★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,210 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $89Our pick

A 3-hour Ybor City walk with up to six food and drink tastings, plus guided history stops by the Marti Park and iconic sights.

“This was a wonderful experience with a knowledgeable and competent tour guide (Cynthia H.) who gave a well organized and interesting tour. She focused on the human and architectural history of Ybor City. The food samples were well chosen and organized with the restaurants beforehand. Food included the best Cuban sandwich I have ever had, Shepherds Pie in the local brewpub to represent the historic German influence on the area (the Germans have since mostly left. The brewpub was a stand-in), a calzone at the local Italian place (The Amici). and, finally, Cuban cappuccinos at a cigar shop. Very well organized and sequenced.

3.Guided Tampa Sightseeing Tour in a Deluxe Street Legal Golf Cart

Deluxe street-legal golf cart tour of Tampa with a small group, photo stops, headset audio, and local food and history tips.

“We had a pretty good time. Those facing forward, better than other 2 in back facing seats, it felt crazy fast. On back facing, they set a speaker down to hear but it was just crackling and would be better if it was off. The driver was good, melodramatic but fun. Would do once to see the city but not again. Question below asks if I'd recommend and it just depends on who you there with...so it needs a third choice. I'd say it's a good one time experience”

4.The Florida Aquarium Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 979 reviews · 1 day · from $36

Florida Aquarium ticket in Tampa: free-flying birds, a 500,000-gallon reef gallery, 3 touch pools, and MORPH'D. Skip the line.

“We had a good time but 110.00 for 3 people is a lot of money for what we saw we walked thru it twice in 1.5 hours. We stopped at multiple exhibits and stood for minutes listening to the guides. That’s a lot of money for 1.5 hours of self guided tour they do have a place to eat and a gift shop to burn up more time and money but I think that 20-25 is a better cost for self guided tour per person. I’m mean students over 13 had to pay adult prices. They should have a student k through 12 price and give parents a discount”
