Once nicknamed "God's Waiting Room" because of the many octogenarians eking out their last moments by the pool, modern day Miami is a glittering jewel of the south. Peppered with the music, food, and cultural flavors of Latin America, you’re more likely to find yourself surrounded by bikini-models, fashion designers and Cuban émigrés than the residents of an old-folks home.

Day 1: Explore Miami

Cradled by the Everglades, the Florida Keys, and that ever-present Gulf, it might be wise to pick up a Go Miami Card to fully explore what options lie in store for you. Alternatively, you could ease into things with a Miami City Tour, which includes a relaxing and informative cruise on Biscayne Bay. Splash down into the bay on a Miami Duck Tour or fly over the famous beaches, Art Deco district and downtown on a Grand Miami Air Tour. The view up here is even better as the sun goes down on a Miami Sunset Air Tour - especially when it's a romantic champagne flight.

Day 2: Go for a Splash!

Miami is all about playing outdoors in the sun. Ride an airboat in the Everglades and come face-to-face with killer whales at the Miami Seaquarium, or mix with the wildlife on Jungle Island. Ride a buggy through wetlands on a safari and snorkel the deep blue off Key West. Immerse yourself in the laid-back Caribbean vibe on a Key West Day Tour, with time to explore the famous waterfront and Hemingway's former hangouts. Zip across Biscayne Bay in a speedboat, or slow the pace down on a relaxing bay boat cruise.

Day 3: VIP Treatment

Rest up after the exertions of Day Two, then put on your party gear and ease into the evening with a Versace walking tour, retracing the last steps of the famous fashion designer and visiting his favorite hangouts and the old Versace store. Or take to the air at dusk on a Miami Lights Evening Air Tour. Enjoy VIP treatment with dinner and dancing, driven to and fro by your personal driver and guide, then boogie into the early hours on a Miami Dance Cruise. And if one club is 12 too few, skip the lines at 13 nightclubs with the exclusive Miami Party Pass.

Great tour. Few comments: bus was ran down, rain was pouring but - guides were great, we saw Miami in nutshell! Had blast at Everglades.
The funniest thing was that 2 weeks after we were on this tour we got a call to get outside of the hotel as bus is waiting for us! we would love to join tour again, but long time returned home.

You get a comprehensive bus tour of the major Miami areas (downtown, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Miami Beach) with lots of information. Then you get a quick stop in Little Havana (we had 20 min). Of course we had to grab some food there. Had an excellent Cuban sandwich. Would have liked more time in Little Havana but we made the most of our 20 min (sandwich and potty break). After that we got a boat ride on Biscayne bay. The tour said yacht ride. Not a yacht. But it was a boat and it was a beautiful boat ride. Saw lots of celebrity homes on the bay. Then we got back on the bus for the trip to the Everglades. It poured once we got there (so bring ponchos unless you want to buy them there). The rain didn't stop us from having a blast. It started with an alligator show. We all got to see a teeny tiny alligator and then got to watch the trainer with a bigger alligator. After that, we got to go on an airboat ride that was one of the highlights of my trip. The rain was pelting us in the face because of the speed of the boat but it was still fun. The captain did turns and went fast and it was amazing. We saw 3 alligators and a snake or two. What an amazing part of the country!
