MacDill Park on the Riverwalk | Tampa, FL

Explore Tampa’s Riverwalk with a self-guided audio tour, uncovering its history from pirates to crime bosses and more along the scenic path!
About this Event

Start by downloading the Action Tour Guide app, which will function as your personal tour guide, audio tour, and map all in one.


Once downloaded, your journey begins in MacDill Park, next to the Hillsborough River. From there, you’ll stroll along the Riverwalk, admiring the iconic Hotel Tampa Riverwalk and uncovering its architectural history. Then you’ll head past Kiley Gardens, a serene urban oasis.

As you walk past the site where many of the city’s festivals are held, you’ll find out why one of these festivals is dedicated to pirates from the Golden Age of Piracy! Then, stop for photos of the Old Steel Railroad Bridge, a living piece of Tampa’s history.

Continuing on alongside the river, you’ll dig into the Native tribes who lived here long before settlers arrived, as well as the wars that broke out as they struggled to maintain a grip on their ancestral homeland. Then, find out what role Tampa played in the Civil War as you head toward the Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park.

After walking through this lush park, you’ll get to know the fearsome Trafficante Family and the former crime boss of Ybor City. Then swing by the Henry B. Plant Museum, maybe the most beautiful building in all of Tampa. Your tour concludes here.

After booking, you can check your email before downloading the Tour Guide App by Action, entering your unique password, and accessing your tour. The preceding steps require good internet/Wi-Fi access. Simply follow the audio instructions and the route from there.

Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

This is not an entrance ticket to attractions along the route. Check opening hours before your visit.
