We loved everything about... - We loved everything about the experience. Our driver Dionne was great!! Our only feedback was waiting over 45 min after the gator tour drop off. We wish we could have explored the plantation more with that time. We sat at picnic tables waiting for the swamp tour. All time appreciated on vacation!
