was 34", and we easily landed 25+ fish overall! If you're thinking about booking a trip, don't hesitate! Captain Josh is the real deal. We'll definitely be back!
