NO AC on the bus as advertised, it was extremely uncomfortable in Miami of all places. The windows will not open and are dirty and cracked , did not take any photos for that reason. This company needs to do better.
We had a very nice tour guide. However, the tour started 45 minutes late which caused us shorter times at the planned stops. I was disappointed that we only got 15 minutes at Waywood when it should have been 30 minutes and only 30 minutes in Little Havana when it should’ve been an hour. It didn’t leave us much time to explore or even grab lunch. Also, don’t plan for air conditioning inside the bus. There was none. It was hotter inside than sitting on top.
Covered all basics, and thats all. Stops at commision should be avoided in my opinion, overall an ok excursion, but could be improved.
The tour company only told us, while checking in, that the boat portion of the tour had been cancelled but we could come back tomorrow for that portion: we had flights the next day and could not return - no credit, partial refund, nothing offered.
Bus was not air conditioned. It was old with cracked windows. It ran 30 minutes behind. The narrator was hard to understand. It did not stop at all stops. One locale was closed. Owner unapologetic. Boat was slightly better. But also hot, older, and narrator hard to understand, especially constantly switching between English and Spanish. Sights, however, were moderately interesting.
It was great, but the driver never picked us up to bring us back to the location where we were picked
The tour was nice. Our guide, Pablo, was awesome. However, air conditioned bus was questionable, lol.
Everything was great and I would recommend this experience to anyone in Miami, I really enjoyed the tour
First off FALSE ADVERTISING. The bus had zero air conditioning and 2 very big emergency exit windows were swinging, had broken glass and slamming back and forth. Complete hazard especially if a child were sitting near them and got a finger or arm in there. So the bus was super HOT. You could not understand the guide with either how he talked in the microphone or speaker system. So you are touring spots and have no idea what he is saying. May as well have been a digital recording and maybe we would have had a chance to understand what sights we were seeing. We got dropped off at the Bayside Market to explore and get on our next tour via boat ride. The photos advertised first of all was a nice conservative looking white double decker boat. When the tour guide on the bus was dismissing us off the bus, he told us to go to the PIRATE SHIP at 1:15p for our 1:30p boat tour. It was never advertised as a CHEESY PIRATE SHIP. Then we wait in the line in the Miami heat just to be told by that company that they no longer as of 3 days do business with the Miami bus tour company because they haven’t been paying them. So many of us that purchased this tour through the Miami Tours.com were very upset. We had to pay for our own transportation back to the meet up spot in front of their business which low and behold had closed its doors. They weren’t receiving phone calls and just abandoned their establishment. We filed a dispute and We hope to be getting a refund but won’t know for a week. Best ad use is to find a reputable business or uber/lyft yourself to the sites you want to see. There are also plenty of onsite tours right at the Bayside area. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH MAIMI TOURS.COM. How aweful and such a waste of our travel time and experience
Don’t waste your money on this tour,there is better ways of seeing Miami Guide was rude Bus was in a very bad way (front window smashed with barrier tape over front Rushed everywhere and taken to places for samples and end up having to pay for them so if you book this tour and have a mojito it will cost (3 non alcoholic and one alcoholic nearly $60 (not explained there is a charge) Boat trip ok and quite informative but on a very old boat. Overall could have done everything at our own pace using buses for a fraction of the cost and without the rudeness and obsession with the colour stickers they give you to make sure your supposed to be on the bus Staff in shop not interested and also rude and just giggle at each other
