Really great activity! I recommend it 200%. The English guide (even if he is not bilingual) makes the visit super nice with humorous notes on the stars' houses and alternates with festive music! The tour is ideal at 5:30 p.m. because we start in the sun, then great light for photos and the beginning of the sunset and finally we finish the tour at night in front of the illuminated skyscrapers! The cocktail is overpriced ($30!!!) but it doesn't matter... because the cruise is very reasonable.

A 1-day ticket (Red Tour) is not enough for all stops, so you should either book the 2-day ticket straight away or just choose 3-4 stops to see at your leisure. I found it unfortunate that you cannot start the tour at any stop, as you can ONLY exchange your voucher for a ticket at the Bayside Kiosk. But otherwise it's great!

The pilot was cool and very confident despite his young age. Great flight with a few gusts of wind over land, in the sea area everything was calm and perfect. Recommended for every visitor to Miami.
