I couldn’t say enough amazing things about Magic City Tours and our host Rafael. He was so accommodating, fun, and so sweet. He drove us around all the must see sights in the city. He had amazing facts and took us to the funnest restaurants and bars as well. We didn’t skip a beat. It was fun from start to finish, plus so much more. He treated us with patience and kindness and allowed us to be our fun wild selfs and made our whole vacation day. We highly recommend Magic City!

We specialize in providing a private, high-end tour with amazing sightseeing and very intelligent interpretation. We combine the opportunity to learn and see all things related to the Florida Everglades as well as an in depth view of Miami and its unique facets. Our Jeeps make this tour Tons of Fun as we can easily do it safari style with the top down, or a comfortable ride with air conditioning in a brand new vehicle. Travelers that are looking to pack a lot into one day should consider this tour as it offers the best of both worlds. The Everglades portion is very popular and year after year we have proved that our knowledge of the area results in magnificent sightings of birds, alligators, and various mammal species. We are also the original Jeep tour company in Miami and have been backed by the park service which issues our permits and re-certifies our guides every two years. Once in the city, this tour is simply the best. We are able to showcase the city like no one else.

This trip was very good organized. I booked it about 3 weeks before the tour, and next day Fabio already confirmed everything. I booked several tours during my this vacation and some tour operators never confirmed. I understand that during pandemic a lot of tour were canceled, but why you still sell them. Who wants during vacation spend time to communicate and wait for refund. These guys were great: everything on time. Pick up and drop off as promissed. Clean bus. Guide Tamara was very nice and knowledgeable. Driver ( Sorry, I don't remember your name) did a great job. I can't imagine to drive such a distance by myself. I chose trolley tour in Key West: I just wanted to see the town. I didn't need any water activity (I could do it in Miami beach). Trolley tour was amazing. Tips: take about $100 cash p/person with you because they sell activities before you come to Key West, price is cheaper, but they accept cash. You don't want spend time looking for ATM (you need every 5 min in this charming town) and pay fee (even couple dollars) because they have just a few banks there. It's better to stay overnight (hotels are very expensive, but you are so exhausted on your way home) to get felling of real relaxation from this wonderful small town. And 6 hours are not enough if you want to see more: museums, lovely streets, cozy restaurants. I'll definitely come back for a couple of days next time. Even if you book 2 one ways tours, it'll be cheaper than fly to Key West from Miami...:) Price of this tour is great! And it's so amazing to go by bus on all these bridges, but to do it in one day is very difficult. It's for young people only :)
