Key West Day Trip from Miami by Bus

I wish we spent maybe another 2hrs in Key West that day, but all in all it was a great trip. I loved both the bus driver and the man narrating the tour. He didn’t speak the entire time and only told us important things along the way. He was super nice. My son and I were able to relax and just take in the views along our almost 3hr drive from Miami to Key West. I would not recommend the hop on hop off trolley. It was a great idea but there wasn’t enough time to keep waiting for another trolley to come by and pick us up. My son and I wound up walking to all the destinations we wanted to see. It’s tiresome and lots of walking but we are young enough and were able to handle it. It was definitely beautiful and we had a great time.

The trip was okay once we made it there! I took a trip to Key West on 4/23 and the driver literally almost hit 3 people in rear end. Not sure if he was gazing off at the beautiful site or just not paying attention, but all 3 times he was inches away from hitting the car in front of him. We had to steer to the middle lane one time and off to the shoulder another time while wondering if we were gonna get slammed in the back of the bus!

TERRIBLE, the Driver was an A#$^hole! The tour guide HAD 0 personality. They were not friendly at all. I wish I would have booked with someone else, this was literally the worse excursion I've ever been on. I'm a travel agent and I'd NEVER EVER recommend this to any of my clients.

This company was really not friendly and rude. They said they would stop at McDonalds and did not. They where very unorganized. And they said no eating on bus when you on there 8-10 hours.

We are so glad that we did not have to drive this long trip ourselves. We were able to relax and enjoy the ride while viewing the scenery. the trolley really helped us get around town. would have enjoyed a few more hours as the time flies by so fast.

Bus ride was long and boring. Couldn't see anything from lower seats all top floor seats were taken when we boarded. Information given to us along the trip was insufficient tv and a hostess who yelled into the microphone and was not easily understood. When reaching Key West, where we had chosen the snorkeling tour, we had to wait for all other activities to board their buses and then had to rush, by foot, to get to our activity. Why weren't we dropped off by bus? Snorkel trip was great fun but the weather was windy and ruined the water activities.

Bus, driver and tour guide were fine - trip is 3 hours each way and as cramped as an economy plane flight. Key West was interesting but we found it very commercialized and a pricey crowded tourist shopping experience. Our chosen glass bottomed boat tour ate up 3 hours of our time in Key West and after our trolley tour of the area we found we had less than an hour to do anything else which precluded touring the Truman Summer White House or the Hemingway House or much of anything else so budget your excursions carefully and expect to do a fair amount of walking on bricks and semi-uneven ground. I guess our major complaint is the amount of time in Key West compared to the 6 hours in the bus and the crowds in Key West.

A long but very enjoyable tour. Key West is spectacular and the drive from Miami is also quite pleasant. We took the trolley tour in Key West. The guide was fantastic and kept us laughing, while he gave all kinds of intetesting information on Key West. The old town is fascinating, with its lovely restaurants and shops. Trumans White House and Hemingways house were interesting side tours. We had no problems with hotel pick up or drop off. The only negative thing was that the bus guide said very little and had a strong accent. She Liz was busy selling tickets for tours in Key West. We essentially got no information from her and wish the company would screen for better and more knowledgeable guides.
