It is a long day, but we'll worth it. The Guide Luis was very knowledgeable and helpful he had plenty of time for everyone. He was also helpful in booking excursions in Key West for people who hadnt already booked. Be prepared for the heat, loved the playlist on the coach.

The experience was excellent, Luis and Milton did their best to make us feel very good, they were very responsible, respectful and punctual. Luis described us and showed most of the interesting places in Miami and the route to the Keys. He explained additional activities to the tour and we managed to see many dolphins and snorkel. Thank you very much

No complaints, received what was expected. Although there were optional activities, there was no hard sell and all was explained clearly.
Mark_J, Apr 2026
It's a long day. Several hours in a bus there and back. Six hours at Key West. IMO much easier than trying to drive myself. There was plenty of time to see and do anything you wanted. A great trip. Tour guide and guests are all pleasant and friendly. A great worry free day trip.
Adrian_C, Apr 2026
The first part of trip was great! Getting there and Key West was awesome. On the way back the AC broke and was miserable for 5 hours. Terrible!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your feedback.
We’re glad you enjoyed Key West, and we sincerely apologize for the A/C issue on the way back. Sending a replacement bus would have taken the same amount of time, as it would need to come from Miami, and traffic would not allow it to arrive any faster. We truly appreciate your understanding, and we are so sorry for the inconvenience during the return.
Martim_F, Apr 2026
Key West is a must. Really cool tour. Also I would like to thank the crew for making the bus drive easier. Recommend!!
Beverley_L, Apr 2026

This was the happiest day of my trip to Miami. Our guide was a truly fascinating person—very humorous and witty. Although the journey was long, it was filled with joy. I will definitely recommend you to my friends. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Steve, Apr 2026
Great trip. Exceptional views. Lots of history from Louis. Many was an excellent driver. I recommend paying a little extra to sit in front row of top deck. Ask Louis for recommendations on what to do in Key West! The ride there was as good as the time spent in Key West. Highly recommended!!!
Steven_W, Apr 2026
Time is tight. Its a long drive to and from Key West and with multiple stops to start and end the trip (to pick up riders at individual hotels), you get about 5 hours in Key West.
We signed up for a 2 hour excursion that fell into the middle of the day, so we ended up with about 1.5 hours before and after the excursion. It's a reasonable amount of time, but there is a lot to do in Key West, so you will have to make choices.
The next time we go we will likely not pick an excursion before we get there. We will likely decide as we go and see how things fit into the day for us.

The bus window was leaking water from rain.
No water bottles were provided.Driver was too slow and we reached late at 12 instead of 1130 as told.Nite also we reached very late close to 11PM.Not happy.
Stephanie_D, Apr 2026
This trip was pretty good. It didn’t start off great because they were multiple buses showing up to pick everyone up and they were from different companies, so most of us had no idea which bus we were supposed to be getting on plus the language barrier was also pretty rough. But once the transportation was straightened out and we got on to the correct bus everything from that point was very nice. The bathroom on the bus was porta potty like and women were advised to sit on the toilet which in my opinion is very unsanitary. So I tried my best to avoid it at all cost.

Better than traveling using rent a car. We did the best thing by booking viator.
I used viator before and is never disappointing.
Alexander_R, Apr 2026
Great experience worth long drive. Unique places, has been my 3 time and impressed. Alot changes has been made Key west.
Stephen_R, Mar 2026
Pick up at hotel in the morning was punctual and efficient. Journey down to Key West was filled with fun facts from our tour guide Lewis and he provided ample information of what to expect throughout the day. A great way to see Key West in a day & a very enjoyable experience. Well worth the effort.
Anna_S, Mar 2026
I had a really great experience during my one day trip to Key West with family. I booked last minute and received all the details about time and pickup location promptly.
lasvegas1966, Mar 2026
Bus was on time, Manuel (driver) excellent driver taking precaution and Orlando explained was to expect during and after the trip. This is my first time with Viator and I had a good experience. 100% recommend.
Belinda_S, Mar 2026
Luis, the tour guide was great. We were in a double decker bus and the passengers were upstairs. He gives you a little history as you make your way to Key West, which I thought was helpful and interesting. He was gracious, kind, considerate and helpful. Once in Key West, you can explore on your own or do one of the tours. I opted for the Glass Bottom Boat tour and that was lovely; a perfect day. We even saw some dolphins on our way back to the dock! Just be sure to make your way back to the bus on time or you will be left behind. But that’s the customer’s fault and not the company. Luis gave everyone the address numerous times. The seating on the bus was so-so but I wasn’t expecting a limo. All in all it was a good value for the price and a lovely, lovely day.
Amy_R, Mar 2026
This is a fun and fast day activity. Wear good walking shoes and be prepared for a cool bus ride in the morning.
Cheryl_W, Mar 2026
Very very good 👍🏾😊 Love this tour 💕 tour guide was really nice and informative for all of the tour
Matteo_A, Mar 2026
Great day and weather besides the lovely view experience. Not sure whether swimming is possible since we could not find any beaches. Very recommended experience but you need to have something to do in the bus since it takes 7 hours in total to commute back and fro
Paul_M, Mar 2026

Kathryn_D, Mar 2026
Best trip ever! Our Miami to Key West trip was amazing from start to finish. Luis made sure to point out all must see landmarks on the way, which made the ride just as enjoyable as the destination. Huge shout out to Luis and Milton for being so friendly and helpful and making the whole experience better. I highly recommend this trip!
Vicki_K, Mar 2026
Great to be able to relax and let someone else do the driving. Good amount of time for exploring Key West. Bus driver was phenomenal! Watching him navigate downtown Miami traffic in a double decker bus was amazing! 👏
Haorui_C, Mar 2026
The guide was friendly and the whole experience was good. However the WIFI on the bus was poor and I can not charge my phone when I was back
