Slice of Paradise - Coming from Vancouver, BC. This was the most beautiful beach we have ever been to. A slice of paradise! The sand is like velvet. The water temp is warm. Rentals readily available. Ice cream, iced coffee, souvenir shops close at hand. A must visit to relax and enjoy Florida’s coast!

Beach Experience while in Orlando! - The tour was great. Clearwater is a great beach, not overcrowded, easy to maneuver. The Sea Screamer was underwhelming. We saw 2 dolphins, it’s great if you just want to get on a boat but otherwise not worth it. The kids enjoyed the beach better than Sea Screamer. Next time we will just do the beach the whole time. The tour guide on the bus was friendly :) I definitely preferred riding on a bus over driving. The Clearwater day trip completed our vacation, we got to do Orlando stuff annf also experience the beach.

Great experience - We enjoyed our day trip to Clearwater Beach…beautiful white sand, plenty of rental chairs, Crabby’s restaurant, pier and speed boat/dolphin ride within a short walk. The bus was at our meeting points on time (maybe even a few minutes before). The ride to and from did seem a bit long, but the tour guide, Kevin, was awesome and gave interesting facts along the way. It was nice to be able to sit back and let the bus take us to the ocean for a few hours and then back and give us a nice break from the parks. Would definitely recommend to others interested.

GREAT EXPERANCE WITH VIATOR TOURS - Loved seeing the baby dolphines on the cruise upgrade. The Grand Wyndom Resort near Pier 60 has a fabulous weekday morning breakfast buffet... everything you would want and eat as much as you like. It only cost me $31.00...WOW! The bus Viator tourguide was so helpful and gave us lots of great tips. Thankyou Viator. I will be signing up for other tours in the future for sure. Humbly, KC

A very disappointing experience - It was the worst tour I have ever taken. The bus broke down one hour after we started. It took 40-45 minutes to fix it. We were stuck on the road that time. Did they not do proper maintenance?
In Clearwater the weather was horrible. Continuous rain and strong winds from time to time. I cannot blame the tour operator for the weather; they cannot control it, Did they check the weather forecast before the tour? There needs to be a back up plan when the weather turns nasty. This must be a frequent occurrence in this part of the country. The dolphin activity was canceled for a good reason - safety. We did receive refund for that part l
We were stuck in very bad weather,with nothing to do for several hours. I had to figure out what to do. I went from store to store, mainly for shelter, with no interest in the products. I went to Starbucks, DunkinDonuts, a small shop near the beach, to get a comfortable place for sometime. It was hard to find a dry bench. I had looked forward to spending some relaxing time on a beautiful beach. Instead it was a very stressful time.
I don't blame the tour operator for the weather but I believe there should be a backup plan. The bus dropped us at a point and we were on our own to battle the rain and wind. I was wet when were boarded the return bus at 4:15pm, but they did not turn on heat, eventhough I asked for it. They used AC instead. I was cold the whole time.
It was a total waste of time and money for me.

Told to be in two different pick up areas, so missed the bus and beach trip. - We arrived for our tour 40 minutes early. I texted to the app chat to make sure we were in the right place for pick up. I was told we were.
A few minutes later we were told to go to another part of ICON park for pick up. We ran over there and the bus pulling up there was going to Kennedy Space Center. The guide told us to wait there and our bus was running late. I then got a text to go back to the original spot in ICON park. We ran back over there and there was no bus for Clearwater Beach.
I receive a text saying they had been waiting for us in the original spot and the bus had left. We were VERY disappointed. I am not sure why I was told to be at two different places for pickup. Ridiculous.
This was the only tour day we could do. They offered for us another tour in 2 days, but we would be flying home at that time. They refunded the basic fee (which is the bare bones minimum they could do in my mind.) I had greatly been looking forward to the Clearwater Beach and it was ruined by the miscommunication/wrong communication about location pick up.
I would like to be compensated more for ruining the day I was looking forward to the most of my vacation.
I would not recommend this company. Such a disappointment. I hope this does happen to anyone else.
