What people are saying about Biscayne Bay

Such a well-run operation. Everything was perfect from the open bus tour to the boat excursion. Would highly recommend booking through GYG too as it was considerably cheaper than buying tickets direct.

Beautiful day on the water learning the history of surrounding buildings, islands, the port, celebrity mansions, etc… with a tour guide who was energetic and funny and knowledgeable.

Great way to experience the bay and surrounding islands and the architecture of Miami. Tour in Spanish and English and well done.

Adventures by land and by sea in one ride! Unique experience that was enjoyed by adults and children in the group.

It was very nice travel by bus around Miami. It was a good choice and I recommend it to everyone.
