10 Sightseeing Tours in St. Petersburg That You Shouldn't Miss

October 9, 2021 Flossie Demartino

The sun almost always shines on St. Petersburg, the "Sunshine City" that enjoys an average of 361 days of clear skies per year. Combine that with 244 miles of glimmering coastline along Tampa Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, Boca Ciega Bay and the intra coastal waterways and you have one hot beach destination. Catch the sun, surf and sand at Ft. De Soto Park, or take a hike up the 37-mile Pinellas Trail. Enjoy a Devil Rays game during baseball season or escape to the shady oasis of the Sunken Gardens.

Everything was great, we had an amazing time for my sisters birthday. The staff was helpful and attentive. I was a little disappointed with my dinner. I ordered the filet mignon and got a strip... I paid $40 for the filet and not only didn't get the right cut it wasn't cooked the way I asked. My waiter tried to get me another one to my tasting but still wasn't correct. That's my only disappointment but then again it was a big one.

The whole crew of my tour was very helpful and understanding. I travel solo so I need lots of personal attention, and they gave it to me! Guide was able to change some plans in our day and driver made a couple of additional stops so I could get specific gifts for my family and see some really sweet local attractions. I definitely recommend this company!
