Bad Business Practices

Very poor experience. There was no parking anywhere to be found near the tour group. We called ahead and the parking advice did not exist. A man behind the counter offered to park our Tesla, but he never drove one. He couldn’t tell us where he was parking our car or how much it would be. Why we would let a total stranger park our car with no EV driving experience? Nothing to validate or confirm parking location? We had to forfeit our tour and were majorly disappointed as we drove all the way from Orlando. We would like a refund.

First of all, they should know where to park, I spent $120 on parking! Also, they should know that they will be spending 1 hr. In Little Havana. The website says that the bottom of the bus is air conditioned, that is not true! Be prepared if you come on a holiday, our tour took six hours due to holiday traffic and the bus not leaving the pick up area as scheduled. The driver & the narrator, Jojan were great!

Miami Tour

It was great, pretty organized and well guided, sat upstairs on the double decker, so if you don't like the heat, stay downstairs. Be on time when they give you the time of meet up. I would say be there 10 minutes before or else they will take off.

Poor

It is not a hop on hop off, took you to only two destinations. Nearly missed bus left 8 min before departure time. Was very rushed.

Miami Trip City & Water Tour.

The City bus tour guide was very friendly & informational, the driver got us around the city safely. I believe the boat tour guides name was Lina, she was funny & very thorough.
