I bought a tour to Key West and included another activity. At the start of the tour, the guide confirmed our additional activities. When we were arriving at the destination, he told me that he had just called to make the reservations for the glass-bottom boat and that there were no spots available. I asked him if I paid for it and they gave me the confirmation, how are they going to tell me now that there is no availability? I told him that it was disrespectful to the customer that they wanted to change a tour that was already confirmed. He tried to convince me to take another activity instead of that one, I insisted that I would not, because I had paid for the one I wanted to do. The guide became very rude and insisted that I could not do it because there were not enough spots. When I said that I was going to contact the company to get my money refunded, he got very angry. After a while, he appeared telling me that he was very sorry but that he had just realized that my spots were indeed available. It seems like they play with customers and perhaps want to sell an activity to others and take it away from someone who has already paid for it. I don't think I would take a tour with this company again, nor would I recommend it to anyone. Besides being more expensive than all the others, they offer you a tour and then tell you that it is not available for you. They lack professionalism.
Gracias por compartir sus comentarios. Lamentamos sinceramente la confusión y la frustración que esta situación le ocasionó. El guía era nuevo en nuestra compañía y, lamentablemente, hubo un malentendido de su parte al momento de confirmar las reservas de las actividades. Su reserva estaba efectivamente confirmada y había disponibilidad, como correspondía. Entendemos que esto le generó un estrés innecesario, especialmente porque usted ya había pagado por la actividad y había planificado su día en función de ella. Lamentamos la manera en que se manejó la situación y tomaremos las medidas necesarias para que nuestros nuevos guías reciban la capacitación adecuada y verifiquen correctamente las reservas. Nuevamente, le pedimos disculpas por el inconveniente y esperamos que nos dé la oportunidad de brindarle una mejor experiencia en el futuro. Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the confusion and frustration caused by this situation. The tour guide was new to our company, and unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding on his part during the activity reservation confirmation. Your booking was, in fact, confirmed and available, as it should have been. We understand that this caused unnecessary stress, especially after you had already paid for and planned your day around this activity. We apologize for how the situation was handled and are taking this as an opportunity to ensure that our new guides receive proper training and follow verification procedures. We sincerely regret the inconvenience and hope you will give us another opportunity to deliver the experience you expected.
Make sure you ask what pick up spot is near your home. I drove to Ft Lauderdale and there were local spots to me. Lots of fun, excursions, sightseeing, beach and dining of all types. Candy stores and cheap souvenirs
Great experience. Traveled from Ft Lauderdale to Key West. On time. Wonderful driver and tour guide. Great information and options for things to do while at Key West.
Guide & Driver have done everything possible for great tour. They made sure to keep schedule even when first bus had mechanical trouble.
A very long day but the best and most relaxing way to get to and from the keys. We rented a golf cart while on the bus (an option offered) which is a great way to see all the town however it was challenging to find parking. For us this worked due to mobility issues but because we have been to the Keys before it was a great choice. Not sure I’d recommend the golf cart to anyone going for the first time unless they are ok with paying for parking and walking long distances once one is found.
Once you arrive in Key West, you're on your own to explore. Map reading is not easy because some streets are not marked.
We were picked by a small van then transitioned to a tour bus and picked up several people to go to Key West. The tour bus air didn’t work probably and we felt line the bus was dirty. We also feel they should supply water as well. The bus driver and host on the bus were good..
Excellent driver and organizer. Organizer did an amazing job of keeping track of all customers on the full bus. He also was very knowledgable and spoke in both English and Spanish. He also got us an Uber to get us to Fort Lauderdale—very appreciated
Professional and great time. Perfect day for my mother and I. The team was prompt and courteous. Thank you.
Great experience but long drive. We did snorkeling and that was worth the extra money. Overall long day but fun
