Trip was worth it
deliliah_d, Feb 2023
The whole trip was worth it. The tour guide Lily was knowledgeable and gives you options to customize your needs. It gave us plenty of time to spend in Key West. Breakfast stop in Key Largo was a bit rushed but over all happy.
Very disappointing
Charu_M, Jan 2023
I was very disappointed with this tour as I was not given sufficient timing information by the tour guide about the glassbottom boat activity I paid for. I was unable to do the activity for this reason!!
Key West Day Trip from Miami
Amitava_B, Dec 2022
We took the Key West tour from Miami on the Boxing Day and unfortunately even southern Florida was too cold and rainy that day. We were still in high spirits for making the tour and waiting outside at 6:45 AM at the designated meeting point (Aroma Cafe). Out spirit started dwindling when we were rudely greeted by our guide from inside the bus over phone asking whether we were joining the tour, even though the bus was waiting in a different place than what was mentioned in the text msg. From then onwards, all thru the day we were very dissatisfied with the attitude and communication of our guide. Also our Glassbottom boat tour was cancelled due to weather and no proper information was provided for refund. Instead the guide was too focussed on selling the Trolley tour to all. While coming back, people upstairs in bus were complaining about roaches and when we reached in Miami we were dropped a block away from hotel in pouring rain. Overall the experience was very poor, though we loved the city of Key West and would be back there.

Breakfast stop was too rushed - need at least 45 minutes rather than 30 minutes for a bus load to do a bathroom break and buy and eat
Keywest tour
Chi_N, Nov 2022
The bus stopped for 1/2 hour break to get Cuban food and coffee. However the speakers did not work in the back of the bus at all and we could not hear the tour agent. I told the tour agent to fix the speakers so the customers could enjoy anh understand what was going.
Great Destination - get there by other means
Oded_L, Nov 2022
This tour offers either merely transport to Key West and in cases some more activities upon additional cost. We took only the transport and there were serious issues. Once we get to Key West it was just great. However we got there 1.5h late since before we even left Miami the but broke down and a replacement but has to be found. First we were told it will take 35min but after 30min we were told we should take breakfast in the area as it will take much longer. When we realized it is more than an hour some of the passengers asked to cancel and receive refund. The guide told them it is not her responsibility and offered to give us a phone number so we should call and check - REALLY? In principle, it is the company responsibility to issue a bus that was checked earlier for its condition. It is a 3.5 h drive and the fact that it broke in Miami indicates that it was not properly examined prior to leaving the garage. It should become a common practice! Eventually, we reached Key West and 1.5h later without a stop on the way and we tour the area independently. In this regard, we get 6.5h to tour the place. Key West is an outstanding place and is highly recommended to visit but try to get there by other means.
5 stars for snorkeling 0 stars for contacts
YuChe_T, Nov 2022
I like the routine of snorkel, but the bus break down in the morning and it took 1.5hour to move on.Besides when I have some misunderstanding, I have no idea who to contact.I send messages and have a phone call to every contacts there’s no response for 30min as I need the help.When I finally and having a call with the customer service she had a really terrible attitude.I have an argument with her basically.In conclusion I like the routine but the way you deal with problems is terrible.
