We were picked up at the hotel on time in the morning. The guide was very nice and helpful. During the trip he talked a lot about the Keys and about the life of the people there. He tried very hard to make everyone feel comfortable on the long drive. The bus driver drove very well. In Key Largo there was a short stop at Mc Donalds where you could get a breakfast burger and a coffee. A great thing, since it starts very early in the morning. During the trip you had the possibility to book different tours, which we found very good. The guide always made sure that everyone was on the bus, which gave a safe feeling that nobody would be forgotten. The six hours on site were almost too short for us to discover everything, we would have liked to have had a little more time. If you want to discover the whole island, we can recommend the trolley tour. The ticket costs $47 per person and you can ride the trolley all day.

Incredibilmente favoloso! Una giornata all’insegna del divertimento, scoperta e relax! Il viaggio purtroppo è lungo, ma ne vale la pena! All’andata anche una sosta per la colazione al McDonald. Dopo il giro il centro tra negozi, ci si imbarca per l’avvistamento dei delfini che si sono avvicinati alla barca, come per salutarci: FAVOLOSO. Poi siamo scesi dalla barca per un po’ di snorkeling e ci siamo divertiti anche lì a guardare il fondale della barriera corallina. Dopo essere risaliti in barca, un ottimo aperitivo offerto dai responsabili della barca che sono stati veramente eccezionali in tutto! Esperienza da fare assolutamente. Enjoy

Der Bus hat uns leider erst nicht gefunden, doch als wir angerufen haben waren alle sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Uns wurde ein Uber geschickt, das uns zum Treffpunkt des Buses fuhr. Der Busfahrer war super nett, wir konnten noch die Schnorcheltour buchen, die absolut empfehlenswert ist! Insgesamt war es ein sehr schöner Tag mit holprigem Start.

Loved the experience will definitely do it again with our kids … Thank you Tony & Raum

We had so much fun. Would definitely recommend this tour to everyone
