Terrible. No guide showed up. Waiting for refund.

Mary_R, Feb 2026

This was a terrible experience. No guide ever showed up at the pick up spot. My texts to the tour operator went unanswered. Neither the phone number for the tour operator nor its website was operational. I am still waiting for Viator to refund my payment.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Mary, It personally pains me to read this review. There’s no valid apology and I am so sorry I do not have the chance to provide you with a tour of my beloved city. Our website and email was in fact down, we are trying to understand why Viator did not provide a direct working phone number so we could have at least addressed the issue when it happened. We did not see your booking on our platform and with the lack of email communication we may have missed any notices about it. Again, I am so sorry for the missed opportunity and I am personally working on making sure they refund you. My direct line is 3057755683 info@tonsoffuntours.com Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. We hope there’s still a chance to provide your with a great experience during this visit or in the future. Kind regards, Jhon Operations.

Superlative Tour and Guide

Winnie_S, May 2023

Jon was extremely knowledgeable and effortlessly switched topics when we asked off-topic questions. He could not be stumped on Miami geography, neighborhoods, history, waves of Cuban immigrations, the Art scene (not just Wynwood), environmental issues, or marine animals in Biscayne Bay. Wow. He is a delightful guide and host and very considerate of 3 seniors who aren't that mobile. We felt like we had a comprehensive tour of Miami, and would highly recommend this superlative tour. Worth every penny--without a doubt. Book it!

This tour is a must do to understand Miami

Regina_H, Oct 2022

We got to see more of Miami than we would have seen on our own. And the history of Miami is very interesting. I love the Art Deco style buildings and the street art is beautiful.
