Great fun and full day trip round the city. The guide shared so much info. The weather was a bit poor and still loved the experience. Some great tunes too!
Never forget the trip. Excellent guide. Excellent bus. Excellent Driving. Good timing. Taking good care of everyone.
Great tour! We saw so much, our tour guide Al was knowledgeable, entertaining and helped us get some great pictures 📸 Highly recommend!!
Excellent tour to start you off on Miami, and then pick your spots. Al was awesome and fun. Highly recommended !!
Our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and interactive. Perfect amount of time was spent as each spot along the itinerary
Al was absolutely awesome with his knowledge, humor and personal insights!!
Al was a great tour guide, had a wonderful experience.
Excellent 6 hour tour. 5 good stops (south beach, winwood, biltmore hotel, little Havana) Tour guide Al did a great job sharing info about the city and landmarks in both English and Spanish and was very friendly) strongly recommend to get a nice sample of Miami.
Amazing tour, friendly. Great personality!
Al was very knowledgeable and kept the tour entertaining. It was good to see places you would never have thought to have gone.
This was a great tour. Our tour guide was “Al”. He was very informative and kept us engaged. He loved to play songs to go with different parts of the city. We went to all of the different areas of Miami. We stopped by the Miami Beach sign and had time for pictures as well as having a mimosa. I don’t remember the name of the restaurant, but it was all pink. The medium mimosa was like a large margarita. I couldn’t finish it. We also stopped in Little Havana for almost 2 hours. Lots of restaurants to get Cuban food, cigars, souvenirs, etc. we also stopped by a beach area to get pictures. It was a great way to see Miami. We had no idea how much Miami had to offer until we went on this tour. You won’t be sorry if you book it.
It gives a very good view of Miami. Not the best presentation of the sites but good enough to get a feel of the city.
This was such a fun day! Our tour guide was fantastic
A fantastic guide, very passionate about Miami & made the experience fun and easy for the group.
I joined this tour today and absolutely loved it. It covered almost all of Miami and all of the city’s most iconic highlights, making it a perfect way to explore the city. Our guide was fantastic. The way he presented the information, told stories, and interacted with everyone was engaging, entertaining, and truly unique. You could tell that every part of the tour had been carefully planned down to the smallest detail. We had a little rain during the tour, but it didn’t affect the experience at all. The program was so interesting that we enjoyed every minute regardless of the weather. The vehicle was new, spotless, and very comfortable. The guide also provided water and snacks, which was a thoughtful touch and made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a truly unforgettable experience. I’m very grateful for such a well-organized tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Miami. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Definitely one of the better Miami tours if this is your first time here. Our guide was very knowledgeable, helpful, and even would drive to if you didn’t want to walk to the meeting point. You will be in a AC SUV and drinks and snack snacks will be provided. The only downfall would be some of the sites that we passed by. We should have stopped at for example Wynwood instead of stopping out of church with nothing to do.
Excellent comprehensive tour of the city. Van for small group was nice, although packed with 12 passengers. There was time for great photo shots at each stop We had time for food/meal in Little Havana. Our guide Mimi was very professional, informative, and knowledgeable. Our driver Rene was helpful and generous with the water on this hot day!!
One thing that I didn't like and wasn't aware that this would happen is we were dropped off at one end of the beach to walk the boardwalk for at least a mile from block 15 to 5 at 88 degrees. All there was to see on this mile was hotels and restaurants, not many shops I would have preferred to see the inside of the museum that we drove by. The celebrity houses would have been interesting if you could see the house! We mostly saw trees and gates! I liked Little Havana for lunch. More time there would have been nice in order to see more shops. Getting the snacks and drinks were great on the bus. Overall the tour was good for we saw lots of Miami and learned a lot about its history. The Murals were interesting
The trip started at 10 and ended at 4:15. Al was a wonderful guide and loves Miami and its heritage and history, so it was great to hear from him. He was also quite funny!
We feel like we experienced the favor of Miama on the tour. We are going back to some of the sights to further explore.
Good tour and guide had a wealth of knowledge but 2 issues for us as my wife asked if he could stop at the nearest rest room as i was feeling unwell, we noticed he went past 2 rest rooms before he finally stopped which caused me anxiety as i needed the rest room quickly. second issue was we stopped at a wealthy gated community at he started going into preacher mode outside the church which made us both feel uncomfortable and should maybe be left off future tours. Other than those 2 issues it was a good tour but cannot give it a 5 star sorry!
Fabulous day seeing many neighbourhoods of Miami on one tour. Plenty of intel from enthusiastic guide who clearly loves the city. Very enjoyable and comfortable mini bus. Love the fact I’m not driving. Spent an hour in South Beach covering Ocean Drive and the beach with a little more than an hour in Little Havana for a Cuban Libre and more. Helps plan future stay in Miami and where to focus. Exceeded expectations.
This tour was awesome. I brought two tickets and we missed the trip due to traffic. They reschedule me for the next day but my daughter had to work. I tried to get a voucher for my daughter to attend later, but no one helped me with that even after calling main office. Besides that my tour guide was phenomenal and the tour was complete.
Saw all the major spots of Miami and Miami Beach. The commentary was first class providing history and interesting anecdotes. Thoroughly recommend them.
The tour guide is very knowledgeable and good to express all stories about Miami, from who named the city, until which stores have good food, good drink, or even a good cigar….everything. I feel I know Miami very well now. Thanks to Al.
This was a great tour to start our stay in Miami. Our guide Ali picked us up from the designated spot and drove us around in his comfortable vehicle (there were 10 of us). We viewed all the highlights and spent time at several key locations. It was so interesting, covered a lot and was the best way to become orientated to the city. Definitely recommend and thanks for a great day!
We wanted a tour that did not have too many people and that allowed us to spend time in places like Wynwood and Little Havana. This tour, headed by our knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating tour guide, Al, was the perfect tour of Miami. Al made the tour fun and we were able to experience the places that we truly wanted to see. In addition, we were able to go to places and streets the big tour busses are not allowed to go like Star Island and visit the inside of The Biltmore Hotel. Those stops and others were unexpected and made the trip even better. I highly recommend this tour with Al. You will not be disappointed.
Well done Al. How nice to deal with an independent local businessman (born in the community)who puts his all into his work. The 6+ hour tour turned into nearly seven. Full of good information and well worth the trip.
Great tour. Toured Miami, Little Havana, stars mansions,South beach. Highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide David was the best. Very knowledgeable and kept us on schedule.
Had a great trip with Al. Six in our group and four others. We had an active, but not overwhelming, pace. More than just a drive by, We were left with enough time to do some exploring at the principal stops. As a 50 year plus South Floridian I learned a few things as well. Al was informative and funny.
Ali was fantastic, so full of information and humor. We all enjoyed the trip immensely! We’d told many of our friends about it.
We learned alot about Miami and loved all the places we went to. Ali was awesome. Miami has an amazing history.
Al is a brilliant driver/guide. We had a fabulous and memorable day seeing so many amazing places that we could not have seen ourselves. He showed us even more places than were on his itinerary. Al is very friendly, knowledgable, professional, helpful and good fun. He constantly refilled his supplies of water/soft drinks/snacks for us to use. I would definitely recommend Al and this tour to everyone, it’s fantastic.
Very good and very informative tour. Our guide, Al was excellent and knowledgeable about Miami. Highly recommend.
We learned so much from our guide Al. It was entertaining and informative. Little Havana for lunch was excellent, coconut Beach was just beautiful.
It was absolutely incredible. If you are looking for a tour of Miami that doesn't just spend time in the richer areas this is absolutely for you. We went to many local spots and had many local stories told about the different neighborhoods of Miami and the city of Coral Gables.
Our tour guide could have stepped right out of the Miami vice series. He was hugely entertaining (for some he might even talk too much), knew his stuff and the tour gave us a good overview of Miami’s hotspots (Wynwood, Ocean Drive, Coral Gables, Little Havanna, …).
This trip was worth every cent I paid for it. Our tour guide was a fantastic gentleman; kind, knowledgeable, full of nice jokes and most importantly, a local person from Miami. He dedicated his whole day to us and never rushed us throughout the tour. He showed us everywhere, literally all of Miami. Snacks and drinks were available to anyone who felt thirsty or wanted a nibble. I strongly recommend this tour; don't look elsewhere or have second thoughts about it.
It was the best experience in Miami He drove all over and showed us all the neighborhoods. He even drove into fisher Island and got to see the celebrity homes up close and drove us to Wynwood walls, little Havana, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables and got to see the Biltmore Hotel. Bucket list tour. The driver was very friendly and also got snacks and drinks to enjoy on the way.
We took this tour with Al. Everything was great from start to finish. Al sent a message the night before with very specific instructions about where to meet for the pick up point. He arrived there promptly and we were off for our tour. The day started out rainy, but the tour did not disappoint. We saw so many different neighborhoods and learned the history and culture of each of them. Al was friendly always making sure everyone was comfortable and providing snacks and drinks. He gave us clear instructions about where and when to meet him at each stop. I highly recommend this tour. Al made the day fun and educational. You will go away with a greater understanding of all of Miami.
It is a full six hour tour. Guide is very knowledgeable and organized. Van was very comfortable and clean
This tour truly lives up to its promise of being a comprehensive introduction to Miami. It covers a wide range of neighborhoods and highlights, giving you a solid overview of the city and helping you decide where you might want to return and explore more deeply later on. Pickup was the only part that felt a bit tricky. The written pickup description is clear and accurate, but the visual map could use an update. The location indicator flag shows the wrong spot in the general area, which can create confusion even though the actual written instructions are correct. A quick refresh of that visual would make the process smoother. Once the tour began, everything improved immediately. Al was fantastic, knowledgeable, funny, entertaining, and incredibly respectful. He shared great information throughout the drive, added humor at the right moments, and kept the group engaged without ever feeling overwhelming. His commentary made the city come alive. The tour follows the itinerary exactly as described. You get about 30 minutes in the Miami Beach area to walk around on your own, and about an hour in Little Havana, which is enough time to grab lunch and explore the neighborhood. The remaining stops are shorter (around 15–20 minutes), but they’re perfect for quick highlights and photo opportunities. Throughout the drive, Al continues to point out landmarks, history, and local insights, which adds a lot of value between stops. We really enjoyed the experience. It introduced us to different parts of Miami in a structured, enjoyable way and helped us narrow down where we wanted to spend more time afterward. It’s a great option for first‑time visitors or anyone wanting a high‑level overview of the city. They also provide water and snacks, and the van is comfortable and air‑conditioned, which makes the day even more pleasant. Overall, this was a well‑run, informative, and fun tour. Despite the minor pickup visual issue, I would definitely recommend this service.
We had a fantastic experience on Miami’s Best & Only 6-Hour VIP Full Day City Land Tour. Being a small group made the day feel much more personal and relaxed, which we really appreciated. Our tour guide, Al, was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining — the perfect balance of informative and fun. He shared great insights and stories that really brought Miami to life. We saw many different sides of the city, from iconic spots to areas we wouldn’t have discovered on our own, and the time allowed at each stop was just right — never rushed, but always well paced. Having snacks and drinks available on board was a lovely bonus and made the day even more comfortable. Overall, an excellent way to see Miami in depth, and we’d highly recommend this tour, especially with Al as your guide.
Alex was a great guide. Every energetic and knew a lot about the city. We were given free time to walk around the stops. We do wish we would have had more time in Little Havana but we know what to do there on our own next time.
This tour gives you a great overview of the Miami area. While our guide was a bit over the top at times he really had the knowledge we look for when we take these tours. Overall worth the money.
Excellent tour! Went all over and had a lot of fun. Al was a great tour guide, told us lots about Miami and all the sites. He also had great recommendations. Highly recommended.
This is the only tour that makes sense in our opinion. It’s a small group, you get to actually get out and explore, and you hit every single place and more. The tour guide was fun and lively. Worth every penny.
Great experience great guide lots to see and do very friendly and knowledgeable on everything definitely recommend it
Me and my family liked the tour, I think it was real fun to go out and see the beautiful city Miami. I would recommend it to my friends and family.
