Jema
We had booked our tickets early and so had comfortable seating arrangement. Indeed an enjoyable tour to the south beach that was looking cool and superb. The stay in the hotels was no less convenient that it could be regarded as next to home. There was a warm reception and the hotel staff took good care of everything. The room was very clean and especially the bathroom. I am a bit particular about keeping clean and they just read my mind. The bus also was good, so was the lunch, breakfast and dinner options that we recommend a 5 star honestly.
Rockey
The Key West Tour was fabulous. We arrived at each place at the right time. On arriving at each place we followed the schedules and no one was left behind. Our tour leader or guide, whatever he is, he took good care so much that it was very difficult to leave him as the tour got completed. His English was very simple and basic to understand, it was a great pleasure to meet him and the advantage was that his Basic English was easy for my 3 year old to understand and so he did not irritate us with questions. I give 5 stars.
Disung
This was absolutely a wonderful way to explore the Minami and Key West. The price seems quite high but it was worth for it. The views were pretty and places were mind-blowing. South Beach is a crazy place, beautiful beach, lovely people and a lot of fun. The tour was overall great but I am not satisfied with the hotel arrangements.
Raghav
This tour for 4 days was good. I came rushing and had to wait for the guide to receive us. He was late by 20 minutes and he apologized. This was disheartening at the very first instance, but later on during the entire tour, there was no flaw. Everything went as per planned schedule and it was a happy tour. The co passengers became a family like and it was like our own tour that we had organized. All the time the tour guide came with information, some would push him with questions while others would just listen. It was fun.
Leela
My husband booked this tour one week before. The bus picked us on time. we were very excited as this was our first traveling experience through any bus service. It was really worth, we spent hassle-free time no tension of driving, bookings and etc. The route was beautiful and the places were amazing. We took so many pictures. At the key west, must try the yummiest Lobster food. Special thanks to Mr. Long Our tour guide who guides us properly and recommended available activities. Highly Recommended.
Ariyan
I recommend this tour for 3 stars. I went last week with this tour and was pleased with the bus arrangements, the hotel stay, the response from the hotel , the eating places, lunch or dinner and the tour guide. The bus traveling was really comfortable. Our driver was very informative and entertaining. We got to take plenty of photos. Unfortunately, I forgot my new bag with a flask on the bus, which I bought in Key West. I contacted them immediately and they said it will be sent to the hotel. But, I had to literally contact them 5 times and then I received it.
