Great experience!!

Great experience!! Good day trip, just prepare for it to be a long hot day. It was about 14 hours total!

Operator response

Thank you for your great review! We're so happy to hear you had a wonderful experience on your day trip. You're absolutely right—it's a full-day adventure, and Miami's warm weather can be intense, especially during the summer. We always recommend bringing comfortable clothing, sunscreen, a hat, and staying hydrated to make the most of the experience. We truly appreciate you choosing us and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable Miami tour or Key West day trip in the future!

Cool experience

I loved my experience!! We had enough time to experience Key West/eat. The driver was cool and informativex Finding the pick up location was easy, the bus was pretty clean (could use a wipe down), there’s a toilet on the bus, but no sink. The drive was smooth. We took a 40 min break going and coming back to use the restroom/grab something to eat/drink. The outlets on the bus didn’t work so bring a portable charger. I would recommend

Point to the destination

For the very low proposed price it remains a very good choice to be transported from Miami to Key West. Driver, however nice and helpful, very eccentric. A stop in islamorada at Rain Barrel Village was planned for breakfast: without any warning instead the stop was made at a mecdonald in another area. Now, I can't say if for having immediately reported to driver (who claimed to have forgotten to make the stop there) or for having written to the tour operator, who responded to the report (they say the barrel village was closed for Mother's Day even if passing it was open ..) the fact is that on the way back we were allowed to stop for photographs (the place was now closed for late hours). The bus alas was quite old with no possibility of cell phone charging (not working sockets) and upstairs (double-decker bus) a continuous smell of exhaust gas. Let's say it's all a bit grotesque but still worth the destination.

Operator response

We are happy to hear that you felt the trip to Key West was worth it and that our driver was friendly and helpful throughout the journey. We sincerely apologize for the unexpected change of the breakfast stop and for any confusion regarding the Rain Barrel Village location. Occasionally, operational adjustments are necessary, but we understand how important it is to communicate these changes clearly in advance. We also appreciate you bringing the condition of the bus and the issues with the charging outlets and exhaust smell to our attention. Your comments have been shared with our operations team as we are always working to improve our service and guest experience. We truly value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again on another tour in the future.

Great going Terrible coming back

The experience on the way there was enjoyable; however, the return trip was very disappointing. There was a lack of organization during boarding, and despite having prepaid, my family and I were unable to sit together. We were directed to walk around and find available seats, which was both confusing and frustrating—especially while traveling with children. This experience was unacceptable, and I believe there should be a clearer, more structured process to ensure passengers—particularly families—can be seated together when reservations have already been made.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience on the way there, but we’re truly sorry for the frustration during the return trip. As mentioned previously, seating on our transportation is not assigned. Seats are selected on a first-come, first-served basis, and when guests arrive later, it can be challenging to accommodate groups or families sitting together. We understand how important this is—especially when traveling with children—and we do empathize with your situation. That said, we have noticed that this same review has been posted across multiple platforms. We want to assure you that your concern has been fully received and acknowledged by our team. We kindly ask for your understanding and consideration in this matter. Your feedback is important to us, and we will continue working on improving communication and the boarding process to enhance the experience for all guests. Thank you.
