We had it cancelled literally 10 minutes from arriving in the keys I’ve been given no update regarding refund and Viator and gray line Miami have been very frustrating to deal with. Total incompetence in regards to customer service and professionalism.

Beware of Gray Line Miami SCAM
Khoa_P
, Jan 2022
Beware of scam by this company: Gray Line Miami. After booking a snorkling trip for 3 for $370.00, bad weather caused the snorkling portion of the trip to be cancelled, so they did a partial refund as expected. However, this is where the discrepancy comes in: they refunded only $160.00, meaning they are charging us over $200.00 for the ride from Miami Beach to Key West. To put it in perspective, this same company has another listing on Viator for the trip only without snorkling for only $49.00 per person. That means they're over-charging us for our ride by over $50.00. When reached out about this discrepancy, their rep gave us the run around to contact viator and have viator contacting their manager without any actual result. Also, even though they have the option for you to manually type in where you're staying, they don't actually pick you up there. They just use that to determine where you needed to go to get picked up at 6am. We had to catch an uber to another location when there's another pickup point 2 blocks from our rental which their rep didn't tell us about (we found our on our way back to Miami Beach). Driver and host were awesome, nothing against them, but I'd rather spend my money elsewhere instead of this agency. Very shady and not being upfront. Overall, I am very disappointed in the trip as our entire purpose of going to key west was to snorkel. Not only was it cancelled due to unexpected weather, we ran into issue with the refund amount, making it a waste of a trip. Shop elsewhere guys, make sure your tour is not operated by Gray Line Miami. Avoid them at all cost if you don't want to run into the same issue as us. I should have listened to the bad reviews before booking. Lessons learned.
Big group, but felt safe
Jill_H
, Dec 2021
The driver and tour guide were great, most everyone wore masks and we felt safe, but the bus smelled like the toilet in the back. It’s too long of a drive from Miami to have to smell that there and back. Also, this is a big tour group on the bus and the snorkel trip (40-45 people), so if you like something more personal, I would choose a different tour.

Fun! Needs a little more time there so cut out stopping for breakfast
jamie_c
, Aug 2021
Everything was great. The only issue was it felt rushed doing the snorkeling experience since we stopped for breakfast on the way down. It would have been better to warn people to eat before pick up or bring food. That way people have more time in key west to shop and choose a restaurant and experience the town. We arrived and had to go right to the snorkeling spot and when we got back we had an hour and a half roughly to try to eat and see the city which was not much. If breakfast was not stopped for that would have given more time to see key west. We had to uber to the two spots, the southernmost point and back to the bus station, or we would have missed both.
The snorkeling was amazing however and our tour guide was awesome!!!
The expectation was not as expected

Rough travel but the island is worth it
Koby_K

Key west is beautiful, that bus out there need some work though. Seats are broken so you’re laying on the person behind you or someone is laying on you and the AC doesn’t work. The drive there and back is rough but the island itself is worth it. Highly recommend snorkeling!

Never riding a bus again EVER
michael_c
, Apr 2021
I really enjoyed the snorkel part of the trip. I hated the bus ride from Miami to Key west. The ride was very long. In retrospect I think that is too much traveling in one day for 3.5 hours on the water. In addition the bus was very uncomfortable. Everytime we hit the slightest bump it felt like the bus was going to break apart from the impact. One other thing is that Viatar sent me to the wrong location for the excursion. Luckily I was able to find the right place with a few minutes to spare.

Better than the reviews below!!!
Lindsey_T
, Apr 2021
The bus ride was not nearly as bad as the reviewers were saying. You’re tired from waking up early anyway so you can either sleep or look out the window and see all the keys on either side as you drive down to key west. Our guide was great. We stopped an hour in to get breakfast and continued on the way. He talked a bit about the keys and when we got off the bus he took us exactly to the snorkel area and even gave us more time to explore after the snorkel trip! The snorkel trip was great, the waters were choppy but once you got in it was completely clear to seeing the fish and sea life below. They gave us refreshments after and it was a great time. We then had two whole hours to explore key west and eat. We then got back on the bus around 6ish and it was a pretty quick ride back to Miami. We got back around 10:30pm. You’re so exhausted from the day most people fall asleep and you don’t even realize we are already back. Definitely one of the best snorkel experiences I’ve been on.

Anna_O
, Mar 2018
It was a trip with double decker bus , thus there were a lot of people on the trip. Because of that the pick-up delay occurred and we waisted some time waiting for others. In the bus, the toilet is reserved just for 'number one', what was repeated by the guide several time. At the beginning it was funny, but taking into account that there was just one stop on the way to the key west, and none on the way back, it was not funny anymore.
Catamaran and snorkelling was fun, however coral reef was not very visible due to the windy weather, so we just haven't been lucky. Nevertheless I recommend it . The team on the boat was super nice, and helpful, and it all felt very safe.
SUMMARY: go to Key West, but find another operator who will drive you there in better condition, time and for cheaper price.

Kim G
, Apr 2016
The sailing part of the tour was fantastic, and I'd highly recommend a day out on the water to appreciate the tropical feel of the Keys. However, I was expecting a bit more from the bus tour down to Key West - it was basically a shuttle service that stopped at McDonalds and dropped you at the wharf to then go find the snorkeling tour. I only had 50mins before and after the snorkeling trip, which wasn't really enough time to see or do anything else. As a result, I don't feel like I know much about Key West from the experience apart from walking past the many t-shirt shops and bars. Snorkeling trip - 5 out of 5, bus trip just a 1 I'm afraid.

You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
