1.From Miami: Key West Day Trip with Pickup at Selected Hotels

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 2,918 reviews · 14 hours · from $39Our pick

Miami to Key West in one long day: scenic Keys drive, 6 hours free time, hotel pickup/drop-off, and a bilingual guide.

“Great to have a full 6 hours in Key West. We managed to walk Duval Street, see Mallory Square, visit Ernest Hemingways house, have a drink in Sloppy Joe's Bar & have lunch. The only negative for us was the time spent picking up & dropping off other passengers. Our pick up point was one of the first & so it took ages before we even left Miami on our journey & the same on return.”

“I did a reservation with my wife, my mom, and my 7 months old son, and we are very happy we did it. Although I wanted so bad to go in the bus, not the van, it was comfortable, and on time. The only piece of advice I could give to the driver is that he shouldn’t be talking on the phone while driving, but it only happened a few times and for a short period of time, so not a big deal.”

“It was supposed to be a narrated tour. But there wasn't any narration. The day trip was for me to fill, but I also expected to get some information from the guide. That wasn't the case. The toilet in the bus also wasn't working. And for such a long trip without any stops, that should be a priority!! The bus itself was very comfortable!!”
