Taking the flight and reaching the FLL had cost us an entire day, we took us from Cambodia and arrive at the Miami after 16 hours. I know it is a lot of time to spend on traveling, but the important thing is that we joined and reached the tour right n time. The tour guide was there to meet us at the airport, they saw how tired and frustrated we look after that long, the tour guide took us straight to the hotel rooms where we get to close our eyes for a moment and take some rest. We appreciate the kind efforts by our tour guide who was a great guy. However, on the first day, we still had some of the optional tours in Miami, they wanted us to not miss exploring the nightlife of Miami because many people travel for far region’s just explore the lively nightlife of Miami. So, we got up and went on this tour to see the nightlife, and took the ship cruise of Fort Lauderdale. The next day went to Key West and the final day was to explore the Everglades Park and the Miami city. Thanks a lot, guys! We enjoyed the days on the tour!
Liam
Was it compulsory for us to go to the Everglades National Park? I don’t think so. The rain already started to pour and the weather got a lot chillier than before in the morning, so we didn’t feel like exploring the Everglades national park, although the park was huge and the majority of the park was covered in the mud from the rain and we couldn’t walk farther. The management should make some policies regarding the people satisfaction since, at the end of the day, the thing matters are that we had fun or not, it’s about the great tie, everyone on board with us was excited about the tour. The hotels in which we stayed were economy class and we slept really well on both the nights. Also, I think there should be more places to explore in the Key West region, I’ sure there is plenty of things to explore in Key West rather those museums and bridges we only got to witness. Great tour guide!
Hyrum
The first day on the trip was absolutely the best one because at the very evening when almost all the passengers are checked-in at the hotels, the tour manager took us to the optional tours, we chose the Fort Lauderdale tour which had the cruise on the river through the millionaire row, we witness so many wonderful mansion, the views of the city absolutely spectacular, and we felt obligated to film all those great vies through our digital camera. Another best thing about that cruise is that they had a buffet system while cruising, like we were a cruise and having the meal at the same time, it couldn’t get any more perfect. However, we had to go to the Miami Beach area where we had to spend some time while exploring those famous beaches, and we saw so many bars, cafes, and the restaurant was lined up by the beach. The Miami beach is getting famous and famous each day, and there is plenty of things to do there. Overall, the tour was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

The reason for us to board on this bus tour from Miami was to just explore that city with the great guidance and stops they have on the three-day schedule. I liked the online facility of booking the tour seats, it has now gotten a lot easier to search for our favorite places and departure locations and then click the tour to book it. It was the very first time in my life that I have gone for the vacations on the bus tour with so many people, although we decided to rent a car in the city and do the exploration all by ourselves but still that included many things like stops, hotels, and food, therefore, it was perfect us to book this tour. Anyways, I fall in love with the great services they offered us and I have just found the paradise of tours. The good services and discounts are the primary reason why I would board another tour in Florida.
Harlow
It was lovely being part of the journey which already wants to be in Miami, exploring those gorgeous and never-ending beaches with an amazing culture. Paying for the three days on this tour seemed a little expensive as compared to the things they offered us, we were helpless and we had to hop on this journey just to have some great days in Miami. The tour operator told us to reach the airports earlier in the morning so we didn’t want to miss anything on this tour, and he was right about that, we reached the MIA airport straight from Toronto, and as we landed in the city, the tour guides were already there for us waiting. They welcomed us to their tour and took us to the hotels. I liked how they treat their guests, very friendly and respectfully. Loved spending time at the white sand beaches, and the view from there is absolutely amazing. Thanks for this great us tour.
