I had no idea there were so many great places to see and explore in Tampa. Ybor City had such a New Orleans vibe. Who knew that chickens roam freely in Ybor City! The waterfront is so expansive and beautiful. We loved the area where food vendors are housed in colorful shipping shipping containers. Now that’s what I call a food court! Hyde Park is also beautiful. Exploring the backstreets of beautiful homes with expansive wrap around porches and gorgeous gardens was a highlight of the tour for us. Our driver James was excellent and went above and beyond to make our tour perfect in every way. Highly recommended !
