I had a great time at the tour. They have an amazing crew that do an outstanding job. The tour guide did great especially for the fact that she had to do the tour in both English and Spanish. I even got them to play my own song “Milele By Barakito Rodrigue” ! I’m definitely looking forward to booking with them again when I come back to Miami !

Short trip to Miami and truly enjoyed this tour. The commentator presented a ton of information on the city and the history. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I would recommend it to everyone.

Meeting point is precise and exchange of Voucher very easy and simple. Bus tour is great and boat tour is even better. Had a great full-day fun! Great value for money.

It was a great experience. We learned about wildlife and vegetation in the Everglades. We were able to spot a baby alligator and an adult alligator.

Beautiful views of Miami at night, cool information about mansions, very fun guide, great atmosphere!
