Perfect!

My husband and I took this tour Tues 12/06/22. The weather was perfect at 78 degrees with a nice breeze and low humidity. I'm glad we left early because finding this place was really a challenge due to all of the downtown construction, but we made it. There is a parking garage sort of close by but it was a hike. The cost of parking ended up being $10 for about 3 hours. The narrated tour was informative. I am really glad the narrator did not talk the entire time so we had time to just relax and take in the sights. Overall I would definitely recommend this tour.

Tour of Florida’s “Venice”

Great way to see Fort Lauderdale’s homes on the waterways! We loved the 1.5 hour cruise to see the homes and yachts of the wealthy. Food and drinks were available for purchase on the boat.

Something to do on a lazy afternoon

Drinks and snack bar. Restrooms. Trip was not too long. Very interesting. Some spectacular homes to see. I’m sure it’s amazing when the homes are decorated and lit up for the holidays.
