Everything listed regarding the trip came true. Our driver/tour guide was very helpful with every step of the way. The suggestions were taken and they were very much appreciated. Examples included where to eat, where to shop, driving to Miamiso I didn't have to, driving around the city, and finally what to look for along the way. The only suggestion I would have would be to have a cooler filled with bottled water.

Very long and rushed day which started off with the coach being over booked so passengers had to get off, with Paul from Florida Dophin Tours publicly blaming Thomas Cook for the error...bit unprofessional really. We had been up since 4:30am to be ready for a 6am pickup which didn't set off till nearly 7am! Headed off late on a 4 hour trip to the Everglades, it was great there, great boat ride and sights, but when we docked were then rushed round other animals as the trip was running late. Headed off then to Miami South Beach, didn't get much time there as wonderful as it was before we were herded back on the coach to head into central Miami, Bayside Market are for the Star Cruise and shopping...were rushed round that, only got time to grab lunch at 3:45 pm before we had to get on the Star Cruise boat. Nice cruise although disappointed to learn that half the houses they pointed out turned out to be former residence of a number of stars NOT homes they have know! What a swizz :- Docked back after the cruise, no time to shop then headed back onto the coach for a 4 hour trip back to Orlando. So many great sights to see, but they were crammed in and you couldn't enjoy them as much as you'd like too. Would not recommend this trip to anyone who wants to soak up all Miami has to offer.
