Great way to get to Key West

5.00Louis was friendly and helpful. The driver was awesome and it was a smooth trip. There was a bathroom that was clean and there was available hand sanitizer. The only negative: The seats in the bus were a little worn and not the most comfortable. Also, there are no foot rests so it was even lore u comfortable because I am short. BUT, it was GREAT not having to worry about driving.

5.00Bring a sweater or blanket for the bus ride, other than that trip was a good experience. Recommend the trolley so you can experience the whole island.

4.00Our experience was great. The operator shared good information. I left off a star because the bus was freezing which made for a somewhat uncomfortable ride. I would definitely recommend this tour, just layer up to stay warm on the bus.

2.00There was no advertised Fort Lauderdale pickup, so we drove 30 mins to park for $100 for the day in Miami very early to get good seats together as a family. After 1.5 hours and a number of other pick ups, staff said they were having a “technical error” with the bus and crammed us into another bus already mostly full, forcing us all to split up for a very long ride that takes most of the day. They advertise wifi but do NOT provide it. And spend most of what should be a relaxing ride out to Key West speaking way too loudly over the PA constantly trying to upsell their excursions. They also had entire defective windows fogged up for the entire drive so one could not even enjoy the scenery as you drove, which for us was the whole point of taking a bus. On the way back the whole bus smelled so strongly of lavatory waste on the upper deck it woke me from a dead sleep and had my boyfriend retching. I cannot imagine what it would have been like to be sitting next to it. I would not recommend this company at all and I never bother to leave reviews, this was just so bad.
Perfect

5.00Absolutely amazing day! Charlie and Ali were so skilled and knowledgeable about both the dolphins and the ocean in general. Great information on the boat and we felt safe with them. The music also gets a 10/10. A perfect day!
