I loved the ease of travel in a very busy city! It was especially busy this past weekend due to a marathon and there were many visitors to the city. The sites of Miami are very unique and beautiful and the recorded guide information on the bus was clear and informative. I learned so much about each neighborhood including the history, architecture and the culture of each place. I also appreciated that the guided information was in many languages for all visitors to enjoy. It was a wonderful experience!

I've done a few of these and this was the first one that took the bus on an interstate...riding the top was like a roller coaster!! I enjoyed learning with the audio while we rode. I didn't like the online ticket drained my phone battery. A sales rep said the bus manager could print one for me, but that was a lie.

Great time and very fun experience. Feeding the giraffes to feeding the birds was the highlight of the day for my son. Will be back soon to visit again.

I had a wonderful experience at this zoo! The animals looked healthy and well cared for, and the entire place was clean and beautifully maintained. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help. It’s a perfect place to spend time with family, especially with kids. I truly enjoyed my visit and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend!
