Great Activity - This tour was a really fun way to get out on the water and see some incredible homes, the port, and islands. The host was great and made it for a very enjoyable trip. Based upon photos, we thought we were getting on a bigger boat, but this was a single level water taxi and it was actually a very enjoyable, smaller scale tour than the others loading in the same vicinity, and we’re really glad we chose this tour compared to the other less expensive one.

Below Par - We’ve been on many past Viator tours in other cities, and they met or exceeded expectations. You didn’t advertise how large the boat was or that tickets were being sold on site, so we experienced a crowded throng looking to get onboard, and it was hard to find when the address listed was wrong—thank goodness that it included description of finding boat near Hard Rock Cafe. There was nothing exclusive about this, but had the chaos of a refugee boat with loud music. Half the boat ride was around a ship’s cargo port, not sightseeing expensive homes. 15 minutes of 75 minutes was simply boarding the boat.

Don’t be scammed into this - it was just a way to throw money away. - We never got to get on the cruise, after traveling with a family of 6 by Uber across Miami and wasting our time and money, we arrived at the check in to find a crowd of angry people and a really unprepared and unpleasant staff ignoring our requests for help checking in and finding out where the boat is. We booked for 3:30, got there an half hour early as directed, but the departure time came and went. 5 minutes until 4, we were told the boat would leave at 4 (no boat in sight) and yelled at to wait in line (we were). At that point, we had to leave because the delay in departure would cause us to miss dinner reservations, so we had to abandon the whole excursion and leave. No support from the cruise provider in answering questions and plain rudeness was offered. Never have had such an expensively disappointing experience and didn’t even get to go on the cruise. Whole family was disappointed as we loaded into Ubers to drive back across Miami and waste more time and money on an experience we didnt get to enjoy. Still have not received a return phone call from the provider after repeatedly reaching out yesterday. The whole thing came off as a scam.

Scammees - I have been to Miami close to 7 times and this is the worse experience I have . Very unprofessional and we are group of 10 ppl and they charged extra $15 for 20 mins delay which they asked to reschedule and charged- but they did delay the next boat 40 mins delay just for adding more people. These people are private boaters and scammers. Never ever book this and even vistor is not responsible for these weird

Lack of customer service - We were unable to locate the meeting spot with instructions we were given. Tried to call the number listed several times and no one answered. We missed our appointment and they refused a refund. Poor customer service

Could barely hear what... - Could barely hear what the guide was saying and then when you could it was a language barrier. So it was hard to understand what was being said. Only gave info on maybe 5 houses. Need to update the info or gain more knowledge of the homes and area
