Traffic in Miami can be busy and something a few miles away could take 20 minutes to travel to so choose your stops wisely. We started the trip at the bayside shopping area. The salesman explained each stop so we had a plan before getting on the bus. The buses were packed and we had to sit downstairs with no air conditioning to go to the first stop. Luckily it only took about 10 minutes. We got off by the beach and enjoyed walking along the boardwalk then spending a half hour on the beach before finishing our walk to the second stop. They say the buses come every 30 minutes and we always seemed to wait 15 or 20 minutes before the bus came. Stops were easy to find with little red signs. We then took the bus to little Havana and enjoyed lunch there. It was fun to drive by the other locations but with the timing we did not have enough time to get off and explore to be in the right area around lunch.

A man named Jose (last 4 digits of his number: 2915) approached us on the boat claiming two people had won a raffle. We weren't the winners at first, but then he pulled us aside and said we actually won, only they "couldn't pronounce our names properly." Later, I found out they do this same trick with multiple people--it's all a setup. Jose told us the prize was a free 7-day, 8-night trip and that we only had to attend a short 90-minute presentation. The next day at the hotel, everything changed. The "free trip" suddenly had hidden fees, deposits, and conditions. The presentation dragged on for over 150 minutes, not 90, and the staff there treated us rudely when we refused their membership. This isn't a raffle. It's a bait-and-switch scheme to lure tourists. The boat staff know exactly what they are doing and are complicit in pushing people toward this scam. Don't fall for it--you will waste your vacation time, your energy, and be left feeling lied to.

I'm so glad we booked online because it seems like if you book in person they upsell you like crazy. I saw people with "VIP" stickers - VIP means nothing. At best dishonest and at worst, predatory. Once you book they tell you that you'll need to pay in person a half hour before your trip, which for us was 8:30. Once we paid, we were on the bus and moving AT 9 am, so make sure you are punctual. When we arrived to pay 8:30 am, the people at the counter were annoyed that we were there (we must have interrupted their social hour) and told us at their systems were down so we HAD to pay by cash. Ok, sure. It ended up being $65 instead of $58. Keep in mind that every driver and tour guide you have with this company will be aggressively nudging you for tips. The bus seats are very dirty and the stairs are narrow as heck. I saw this tour was advertised as completely accessible. This is not true. If you are a wheelchair user, do not book this tour. The ride wasn't very educational (you can learn more by Wikipedia), but it would have cost us more in car rental or Ubers to explore the city ourselves, so it gains one star for that. The tour guide was also pausing his "tour" to yell at every single person who looked to be a tourist that we were on a tour and they should join us. We were told this tour would be 2.5 hours with an hour lunch break. We were at the office at 8:30 to check in like they requested, and didn't get back to our starting point until 1:30 pm. The only way we could've gotten back earlier would've been to ditch the bus and get an uber or Lyft. At about 11 am, the driver and tour guide dropped us at a glorified bus station (fake turf, 2 toilets, 2 food trucks, a bar, and cornhole) for over an hour, after promising we'd be gone in a half hour and vaguely threatening us to be on time. We did not leave that bus station until 12:30. I called the main office twice to check where our bus was and if they were even still coming to pick us up. An hour and a half wait is insane especially when you expect a half hour. We also did not purchase a boat tour (thank god) so we had to wait on the bus as they tried to get more customers and stopped at every bus stop between the Marina and their office on Lincoln. We didn't get off the bus from 12:30-1:30, and were vaguely laughed at when we asked the ETA. IDK, we had some good points of this tour, but we were not expecting for a FIVE HOUR expedition where they tried to upsell us at every turn, and then treated us like nothing when we didn't pay more or didn't have extra cash to tip since we didn't know we had to pay in cash for the tickets. We lucked out by booking the 9 am otherwise our entire day would've been wasted by being held hostage by this tour company. We were lucky to have the rest of the day after we were finally dropped off at 1:30.

Just add a perreo playlist and you'll feel like you're at Andres Carne de Res in Chia...or maybe that's just me. My friend booked one for her birthday and it was the most fun time. You can book the chiva for 2 hours and it drives you around Miami and drops you at a destination of your choice. We drove around Brickell, Wynwood, Little Havana and ultimately got dropped off in the Grove. The bus has bluetooth so whatever musical vibes you desire for the adventure is totally up to you. You cannot bring glass on the bus, but you are able to bring drinks. They have a cooler loaded with ice for you and the staff is super nice. You can also bring food - but I'd suggest hand held things since you're moving a lot. The best part about the Chiva is that you can dance since there are railings and ropes for you to hold on to while the bus is moving. Do nooooot miss out on the chance to get your Chiva on. I am not sure what the capacity is but we were a group of 12 and it's pretty affordable - we each paid $43. TLDR - book a chiva and live your best life!
