It was a great tour to see 3 things in one day, but it needed better instructions. That wasn't enough direction and a little confusing. We managed to get to all 3 events, with the Everglades been the best. There wasn't enough time on the bus trip to see everything, get food or take pictures, at little Havana and Windwood art/walls. Highly the Everglades tour, but a hop on hop off bus for little Havana and Linwood, as you can take your time.

What a fantastic Allan Day experience first we were taken to the everglades and had a fantastic trip on the air boat and saw a few alligators then returned to Miami and had a full trip around the city where the tour guide was amazing and took us to some great places then we went on a boat trip around the bay. Great value for money

The Everglades was awesome, Captain Jack very informative. The city tour was awesome set up too on the double decker bus seen the whole city from there. The Biscayne bay cruise was ok. We did this cruise a few years back and it was open not closed like today was and I enjoyed it much better open could not see everything due to it you being on the inside I would have rather it have been all open. Just my take on it

Long bus trip to and from everglades then immediately onto city bus tour with no toilet or meal break. Eventually had luncg about 4pm. Ridiculous. Many complaints.

This tour was well worth. can get a bit tired at the end of the day. we did the everglades boat tour first, sadly we count see no alligators . With previous safari experiences i can understand that the sightings can be very rare. But the air boat riding experience was mint, the driver/guide was excellent and nice chatty chap. The city tour was also good were we had free Cuban coffee at Little Havana nad later the boat tour. No complaints we encountered and would recommend.

Firstly they gat you there very early. First part in the Everglades was brilliant apart from the driver demanding a minimum tip. Then a 1,5 hour wait till check in then a45 minutes wait as the bus was 15 mins late. Bus struggled to pull away but they met it go. Only for it to break down on I95. Over an hour later in blistering heat we get a replacement. Little Havana we are told 10 mins so rushed in for Cuban coffee and out only to be ushered in in to an empty bar next door. Then. On the bus. Can’t be late for the boot oh we are. Hurry hurry the boat is waiting for you. Rush on to the boat sit and wait twenty minutes and off we go Be back for the bus 1930 latest it the last bus. So we don’t bother eating back to bus stop. Bus turns up no guide. Drinker parks so older people and kids have to walk over tree roots to board. There was space to pull forward too. Bus left you got it twenty minutes late. Driver had to go get a drink. The worst bit as a break down can happen was not one apology through out was given. Herded like cattle missed free time in Little Havana personally if this is what City Tours is about go to Big Bus do yourself a favour.

The location where tour starts is an unorganized mess! No one is really in charge. They’d rather be snacking on food and talking! They never clearly explained how we were doing all three tours. It was piecemeal information and all tours started late. We did not see any alligators on Everglades ride except the caged ones! Bus tour was hard to understand guide as she had three different languages she was using and had a strong accent herself. Besides having 30 kids on bus yelling and screaming to people on the street! Boat tour was ok but didn’t show much! Boat was playing rap music so loud!! Get a different tour group! Not this one!
