Well worth it!”

Miami in one day: city sights, Biscayne Bay, and an Everglades airboat ride. See the value, timing, transport problems, and booking tips.
“While not the companies fault the bus broke down on the bus for a little over an hour before someone else came and took us to our first place. The whole day there was a lack of communication, no really acknowledgment that we sat on the bus for an hour, no compensation for that. Overall, the experiences were fine, but the communication was not great across the day so we’re kind of left wondering what’s next. Also is a bit bothersome that there is no real acknowledgment that we sat on a bus for an hour without air conditioning in Miami.”
