What To Expect

Begin your full-day trip to Key West with a handy pickup from your Miami hotel in an air-conditioned coach with a restroom on board. Sit back and enjoy the journey across the many islands and bridges of the Florida Keys without having to watch the road as someone else drives. Stop for breakfast en route (own expense) and learn more about the area from on-board commentary.

You’ll have six hours to explore Key West at leisure. Choose from three optional activities to suit your interests: snorkeling, parasailing, and a glass-bottomed boat tour, or a combination. There will be plenty of time for relaxing on the beach, shopping, and dining, too, and your guide can provide recommendations.

Your return transfer to Miami after the tour is non-stop so you can nap if you like, and will even get back in time for dinner.

Friendliness of driver and tour guide. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. Absolutely no issues with our experience. And pickup and dropoff from our hotel was perfect. Other tours did not provide this option. I do wish we brought food or snacks for ride back to hotel. We were very hungry.

Relaxed and easy going day trip at Key west
Ayush_M, Mar 2024
Smooth and informative tour, tour guide was helpful and everything was on time and as mentioned. There was a loud group on the bus which made it hard to sleep on the bus for all 8 hours, but everything else was okay
Harsh Airconditioning Made For A Tough Ride
Leon_S, Mar 2024
I took the trip with my girlfriend from Miami Beach. The bus, which was a double-decker, picked us up on time. Sitting on the upper deck made for a great viewing experience. The tour guide was really helpful in providing relevant facts along the way. Also, if you are on the fence regarding the additional activities that you can book, the tour guide will explain each of them in detail during the trip, and you can book them then and there - but only with cash. Unfortunately, my girlfriend had a terrible time since the AC blew directly at her, and she got sick afterward. You should definitely bring additional clothing for the ride if you are somewhat sensitive. Personal items can remain on the bus while you are out and about in Key West, which is great, too.
spectacular
Ursula_M, Mar 2024
We booked the tour through Viator. It was very easy. The organization, punctuality, friendliness of the driver and guide - everything was very good. The route is spectacular. We would do the tour again at any time
nice experience
yuyang_z, Mar 2024
the guide and driver did good job. on time and safe. key west is an amazing place. what else i can say.
Deceiving
Danitra_H, Mar 2024
The travel was good, the problem is it was no beach near the drop off place. We would have to Uber to the nearest beach that was 5 miles out. If you want to just tour and walk the Key West this the route to go. The only little beach that we want to was Simonton Beach it was really SMALL. All activities was sold out!
Scenic views
Tamira_F, Mar 2024
The views were beautiful and the time spent in Miami Keys was excellent! We went on a tour around the town and visited the southern post point!
I don’t like surveys that are pushy
Izena_B, Mar 2024
I just downgraded my experience from 4 to 2 because of this survey…. I said it was a great trip & weather was great but u kept asking for more info instead if being satisfied with that! 🫤
5 stars
YoungJae_K, Mar 2024
Great trip. Orlando the guide and Manuel the driver were a great team! If you want to check out Key West just for a day while you are in Miami, I highly recommend this trip with them.
Relaxing
Deanna_B, Feb 2024
The tour guide was amazing as well as the driver. It was a fun trip. It was a relaxing 6 hours at key west.
Key West is good- bus ride disappointing
Beverly_F, Feb 2024
Most of the day was great- but I think they could do better than stopping at a McDonalds for breakfast. Also our tour guide Orlando told us to follow to the place arranging excursions- then took off on us and another couple- not cool
Key West Fun!
Lola_L, Feb 2024
The tour was a lot of fun! I read some negative reviews prior to booking and now that I've experienced the tour, I can speak on it. Pick up/drop off was timely. Luis provided great information of Key West and tour options. Bus was clean and the temperature was very comfortable. The wifi was spotty but not a big deal if you can use your cellular data. Many charging outlets on the bus were not working; this should be corrected or just ask people to bring their portable chargers if they need. Communication on what to expect during the ride was great. Traffic to the Keys was horrendous but it did not affect the trip. Manny got us there as quick as traffic allowed! And Luis kept informing us of how traffic was moving and other great information on the Keys which kept us entertained. We decided to go on our own and we enjoyed ourselves very much! We went to The Southernmost Point ( be prepared to stand in line a bit for pictures), Ernest Hemingway's house ($18 adult $7 child admission), Truman’s Little White House. Sloppy Joe's was an amazing time!!! Great music, fun drinks and food. We tried the conch fritters and they were delicious! It was explained to us that they no longer are sold in the streets due to being "regulated". The key lime pie was delicious too!! Next time we will try the trolley tour. Overall it was a very fun trip and we recommend this tour company.

Luis was awesome. Informative, alot of fun and entertaining, ad well as a fabulous dj. I will definitely be booking with viator alot!
This was a fun day and...
Jean_W, Feb 2024
This was a fun day and great way to get a taste of Key West. Beautiful ride down. Great driver and very clear on expectations once we arrived. Biggest downfall was the trip back. Very long. We left Key West at 610 and we arrived back at hotel at 1045. Dropping off at every single hotel of all 79 of us was very time consuming and exhausting. Although a convenience- a central meet up and drop off location would be ideal. Thank you for a safe and fun day!!
5 star service
Eloisa_A, Feb 2024
The service was superb. I really love all of the experience. The bus is in good shape, the driver and the tour guide was excellent in their job. They give all their best to give a 5 star service. I would really highly recommend it.
A little on the weak side
Bradley_D, Feb 2024
Driver and guide were good but the bus was a little on the old side. Not as comfortable as I expected. And it is a very long day
Great trip
Amanda_C, Feb 2024
Enjoyed this incredibly affordable ride down to the Keys. The commentary was great and the bus was comfortable.
Perfect day to walk the island
Kathleen_F, Feb 2024
Such a great way to visit Key West for the day. We did not do an excursion but spent the day walking around the island. It was the right amount of time to see all the sights and eat a meal and have a few drinks. Perfect day!
a awesome experience
Joaquin_O, Feb 2024
our tour guy orlando and his crew was nice and courteous definitely we recommend , the city and everything around wonderful
One of our best coach trips 🤩
Jackie_C, Feb 2024
Our tour guide on the bus gave us lots of information during the bus journey to Key West. An early start but we did a breakfast stop at McDonald’s. We had 7 hours at Key West and well worth the long day to experience the vibes of this beautiful place
Long day but excellent day.
