“Miami Beach Duck Tour - Fun and Interesting!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 7, 2013

Went on the Duck Tour while spending a few days in the area prior to taking a cruise. It was fun and we learned some interesting history, facts, and trivia about Miami Beach. Our tour guide was a woman named Dee Dee Duckworth who did a great job (she said that was her real name!).

We did a Duck Tour on a whim and it was well worth it! What a beautiful way to see Miami! We had a very knowledgeable tour guide who pointed out all the little things along the way and made the tour very interactive. He was surprisingly good at remembering everyone's name on the boat. He also taught us how to order a Cuban coffee which everyone should learn how to do when in Miami because it is a must! This tour is highly recommended when wanting to see a lot of the city on a tight time frame.

“Tons of Fun!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 11, 2012

Six family members recently took this tour from James Avenue in South Beach. Great way to see the homes on private islands,such as, Star Island and Palm Island. The whole experience is interactive. It was led by a great women from New Jersey. The best part is riding up Ocean Drive and getting the inside scoop on all the bars,restaurants and people. Good way to spend an hour and a half.

“A lot of fun, not a standard tour”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 8, 2012

I'd been on one duck tour before (Austin, TX) but this was a lot more like a comedy show and almost more of a tour of the Hollywood stars homes on the various exclusive islands than a tour of South Beach, but the important thing is that you absolutely get the fun, party vibe of Miami. Our guide Richie and our driver (Captain) Willie were great. We did see a lot of Miami art deco (not as impressive as I thought it would be although the neon at night may make the architecture more distinctive), learned a lot of Miami history, saw a lot of fancy boats and mansions, took pictures of Biscayne Bay, and enjoyed people watching on Ocean Drive as we cruised down the street in a bouncing, amphibious duck boat. All in 90 minutes. Definitely worthwhile.
