The bus didn't come to...

Ulemj_A, Mar 2026
The bus didn't come to the pick up place What esle is there to say .................................

Response from Host, Mar 2026

We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Our Miami to Key West Day Trip includes hotel pick-up, but it’s important that guests wait outside at the designated pick-up location at the scheduled time. The shuttle does not park or wait for extended periods because it must continue to the next hotel on the route to stay on schedule for all passengers. If a guest is not outside and ready when the vehicle arrives, the driver may need to proceed to the next stop to avoid delaying the entire group. For this reason, we always recommend being outside at least 10 minutes before the scheduled pick-up time. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll consider joining us again in the future to enjoy the beautiful trip to Key West.

It is a pleasant bus ride and nothing else

Tegan_L, Feb 2026
The title is misleading. The only thing you paid for is it round-trip bus fair. There is nothing in the options described that has economic value.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for your feedback. The Miami to Key West Day Trip is designed as a round-trip transportation experience from Miami to Key West, allowing guests to enjoy the scenic Overseas Highway and then explore Key West at their own pace. The tour description clearly explains that the base option includes transportation and free time on the island, with optional activities available for guests who wish to add them. Many travelers enjoy the flexibility of spending the day discovering Key West’s beaches, shops, restaurants, and historic sites on their own schedule. We appreciate you sharing your comments and thank you for traveling with us.

Great option to get to key west

Emily_M, Jan 2026
Great way to get to Key West safely! A couple notes for other travelers: Pickup was on time both ways and the drive was smooth and felt very safe. The bus was quite full but the seating was well managed by the tour guide, who was charming and funny. The phone chargers were USB, not electric outlets. There was a brief breakfast/potty stop on the way down at Key Largo, no stop on the way home.

What singles out this...

Oleg_T, Dec 2025
What singles out this tour from other Viator-provided tours which usually is a decent experience, is tour operator conduct prior to the tour. They called us a day before and specified the pickup place that was 5.7 miles from our hotel. When I asked, can you pick us up anywhere closer to our hotel (which is located on major resort artery, Collins Avenue), I was told: not possible. We had to call Uber at 5:30 am. Upon arriving and after paying $26.92 for the trip, the tour bus was waiting for us. Please note that we were the only ones to get on the bus there. Then that bus started picking up other travelers, and before picking up the next couple the bus passed by our hotel. We were shocked to say the least. All 50+ people were picked up at their respective hotels. Except us. In fact, on the way back we were dropped at our hotel, so it was possible. This unpleasant experience spoiled the overall impression of the tour. Next time we're going to think twice before reserving via Viator. PS. We believe that in those situations the tour operator should consider reimbursing unnecessary costs of the travelers.

Key West, A Long Day But Worthwhile!

Joyce_I, Nov 2025
A Great visit to Key West! A very long ride both directions. Our guide and bus driver did excellent jobs. Our visit to Key West checked off one of our bucket list items. We took a catamaran on a dolphin search. If you love to sale I would recommend another option, perhaps snorkeling. The crew were great but because we were needing to pivot quickly in our search the sails were not hoisted. Just an FYI.

Find a better way

TJ_M, Oct 2025
Unfortunately it was not a fully pleasant experience. The hotel pickup included was changed by the company prior to meeting at public pickup spot in a park (required additional cost for ground transportation) with a pickup time an hour later than the reservation. Then the bus was delayed almost an hour later than that. The very long ride times of 3-4 hours each way should be presented in the intro before reservations. The fully packed bus, freezing cold, noisy, and a neighbor overflowing their seat space made the travelling an endurance challenge. The bus guide was difficult to understand. Kind, but difficult to understand. Arrival instructions from the guide were unclear, leaving many standing with uncertainty how to proceed toward chosen activity options when she simply walked away.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share such a detailed review — we truly appreciate it, even though we’re very sorry to hear the experience fell short for you. Your feedback is incredibly valuable. We apologize for the changes to the pickup, the delays, and the discomfort during the ride. That’s not the smooth and enjoyable experience we want our guests to have. We’ll be reviewing your comments with our team, especially regarding communication, travel times, and clarity of instructions, so we can improve moving forward. We’re glad to hear the guide was kind, but we understand how difficult it can be when communication isn’t clear. Thank you again for your honesty — it helps us get better. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future to show you the quality experience we strive for.
