About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- carolynbY127AY0 contributionsReasonable transportI did travel to Miami, and I would normally use trip advisor, but the quote was too high for me, so I opted for other transportation.Written July 14, 2024
- Alison B0 contributionsOk but wouldn’t do it againIf I did this again I would go straight to park myself. Lot of wasted time taking bus. Also saw no wildlife and airboat ride was mostly of floating around looking for gators. Would have liked more of ride on boatWritten May 26, 2024
- andrewcD4672LD0 contributionsGreat experienceAll star has been wonderful, van 44 driver Tony Brown was attentive to our needs, friendly and was early to the terminal to pick us up and drop us off. Will definitely use them again for all of our transportation needs.Written April 7, 2024
- AClark1420 contributionsExcellent ServiceAll stars has been amazing! Ready for my family as soon as we got off the ship! Tony Brown was our driver and he was very pleasant and friendly! 10/10 recommend!Written April 7, 2024
- 67craigi0 contributionsGreat experience it badly managedThe airboat ride and show was excellent. Unfortunately communication when at the park was troublesome, clear instructions were not provided and many guests from multiple groups had no idea where or when they were supposed to go. Due to this we were frustrated and confused.Written April 1, 2024
- 2Media_Docs0 contributionsRocky start, then a good trip.We booked transportation from our Hampton Inn and Suites Hotel (Blue Lagoon} to the Miami cruise port. We were not pushed for time, which was fortunate. The driver was 15 minutes late because he went to the wrong hotel although we had scheduled with the correct hotel name and address. It took 3 calls to get him to our hotel. He spoke little English. Once we connected, the ride was fine.Written March 23, 2024
- mheisler970 contributionsBest ride ever!Picked us up in Fort Lauderdale, Jose was pleasant and a safe driver!! He drove us to Miami, not once did we get worried about his driving!! We will definitely use this service again!!Written March 15, 2024
- simonhM8011BQ0 contributionsNot for usIf I was to go again, i would arrange it on my own. Bus was old, and the driver was rather careless. The show after the trip around the Everglades was outdatedWritten March 11, 2024
- 936LisaW9360 contributionsDisappointedChaos. Poor communication. Bus driver was hard to understand. Tour was not 10-2 as stated, we did not return until 3:15. Halfway through boat ride operator turned boat around because of incoming weather, and cut our time on the water in half, yet other boats headed out to begin new tours. Boat tour was abysmal, tour guide barely spoke & gave very limited details. Complete disappointment, would not recommend.Written March 11, 2024
- Departure7599200 contributions😞Uninformative, tacky, bad jokes, short ride, saw one alligator, closed top boat, then the guide asked for tips. We were not impressed with the alligator show either. Truly wished we leaned something. I’ve been other airboats tours that I’ve loved. Sadly, this was a complete waste of time and money.Written February 22, 2024
- GrandTour156326221140 contributionsNice driver and vehicle, but too costly.Our flight arrived at 630pm, pickup up was supposed to be at 7pm. But at 7pm I got a text asking to let them know when we were ready to be picked up. They had our flight number and could have easily checked that the flight was on time. So I texted back at 703pm And didn't get picked up until after 730. Thank goodness the weather was nice and so was the driver. It was just my husband, myself and our 4 kids who were starving and tired from a day of travel. It was pretty costly for 6 people. Plus a tip. Anyways I don't know if I would use it again for such a small group of people, plus I would expect them to be there at 7 as was stated on the reservation.Written February 15, 2024
- SylviaS9240 contributionsWorth itWe had a very informative tour guide, went above and beyond to find us some wildlife. Some some gators. It is close to.miami, worth the tripWritten February 9, 2024
- Tommy B0 contributionsArrived 45 minutes lateWe booked this service to transfer my family of 7 from our hotel near the Miami airport to the Port of Miami. I contacted the operator after waiting 15 minutes past our scheduled pickup time and was told the driver was 5 minutes away. After waiting an additional 30 minutes I ended up catching a different ride.Written February 8, 2024
- H5548MZraymondc0 contributionsAlligator SightingsFun tour not too far from Miami. We got to see some alligators and even saw an alligator show. Good experience for the price!Written February 2, 2024
- Marcia M0 contributionsGreat experience!It was worth it. The bus trip was smooth and the Everglades boat was a lot of fun. We actually saw 4 Alligators within 1/2 hour, which is pretty unusual. The Alligator show was also fun. Overall I would recommend it.Written January 13, 2024

I booked directly with MyTravels & Tours on their website based on the reviews here on Trip Advisor and was subsequently given a tour by the 305 Miami Tours Group instead (which had much poorer reviews here on Trip Advisor). I checked with 3 different people at the 305 Miami Tours kiosk as well as called MyTravels & Tours directly and they all confirmed that I was on the right tour. I went along with it thinking that maybe MyTravels & Tours partnered with 305 Miami Tours for the City Tour portion and it would get better once it got started, but I was wrong.
The tour itself was ok, but it was not what I expected. I booked from MyTravels & Tours specifically because the reviews implied that this was a smaller group tour (i.e. tour van vs. double-decker bus) and that they would visit places that aren't usually on other tours (e.g. Coconut Grove) but the tour I received only took us to Ocean Drive, Wynwood Walls and Little Havana. We basically drove by Ocean Drive (didn't even stop), was dropped off at Wynwood Walls and Little Havana and told to return to the bus within a specific time (20 min and 40 min respectively). Although the guide gave some limited commentary prior to our arrival at each location, he did not come down and guide us around once we were dropped off. We were basically left to explore on our own.
I had booked the City Tour Miami Plus package so it also came with a boat ride (operated by a different company), which I actually enjoyed and hence the two stars, but I admittedly felt deceived that I had purchased one product directly from MyTravel & Tours and was given another product by a different tour operator.
To say I was disappointed with MyTravels & Tours is an understatement. Given my experience, I would not book another tour with them again and I would not recommend it to others. If you read this and still decide to book, I hope you have a better experience than I did and will not be subject to a similar bait and switch.

Dear customer,
We are really sorry you didn’t enjoy the tour as we all expected. We don’t use a 3rd company to provide the City Tour, except if the day is sold out and we receive a reservation after the cut off time( 8:00pm). This was your case. Thank you for bringing these comments to our attention.

I scheduled and paid for this tour and then my airline cancelled my flight to Miami from BWI. That evening I emailed the company and explained my situation. The next morning at 10am when the tour was supposed to start I received a call from the tour guide and told him my flight was canceled and that we were driving down from Baltimore, MD but would not make tour and that I had emailed the co. He said "ok they will handle it". I have since sent 5 mails with no response. We rescheduled the tour thinking it was a really good one and so I now have paid for it twice (for 3 people). Took the tour today and it was just ok. I tipped the tour guides and then went to get on the ending boat trip. I only brought a certain amount of cash with me but had credit cards. When we went on the boat tour at the end the tour guide told us how his salary was only 30% of what he made and that he depended on the other 70% from tips. I had no other cash and he made sure to be where each passenger exited the boat with a large white tip jar. When I went to get off he gave me a hard time about not tipping. I did not have any other cash so could not tip. Felt very put out by his attitude and felt that maybe he should be paid more rather than begging for tips.

I booked the private version of this tour, expecting more interaction and local history. Unfortunately, I got neither. The tour driver spoke very little and when he did it was very scripted and rehearsed. I was hoping to hear little known details from a local. The locations we visited were just ok, but overall I was not impressed and wouldn't recommend this tour.

This was a great tour! I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone that lives in Florida and wants to do a fun day trip to get away or to anyone who wants to get a flavor of life in Miami. The boat tour was awesome, our tour guide, Jonathan, was fun and seeing Millionaire Row was very cool. They moved our boat tour to the start of the tour rather than the end because of predicted rain, which was a good decision so we didn’t miss out on that part of the trip! The bus was not a double decker like we expected, it was a private enclosed tour bus but this didn’t hinder the experience at all, plus the air conditioning was an added bonus. We got extra time to walk around places like Wynnwood, Ocean Drive, and the Venetian pool which was great! The tour guides for the bus were also very informative and fun and we’re knowledgeable about any questions we may have asked. The tour is definitely worth the price! Be sure to bring cash for tips and for some vendor stands.

We liked experience 2 level bus. We expected to stop at a couple places in the city but we stopped at only 1 location where our guide suggested to try “the best mojito in the Miami”. It was $12 and it was the worst mojito. Boat tour was great! But don’t buy drinks on the boat, it’s also overpriced $14 mojito. After boat tour our bus did not wait for anybody. Us and bunch of other people have to wait till the next one. Likely they go every 15 minutes. At first we thought we have to get back to hotel by our own because our guides did tell us that buses are going every 15 minutes.

The experience was absolutely horrible. It was raining upon her entry to the bus. There was very limited seating inside of the bus, people had to stand up and hold onto the polls in the bus. My girlfriend had to go up top on top of the bus while it was pouring raining because there was no place to sit as she was drenched. When we finally were able to get settled into the bus, we found the bus absolutely disgusting on the inside. The windows were cracked. The interior was filthy. The seats were dirty. There was debris and dirt on the floor. Also, while it was raining rain and rainwater was dredging through the top of the ceiling inside of the bucks. Upon arriving to Little Havana, we were told we only have 30 minutes to eat. We didn’t get a chance to do any sightseeing in Little Havana before we were hurried up on the bus again. While Wade, while getting off of the bus, we asked the hostess why weren’t we made aware of these accommodations? She stated, very rudely do you know what you pay for this is it. This was an absolutely horrible travel experience. I do not recommend anyone going on this travel experience at the accommodations were filthy, and the hostess was very rude. Then they had the nerve to ask us for a tip.

The City Tour Miami Plus needs to do a complete itinerary on stops as it shows on the page (complete in stops and times in stops). They don't answer their phone, and as many times I tried to leave a message the answering machine was always full.
I wrote to them an email with my comments and concerns and so far I haven't received a response.

Our guide went above and beyond to make this a great experience for us! Would highly recommend! I couldn’t believe how much we got to see and do for the price. Our guide made extra stops for us to take pictures and when we were running behind in little Havana due to slow service at our restaurant, he went and brought our next stop, the Cuban coffee tasting experience, to us at the restaurant, so we wouldn’t be late for our bay cruise or miss out on the coffee. It was an awesome day!

Really enjoyed this tour! It was exactly what I was looking for when only having 1 day in Miami. The itinerary was super clear and really appreciated the ad having full transparency with the tour… My only request would have been to spend slightly less time in Little Havana and more time in Wynwood… By the time you got off the bus you needed to get back on. We were given a little over an hour and a half in Little Havana which was way more time than needed, and only 15 mins in Wynwood. I would have paid more for the tour to include a lunch to cut down the time needed in Little Havana. Aside from that, it was really nice to explore different parts of the city. Also the fact that a boat tour was included with this was just the cherry on top. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who has limited time to see the city!

On the city tour+boat tour is the boat ticket included. What is the duration of the boat tour
Written February 9, 2022
The ticket was included, the ride was about 45 mins give or take. If you didn't want to do the city tour, you could just do the boat ride by going to Bayside Marketplace and heading towards the piers, there is a little stand where you can buy just the boat tickets.
