The guide was an ex-columbian who was very informative with a tongue in cheek approach and the use of his MP3 player.As well as information on the sights he had the ability to involve us all in the presentation by using christian names to personalise the presentation. All in all everyone was involved in the show.He also clearly knew some... More

The vehicles are not maintained well. Break down constantly! NO REFUNDS even after we sat there for an hour waiting to be towed. OWNERS ARE GREEDY! Customer service is non-existent!

This was a great way to enjoy Miami Beach. The tour guide is very informative and guides you through the streets of the historic art deco district before plunging into Biscayne Bay for a tour of the "rich and famous" homes along the bay. We had a great time with our quackers all around SoBe. The tour is only about... More

Being a Miami native I spend my days and nights out and about. Quite frankly I didn’t think there was any tour that would be able to tell me something I didn’t know about South Beach. I was pleasantly surprised when I booked a Duck tour for 6 over spring break for my mother’s birthday. I truly wanted to write... More

The tour guide is very cheesy and the music not always to really to my taste, but this was a lot of fun. We got caught in a bit of rain shower, but not too bad really. Guide was surprisingly informative considering his sense of humour, and kept things rolling along really well. He also offered to take photos of... More

Ok, so I'd read the reviews of this tour and was curious to go on it. This is the best tour I've been in. Not only do you take a nice tour of South Beach and Miami Beach, but you also go into Biscayne Bay and take a closer look at Star, Hibiscus, and Palm Island and the houses of... More

Okay. I'm not sure how one person can love going on the saaaame tour multiple times, but if anyone could make me do it, then it's the Duck Tours. Every time I go on these tours I feel like it's my very first time all over again. The tour guides are great, I always learn something new and I love... More

Great tour. Dripping with sarcasm, the host poked fun at the glitzy side of South Beach and made the tour very enjoyable. Great way to spend an afternoon. It transitions from a bus tour to a boat tour and gives you a good perspective of the Miami area.

We took this tour on a beautiful Monday afternoon. Great overview of South Beach and Biscayne Bay, with a fun tour guide. Easy to find, and hated for it to end!

We went on a Duck Tour in New York a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a very unique concept as the tour vehicle travels on both land and water. South Beach by land is very scenic, while the water portion passed the homes of the rich and the famous. But anyone who has taken any tour... More
