Terrible. No guide showed up. Waiting for refund.

This was a terrible experience. No guide ever showed up at the pick up spot. My texts to the tour operator went unanswered. Neither the phone number for the tour operator nor its website was operational. I am still waiting for Viator to refund my payment.

Operator response

Mary, It personally pains me to read this review. There’s no valid apology and I am so sorry I do not have the chance to provide you with a tour of my beloved city. Our website and email was in fact down, we are trying to understand why Viator did not provide a direct working phone number so we could have at least addressed the issue when it happened. We did not see your booking on our platform and with the lack of email communication we may have missed any notices about it. Again, I am so sorry for the missed opportunity and I am personally working on making sure they refund you. My direct line is 3057755683 info@tonsoffuntours.com Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. We hope there’s still a chance to provide your with a great experience during this visit or in the future. Kind regards, Jhon Operations.

Superlative Tour and Guide

Jon was extremely knowledgeable and effortlessly switched topics when we asked off-topic questions. He could not be stumped on Miami geography, neighborhoods, history, waves of Cuban immigrations, the Art scene (not just Wynwood), environmental issues, or marine animals in Biscayne Bay. Wow. He is a delightful guide and host and very considerate of 3 seniors who aren't that mobile. We felt like we had a comprehensive tour of Miami, and would highly recommend this superlative tour. Worth every penny--without a doubt. Book it!

Worth every penny.

In early March 2023, we took our first trip to Miami. We wanted to see as much as possible in a less than half a day and with a guide. This was the way to do it to visit areas and neighborhoods, to get our bearings, We wanted to understand the settlement and culture of Miami as well. Our guide was knowledgeable and fun. And interested in helping us understand how Miami functions with the residents as its center. A wow of an afternoon. And he would willingly venture into expanding our questions, Looking forward next winter to a trip to the Everglades with Tons of Fun. Thanks.

A fantastic day discovering Miami!

John was an incredible tour guide through the many “layers” of Miami. He graciously incorporated a few of our personal requests to revisit old memories as well as introduced us to the vibrant and beautiful Miami. His knowledge is incredible as he shares about the geological foundation, the plant life, the art scene, the old and new architecture, the iconic streets and stories of old Miami to a trip out to Key Biscayne national park. We will DEFINITELY be booking John on our return trips to Miami.

Great Tour!!

This was a really great tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and personable. My husband is a history buff, and he especially enjoyed the information about the history of Miami. I enjoy photography, and I was able to take lots of great photos from the windows and moon roof of the Jeep, and during our stops. I highly recommend this tour.

This tour is a must do to understand Miami

We got to see more of Miami than we would have seen on our own. And the history of Miami is very interesting. I love the Art Deco style buildings and the street art is beautiful.

Exceeded all expectations

Flynt, the owner, couldn’t have been more agreeable and accommodating despite some miscommunication from Viator. He goes out of his way to make sure his clients leave satisfied and happy. Jhon our guide showed genuine enthusiasm and passion for his city and was easy to listen to as he described history, architecture, neighborhoods , and the people who live in them. Truly a 5 star experience all the way.
