“Tour guide was lovely and knowledgeable nice to see all the houses”
Two days of hop-on hop-off bus views plus optional Millionaire’s Row cruise and night tour, with multilingual audio and 9 stops.
“We really enjoyed the hop-on hop-off Miami bus tour! I am a South-Florida native and my husband came to visit for the first time. A friend suggested this for us to save myself some time and hassle and it was worth the money. There was no tour guide on our tour, only the informational recorded information about our surroundings. I definitely recommend!”
Private 2-hour Miami night boat ride with cooler, ice, and Bluetooth music. See the skyline, Star Island, and the port from the water.
“Absolute Scam do not book. We showed up and there was no captain and they said no refund after explaining to them that we were searching for their location because it is hard to find!”
See South Beach, Little Havana, and Star Island on a double-decker bus and narrated cruise, with a Bayside lunch stop.
“Guide wasn’t very knowledgeable. He would point things out but gave no history of why it was important. Didn’t give clear directions when dropping us off for cruise. Many of us missed the cruise we were to be on. We were also told guide from cruise would tell us where to meet bus to take back to meeting point and that didn’t happen. We had to wait another hour for bus back. When I called office about the cruise meet up point, the lady would hang up on me. Would not recommend this tour with this group.”
Cruise past Hibiscus, Venetian, Sunset and Star Islands from Bayside with fun narration, a cash bar, and a quick Miami Beach break.
“Headline: GREEDY, INFLEXIBLE, AND TOTAL DISREGARD FOR CUSTOMERS! AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Rating: ⭐ (1/5 Stars) If I could give this cruise line zero stars, I would. My experience with them was an absolute nightmare and proved that they care significantly more about squeezing money out of their passengers than providing even a basic level of customer service. We arrived at the terminal exactly one minute after the scheduled check-in time. Despite the ship being docked for another 30 minutes, the staff was cold, robotic, and completely unwilling to help. We pleaded with them repeatedly, explaining our situation, but they flat-out refused to let us board. It is clear their…”
See South Beach, Biscayne Bay and the Everglades in one day with bus, boat and airboat rides plus a Bayside lunch stop.
“The tour operator is not organised well. For messages I sent there was no reply. The one day tour I booked had three components. 1. City tour. 2 Biscayne Bay cruise 3 Everglade air boat When we went to tour operator office, the staff there wrongly sequenced the tour for us with the result we could do only first two on that day . Then they offered the third one after two days later Since we were in Miami for three days we could take it. Otherwise we would have missed the Everglades air boat for the poor organisation of the tour operator. Further for going to thier office one…”
Miami Red Loop hop-on hop-off bus with recorded audio, optional Millionaire’s Row cruise, night tour, and a free 1-hour bike rental.
“The meeting place was given to me incorrectly when I called Viator for a stop near hotel I was staying. I feel that more information could have been given during the commentary.”
Half-day open-top bus plus 90-minute Biscayne Bay cruise with English/Spanish narration, Miami neighborhoods, and Millionaire’s Row views.
“I love the View of the City, the ride was pleasant and beautiful. I wish I wore a tie down hat to block the sun. It’s windy up there lol. There are multiple bus tours, it was confusing on who to look for if you’re hoping on at the Lincoln location. There’s no podium or sign for the company at the park. It would be nice to have the different times to ride the boat and an announcement for which stop for the boat ride. We had to catch an Uber back to the location for the boat. When we arrived it was only one time left which was 3pm.…”
