Good and cheap opportunity
W.K. ·We went on the Key West tour through our Go City pass and had the probably best time of our Miami trip! The bus tour itself is a little bit long with almost four hours but you get to see beautiful sceneries on the way and won't be bored for the most part. There is also some Info from the tour guide which was very good in our case. The only sad part can be that you 'only' get six hours to explore Key West before the bus takes you back from where you started but it's still a lot of time which you should plan to fill properly with activities to make the most out of it.
Un simple viaje en bus
Juan ·Varios detalles lo alejan de una actividad turística. El lugar de recogida decía que era en Ben's Pizza, al lado de las 10 banderas, pero realmente era a una cuadra. En el momento en que me entero, voy corriendo y le aviso al guía que mi grupo viene en camino (con personas mayores y niños). Aún cuando no es mi responsabilidad qque cambien el lugar de recogida su respuesta es que se muevan rápido porque ya va a arrancar. Luego nos subimos y, después de ubicarnos en los puestos, al final llega el guía y dice que para sentarnos en esos puestos hay un cobro adicional. Entonces nos toca movernos de puesto con el bus ya en movimiento y separar a nuestro grupo. Finalmente, se supone que es una excursión; uno esperaría datos interesantes en el recorrido, pero únicamente es información promocional de las actividades que ellos venden para hacer en Key West. Como medio de transporte funciona bien, pero como plan turístico deja mucho que desear.
Day Trip Experience
Leina ·took the gray line with my boyfriend for our anniversary! Was on time, fast, and very informative throughout the drive!🤩
Belle excursion
Linda et Ismaël ·Merci a Rolando et Cindy pour ce trajet. Key West est très mignon. On découvert de nouvelles saveurs culinaires. Merci a Cindy pour les recommandations une fois sur place.
Great time
Lucy ·This is a pretty good and affordable choice for someone who never visited key west, however, the bus rides are pretty long. And there is only 6 hours at the key, but you would be back to the city within the day which could be great if you are short on time. Key West is very beautiful, I would love to visit again!
It was okay
Eliza ·The AC wasn’ stronge bough for me . Tour guide was nice help and acco mmodating
