Tour by Bus was excellent, very interesting nforamtin was given during the tour.
Boat Tour was fun and info was very interesting as weel.
Awesome! Our Miami tour guide was very knowledgeable and I felt the tour itself was very extensive and worth its value. The Bay Cruise was also fun, our tour guide was entertaining.
the concept good, execution could have been better. more "down time" than expected made it a long day and could have then possibly then have avoided the rush hour mess.
Pick up of all customers took extremly long - around 90 Minutes. Then they changed the scedule and we had to wait another 60 minutes for the boat tour to start. After the boat tour we had to wait anohter 60 minutes (pick up was 30 minutes late). The the city tour startet: The driver was also the tour guide - and held the tour in 3 languages: very good english - good/broken German - and broken Spanish. All in all a very disappointing tour: Boat trip was good / city tour not! We spent (lost) a whole day on a tour that should last only 6 hours.
The trip description fails to mention you see all the sights from the inside of the coach, occasionally you can get off and walk around the sights. I would recommend this activity if you would like to go and see the celebrity homes / star island otherwise go and enjoy the beach instead. The Tour guide however was full of energy and really did make the trip fun. Tip: Be prepared for a late start.
Very disappointing. Transporter almost killed us going from hotel to shopping area..then the first thing on the tour was free time. Then we got on old Booze Cruze pirate ship for our tour around Biscayne Bay..then more free time..and then for the city tours..our drive never did the tour before..wasn't sure where he was going..really not good..will never book with this company again..and it's unfortuante because my husband and I are avid travelers..but this was the worse tour by far.
The day was well paced (some waiting).
We did the Biscayne Bay cruise in the AM and our guide was very informative, knowledegable and had a sense of humor. There were drinks and snacks for purchase. The afternoon took us to many sights you only read about and viewed homes of the rich and famous from the land side that you had seen in the AM from the water. Lunch in Little Havana, drive through Cocoanut Grove, etc. ,etc. Very enjoyable.
After the bus broke down in the middle of the free way, everithing was fun.
Booked over internet in Switzerland. No problems at all, very well organized. Driver in bus (Al) super guide. Funny, helpful, interesting. Knew everything about Miami. Boat trip as well very interesting. All in all we can only recommend this tour to everybody who wants to see the best of Miami in 6 hours. Thank you!
My tour was great, need to add more stops, like South Beach
Absolutely boring, far to drawn out and long.
We were picked up at 9.30 from south beach drove over to bayside to pick people up then drove all the way back to South beach to start Tour, Why?? The guide was boring and uninteresting, could not wait to get of the stuffy crowded bus, over 3 hours.
Took us back to Bayside and went on the boat trip which was fun, the guide was entertaining, saved the day.
Wish we had skipped the bus trip and just did the boat trip.
Trip was excellent, although we thought the boat trip was 90 minutes, but was only 60 mins, but was still very entertaining. The bus trip was extremely good, the driver was incredibly knowlegable, and made the 3 hour ride worth every penny.
we had to chang the date of the trip the night before, to two days later, spoke to a very pleasant lady on phone who said it would not be a problem. She was true to her word and we have to give her a big thank you.
To anyone thinking of booking with this Company, GO FOR IT - this particular tour is excellent value for money
Pete in England
A good city overview sightseeing trip for the value.
Got a great overview of Miami and a look at some amazing homes. Worth it.
