Enjoyed trip around islands. Day was beautiful. The narrative could have been a bit more engaging to have enthusiasm.

Meh

Jontel_B, Apr 2024

Honestly, i was lead to believe it was going to be a glamourus tour of beach houses for millionaires, it was mediocre most of the houses were hidden by trees or under renovations. Me and my husband kept falling asleep from how bored we were.

Would not do it again.

Octavia_Y, Feb 2024

The tour guide was great. He kept having to tell people to move and stop blocking others view. They did not listen. People stood in the front of the boat the entire time hogging the view. It was ridiculous. On top of that the two workers that try to get you to fill out raffle tickets talk too loud and laughed the whole time like they were not at work. I could barely hear what the tour guide was saying. Majority of the problem was the passengers themselves, not the company per se.

Amazing View of Miami’s Sunset

Arlean_P, Dec 2023

The cruise was an amazing deal for the price. I enjoyed everything from voucher redemption to photo purchase at the end of the cruise and everything in between. I took the sunset cruise, departing at 5 pm on Dec. 9. The sunset and decorative lights in the homes and businesses were breathtaking. The narration and music complemented my videos very well. I highly recommend this cruise. It’s on my Must Do Again List!

Scam with a View

Adrian_H, Nov 2023

The Miami water was beautiful and the mansions luxurious. But the trip was tainted when we “won” a free boat ride from ‘Holidays Network Group’. It turned out to be a trip, which was actually a time share scam in which we had to pay a $40 deposit before we finished our boat ride to secure our free trip which would be refunded when we booked the trip. The catch was that we had to sit through a 2 hour presentation at a hotel 40 minutes from ours. When I tried to call/text the man about it, he didn’t answer or return a text. Do not sign up to win a “free” trip on the Millionaire Row tour. We really felt violated and taken advantage of. We trusted them because they were associated with a reputable tour company. It was a costly lesson. If you someone gives you this number, 954-610-8418, run. Take the ride, leave the “gift”.

Your not too old to enjoy life!

Sharon_P, Oct 2023

The Captain and his staff were wonderful! I took my 87 year old mother on the tour along with her walker and that was my biggest concern was are the people on this boat going to be attentative to her needs. Sure enough, they were so helpful and kind in getting her on and off the boat that it made for a wonderful experience for my mom. Just because your old, doesn't mean you can't enjoy life and with your help she had a really great time! Vessel was very clean and the staff were very friendly and professional.

Not for wheelchair users

matthew_f, Sep 2023

I called ahead of time to make sure that the trip was wheelchair accessible and it was anything but. I was unable to get onto the tour with my power wheelchair and it was a very embarrassing situation. I did not get a trip I did not get a refund and I would highly suggest not booking this if you are a wheelchair user
