Top Miami Bus Tours - page 2

My 13-year-old son wanted to visit the Everglades. Along with his stepdad, we all boarded the bus. Little did we know we would have such a wonderful storyteller. Our tour guide’s name was Raphael and he provided us with in-depth history about Miami, South Beach, man-made islands and Over Town! I must be honest, we did not expect all of the information provided, but were grateful. While in the Everglades Captain Josh took us to find alligators. I think we saw spotted at least four. I’m very grateful that we took the trip. On the way back Raphael even gave provided restaurant suggestions! This trip was well worth it for a great family adventure.

Tommy was phenomenal. My family and I enjoyed tour. . Were we’d able to take great pictures. The graffiti walls were perfect for our boys and Little Havana had some of the best authentic Cuban food and the coffee was delicious. The weather was perfect.

This tour started at our hotel in downtown Miami (Hilton). Häagen was our driver and tour guide. I got a text via Viator saying they would pick us up at the hotel at 7:30am and he was there at the exact time. He was an excellent driver and guide. Very friendly and helpful. He gave us info on what we were seeing downtown while we picked up other people. We only had 9 people on a Banana Joe tour bus that could have held 18-20. We got to Everglades Holiday Park 30 minutes before our airboat tour was to start, plenty of time for restroom breaks and a quick stop in the gift shop. He picked up our wristbands for the airboat for us and we were #1. He explained how the day would go and that he would be there when the tour was over. The airboat held about 25 people and was covered. Be very careful getting in and out of the boat. You have to duck your head to get in or out and the floor of the boat has ridges that can trip you. We saw 3 gators on the tour which they said was a little low but that’s nature for you. After the tour Haagen was there and handed us the group photo that had been taken before the boat ride. The photo was included in the admission. He told us there was an alligator show next and that we would leave on the bus at 11:45am. The show was a single guy talking about the gators in the little stage/habitat and he spent about 10 minutes interacting with one. Very interesting and at certain times amazing how calm he was and the gator was. After the show we had 20 minutes to use the restroom and/or shop. We boarded the bus at 11:15am and dropped everyone off at their hotels. If you get Haagen as your tour guide you will be very pleased. He is from Germany and has been here 18 years and is very friendly and helpful.
