    The trips we did with Miami Tour Company both to the Everglades and City Tour + Boat Cruise was very exciting.

    Both guides were wellknown with the places of interest for us foreigners. They did a good presentation and we will recommend Miami Tour Company for friends either they'll have a Cruise to Carribian or just travel to Miami.

    Thank you very much for the sightseeing tours arranged by Miami Tour Company.****

    Best regards,

    Wenche & Erik Steen

    We have just arrived back in the UK (its cold!) and I wanted to update you on the tour you arranged for us yesterday.

    Firstly, I want to tell you that Gregoire Eugene from Universal Limo did a great job for your company. He picked us up from Port Everglades on time and delivered us to the Intercontinental Hotel in Chopin Plaza in good time. Unfortunately the hotel refused to store our bags, even though we offered to pay a fee. Panic set in but Gregoire took control and arranged for our bags to be stored at the Continental Hotel on Bayside. This worked very well. He then contacted your office to arrange for the tour bus to pick us up at the new location. We thanked him very much and arranged for him to take us to the airport at the end of the day.

    The tour was first class, we thoroughly enjoyed it all and especially want to mention the driver, Jim, who was excellent and took great care to ensure that we were happy and safe all day.

    What a wonderful way to spend the day after a cruise and before a very late flight home.

    Best regards to you, Jim and Eugene.

    Hola Mirna,

    Muchas gracias por tu ayuda. La excursión fue excelente. Mi familia tenía un montón de diversión.

    I took the Miami City and Boat Cruise combination yesterday and had the best time. This was my way of getting re-aquainted with Miami. Our driver (and fellow Googler), Jim was great!!! He made an already exciting trip even more fun...what a great personality he has!!! The monitors on the bus were fantastic as I was able to follow along where we were going so I would know what intersections were where and how to get to places on the tour that I'd definitely like to revisit on my own. One question, though, would MTC ever consider longer tours of the city?? It just seemed like the 4 hours went too fast!! Thanks again for a great tour...I had a blast!

    Jorge, our driver, was very good and the tour was interesting. One improvement, in my opinion, would be to include a little more history and obscure facts about the sites and locales. As far as basic tours go, this one was enjoyable.
