5.00Fantastic! I recommend this to anyone in the Ft Lauderdale area, even Florida residents. Very cool to be able to see multi-million dollar mansions close up and hear the history and owner information. Really interesting to get an insiders view in this beautiful boat ride experience 🙌🏼 boat has drinks and snacks reasonably priced and even has two women's restrooms and one men's restroom for comfort. It was an amazing tour!
