Don't waste your money.
Timothy_S, Jan 2023
Went on Everglades tour to see alligators, saw one baby alligator. After that went to Miami Boat tour of skyline, star island, Fisher island. All in all a terrible tour. Dent waste your money.
Great day in the Everglades
samlomax, Sep 2022
Fantastic day out so well organised can’t recommend this trip enough
All the tour guides were informative and friendly
Thank you for great memories 🐊
Poor customer service
Frederick_S, Jul 2022
The trip to the Everglades takes about an hour. The boat ride is about 30 minutes and we saw one alligator, which was fine. The best part was the 20 minute show. That was entertaining and informative. Then there is along lag time waiting for the bus to come back. There is no shade in that area and the driver takes every minute of his break.
But this was all OK. The problem started when we got back for the boat ride. We were given some pink arm bands by Grayline for the boat ride. There are about 6 or 7 tour companies at the dock, and none of them had any idea what the band meant. I showed each my Viator reservation, still no luck. We walked the entire length of the dock to find the correct company. The last one even tried to put us on his boat, but couldn’t. I attempted to call the vendor but only got a voicemail. I left a message but was not called back. I emailed the company, but still no reply.
The scheduled departure time was 30 past and we had given up hope when a manager from the second boat company tried to help. He had a better phone number to call—one where a person actually answered. Imagine that!
Come to find out that we (three adults) were booked on his boat-though, he never received a reservation for us. Luckily his boat departure had been delayed, so we were still able to get the tour. The boat ride was OK.
But, I find that Viator and specifically Grayline totally left us hanging. I wouldn’t trust them to be helpful if you get stuck.
Dissatisfied and disappointed
Cari_B, Apr 2022
Very disorganized from the moment we arrived! The best thing was that the bus allowed us to nap after the Everglades visit...BTW isn't there a better park in the Everglades besides Holiday Everglades Park? Not what I expected at all,,,so lame although we did see a few gators on the air boat ride. If I could do over I would avoid purxhasing the this tour and buy tickets on my own for both outings!!
Amazing! Thank you for respecting the wildlife!
Allie_P, Apr 2022
We loved the Everglades Tour and Alligator Tour!!! The only critique would be our wait time for each! It would have been better if there was more structure in terms of knowing the schedule of when we would be doing both tours!
Poor transportation overshadowed tour
Elaine_L, Apr 2022
The transportation was horrible and overshadowed the whole experience. Weather was also an issue but the tour required that you stand in a downpour to get photos with alligator.
A lot of $$ for a day if nothing
Leanne_M, Feb 2022
Meet here by, only to wait more. Told it was a 6 hour day. It was a 10 hour day, Everglades were boring. Alligator show with bad jokes and showing us how to hold open a gator mouth. Biscayne bay an hour too long. It was 90 minutes of seeing waterfront homes. Only about four they actually knew who owned them.
Unorganised and poor information level
jan_t, Jan 2022
Unorganised and at Bayside close to chaotic. No bus to take us back to our hotel - so forced to take a taxi.
Generally poor information
Bad timing, no gator show
Heike_K, Dec 2021
The boat trip was really nice. Lots of alligators. It was fun. Afterwords we waited half an hour for the gator show. When it finally started we had to leave, because our bus was waiting. Very disappointing. Unfortunately the agency did not even answer to our complain.
Not worth it
Melissa_M, Nov 2021
The ride to the Everglades took so long because the bus kept stopping. We were always running late and barely any communication or instructions once we got there. After the Everglades we had a boat ride booked at bayside market that was great but after it was done, the bus never showed up and we had to take an Uber back to our hotel
