1 day tour to the key west…read more Our tour guide/bus driver was CINDY. She was so GREAT! 10/10! I booked my reservation online at : https://miamidoubledecker.com/ and made my payment at the south beach office/pick up spot(305 Lincoln Rd, Miami Beach, FL 33139) that morning that you are picked up-$40 cash only Cindy picked us up right on time in a double decker bus. She was nice enough to do a mini city tour as we left the city. She had a great attitude the whole way through and made sure we were comfortable before we left (seeing if the air conditioning was ok and if anyone needed translation in Spanish). She gave us a return time after the 6 hour free time at key west, warning us about how expensive it can be to Uber back but not in a threatening manner(I've been on tours where the bus driver was actually going to leave us stranded if we didn't return on the dot). She made sure we were all on the bus before we left. We even got back 30 min early. They offer discounts for the hop on hop off while you're on the bus(cash only)

Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY from Miami Tours. This was, without a doubt, the most…read moreunprofessional and dishonest experience I have ever had with a travel company. We booked a tour for April 18, 2026, and arrived at the departure point at 9:00 AM. At 9:10 AM, the staff told us we were "late" for check-in and claimed the driver didn't even show up because "no other passengers had checked in." They refused to help and told us to try our luck with another company a block away. Here is where it gets ridiculous: We went to the other company, paid $35 (Miami Tours charged us $50), and got on a professional, punctual bus. Ten minutes later, that bus stopped right in front of Miami Tours to pick up more passengers. The EXACT SAME STAFF MEMBER who told us their tour was cancelled and that there were no other options boarded our new bus to escort the group. When I confronted him, he pretended he didn't know us. The Aftermath: Zero Accountability: I have sent multiple refund requests through their website--ignored. Abysmal Service: I called their office four times. Every single time, the representative hung up the phone on me before I could even finish explaining the issue. Better Value Elsewhere: The competitor a block away is not only $15 cheaper, but their schedule (10:20-20:50) is far superior to Miami Tours' restrictive 09:30-17:00 window. They took $50 for a service they never provided and are now actively dodging my calls. Save your money, save your time, and go to the more professional operators nearby. This place is a total sham.

We showed up at 9:10 AM, exactly as instructed, only to be told our booking had been moved to 11:30 AM without any notice whatsoever. No email. No call. Nothing. Just "oh yeah, it was changed." From there, it was 30 minutes of standing around, being sent back and forth between employees who clearly had no idea what was going on. Eventually, we were told we'd receive a refund and a free boat tour as compensation for the inconvenience. Sounds reasonable, right? Except when they went to process it, they tried to charge the boat tour tickets against the refund credit -- essentially undoing the compensation they just promised. If we hadn't been paying attention, we would have been charged anyway. Luckily, we caught it, demanded clarity, and only then did they issue a full refund and actually give us the boat tour tickets for free like they said they would in the first place. The boat tour itself (celebrity homes) was fine -- nothing special -- but that's not the point. We're locals who intentionally tried to spend the day as tourists, and this experience made it painfully clear how miserable this must be for out-of-towners who don't know better. Disorganized, misleading, and careless with customers' time and money. Miami deserves better than operations like this -- and tourists definitely do.

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. They give you headsets that let you listen to facts and information about Miami. Overall the experience is what you make it.

The airboat tour was decent but we were told to listen out for announcements for the animal show & bus departure, which neither of us heard. At least one other group didn't hear the animal show announcement too. There was supposed to be a complimentary professional airboat photo, but ours got lost. No estimated time of departure was given & we didn't see some people on the bus on the way back. The driver didn't seem to do a headcount before leaving. Granted, he did warn us that we would be left behind if we weren't there when the bus left, but a headcount & a short wait for stragglers are pretty standard tour practices. The lights on the bus didn't work & the bus seemed a bit old too.

We went with the cheaper deal on Groupon. The duck boat was parked in front of a park. We got there early so there was no line. The boat was really clean and new looking. There was the captain and the narrator, both were dressed like pirates since the theme of this boat was a pirate ship. They were both friendly and informative; the narrator did a great job with hosting and telling jokes; keeping us awake. They drove us around town and pointed out different buildings and landmarks. The coolest part was when we drove from land into water! It made a big splash but we didn't get wet. We cruised by mansions and other boats. They did a great job with the tour and I'd definitely recommend it. Bring tip money.
