Great tour, took it at sunset to get all the amazing views. The guide spoke in both English and Spanish and was walking around interacting.

The views were incredible and the value was good! Also, bring some cash to tip the staff, they’re shamelessly let you know they expect it at the end of the tour 😬

Overall, a fun and great way to experience Miami. The tour guide was lively and entertaining. The tour was the perfect length, gave us an opportunity to see the Miami skyline from a different vantage point and it was fun to hear about different celebrities' homes. Our only disappointment was that our tour was scheduled for 1pm, but we didn't board until almost 1:40. It seems they merged the 1pm tour with the 1:30 tour group. I understand that from a business perspective, but if we knew we would be standing in line for almost an hour waiting to board, we could have used our time more wisely. The delay also impacted our timed parking session.

I live in Miami but never did the “tourist” thing unless family came to visit. We decided to do this boat tour. I was put off at the 90 min length at first but once we went on the tour, the time almost went too quickly. The tour guide was funny and informed which kept the crowd engaged. Highly recommend you go at least once!

Such a fun experience. We booked the 7:30 and it was perfect timing for it! We had 2 teens, 15 and 16, and they loved it, especially Star Island and all of the celebrities' homes. The views were incredible, especially once the sun went down. Our guide was fabulous, but I am terrible with names and have forgotten it.

Ricky was a great host. The boat ride was smooth. I wish they would’ve said in advance that they take tips in cash. I didn’t have any cash and felt bad. The photographer didn’t offer to take our photo. The seating was a bit awkward but overall very good cruise and worth the money spent. Views were amazing.

Miami's Top Water Tours was an excellent choice for me and my friends on a Girls Trip. The boat was surprisingly spacious and comfortable with lots of seating. The views were amazing! Our guide was witty and energetic. She gave good descriptions of each building and home prior to arriving there. So, we were prepared to look the right direction and take photos. We took some really great photos. This was one of the best boat tours I have ever been on! And the price sealed a sweet deal!! Definitely Recommend.

Great experience! Everything was straightforward and the company provides lots of reminders and info regarding check in and where to board boat. We were able to bring a stroller on board but not to the sitting deck so be prepared to leave the stroller and take what is needed. Also we made sure to be one of the first in line to board in order to make sure we had seats to sit with our children as some had to stand for the majority of the journey. The guide was very knowledgeable and made sure to come and check in on us with our kids which was appreciated. Would definitely do again!

Scheduling was easy, staff was helpful and professional, the tour guide was entertaining and knowledgeable, and the views during sunset from the boat were spectacular! We were on the 6:30 ride with sunset around 7:30. Perfect time, but a little chilly by the end. Water dripped from the roof onto my chair by the rail so be careful where you sit. There were way too many people on the upper level making it difficult to see homes the guide was pointing out (this is the main reason for only 4 stars). There were at least 15 people standing in addition to approximately 30 chairs. With the chairs you could hardly move around, then people standing where there weren’t chairs made it very tight.

Had a pretty good time. The narrator was very informative with a healthy mix of fun jokes while staying attentive to the safety of the passengers. The crew was very nice especially the bar tender who gave us great drinks (pina colada and mojito). The only negative I have was that I was unaware of the tip jar for crew at end of trip, I didn’t have cash so I didn’t tip, which I felt they deserved. Lastly get there early to ensure you get the seat you want as advised by website. Overall great time!
