This trip was a bit of a disappointment. We were picked up at the Embassy Suites at 530am in Ft. Lauderdale and expected to be on the bus, but were picked up by a shuttle driver that took us to the bus, and then for the next 2.5 hours, we picked up alot of other folks...finally made it on the way to Key West around 830am, and we were told we would stop for bathroom at 9am. However, there were 2 accidents that kept us locked in traffic for almost 2 hours..so no stop u til we finally got to Key West at 1230pm..that was 7 hours one way! They told us to meet the bus at 6pm. Now, Key West is a lovely, tourist town, and we are not museum goers or shoppers or tour takers or bar hoppers so we really didn't need 6 hours, but we made the best of it and rented a scooter..that was fun! VERY HOT DOWN THERE so bring water and sunscreen!!! Nice town! Then we got on the bus at 6 and made it back to Miami around 915pm, then proceeded to drop allllll those people off and then at 1030 we met up with our shuttle driver and made it back to our car at 1115pm! It would be nice if the company told you that there are multiple stops before you get on the road to Key West...much better if you just drive yourself. Air conditioning on the bus could be a bit better too. Not gonna do that again ????

Motor coach bus that was used was semi non functional such as seats were broken not able to sit them upright. The compact restroom on the bus was deployable. Very nasty not able to flush, there was a bucket to collect the urine. In the midst of a pandemic there was no hand sanitizer in the restroom. The smell was unbearable. This was a three hour trip to and from Miami going to the Key West. I asked them to clean it and the driver agreed. On the way back the smell was worse. The driver used the restroom and as I stated no hand sanitizer in there. So that means he urinated and did not wash his hands. As he walked back to the front he was touching some of the seats with his nasty hands. Asked for some spray and he got an attitude. He drove 11/2 hours before offering a rest stop, when he did stop the gas station was closed, so he drove another 45 minutes before stopping for restroom. I had to spray my own perfume to try and cover up the urine smell. Not to mention when we got to the snorkeling adventure the changed the site as to where we was going. The people there was answering question with an attitude. Stating that we didn’t have to go, so try to get your money back. Terrible customer service.

We booked for a three hour city tour. They picked us up from the Marriott in a ratty old bus that said Key West on it. Nothing about Gray Line. The PA speaker didn’t work properly so we only heard a bit of the live narration. We passengers started making up our own comic narration since we couldn’t hear anything. The upstairs interior of the bus was held together with duct tape. Seriously. It was clean but really shabby like it should have been retired long ago. We passed buildings that looked like landmarks but heard nothing about them. At the end, I was tired. But the bus stopped at the Bayside Marketplace and dropped off a bunch of people for the boat tour. They insisted we had to go on the boat tour. I didn’t want to go on the boat tour. I wanted to be taken back to my hotel. I half dozen other people also wanted to be taken back to our hotel. Even though more than three hours had a lobster, they said we had to wait there for hours before they would take us back. Then they had the nerve to put out a tip box. I always tip but really? After that? Finally after I called the office and complained they took me back to my hotel after I had to wait an hour for a new tour to start. Very disappointing this is not the gray line I was expecting.
