Excellent Customer Service! - There was a misunderstanding with the operating hours of the shuttle on the day for which I purchased advanced tickets for 9 people. It was a holiday weekend, so we thought they were operating by the peak season hours. When we arrived to the Marina where we were supposed to board the shuttle, we learned from the travel desk that the shuttle service was already closed for the day. This was our last day in town, so we couldn't use the tickets on another day. The people at the travel desk called Max and handed the phone to me. I told him our situation Max was very polite and said something I have never before heard in customer service for similar situations (though many of us probably feel it should be normal to hear such a thing). He said that if we paid for our tickets we should get our service. So he arranged for us to be picked up then and there for our ride to the South Beach Marina. They arrived in ten minutes. During the ride, both the guide and the captain, Christopher, were very friendly and pleasant company - no one seemed upset or resentful. This, in my opinion, was the best customer service I have ever experienced.

Mr. Darren Campbell - My wife, 2 friends and I made use of the All Day Pass yesterday and found it the undoubtedly best value we have found in Miami. As tourists, (Australia) we found the staff very friendly and knowledgeable about miami beyond the parameters of the service. Full marks to the company. It will be a treasured memory.

Not worth it, - We booked a tour for snorkeling. Showed up 45 minutes ahead of time just to be told, that they don’t actually have a tour planned and that weather is not that good anyways. Asked me when did. I book a tour (i booked it 5 days ahead of time, not as it matters) I asked for alternative and they put as in this water taxi tour, which is also operated by them. As a result we instead of 1.5 hours of snorkeling we got a trashy boat ride. Taxi itself is old.

Save your time and money - Terrible experience. Stay away from Miami Tours. We booked an expedition with them through Expedia so we didn’t know any better, but the Hop on Hop off tour, along with the boat is their tour. It’s like $35. Go read the reviews if you need proof. Horrible people, customer service, punctuality, and organization.
