I don’t even know where to begin. First of all, there are so many over grown trees, etc that riding on the upper deck was dangerous. Second the guide made some joking comments that were at best, in poor taste, towards some Hasidic Jews who were on our tour, and IMO were racist. We rode inside the bus for much of the tour, me by choice, and my family because there were no seats above. I have NO idea what was said on half the tour because the sound system wasn’t working correctly. We stopped in Little Havana and were directed to coffee, mojito, and cigar stores, none of which we were the least bit interested in. Plus that took so long that our “hour to eat and shop” at the market became 30 minutes. They basically shoved us into one restaurant that supposedly had a “quick menu.” It was horribly over priced for wretched food. We had 5 minutes to eat by the time the food got to our table. They also had the audacity to charge an 18% tip automatically. They messed up there because we always tip higher than that. Speaking of tips, we were hounded constantly for tips.
Once we boarded the boat, we couldn’t hear the announcer saying what we were seeing because of some really loud timeshare pushers. I had such a bad headache by the time we were halfway into the trip that I just wanted it to be over. The trip back to our car was a crush of people trying to shove onto the bus.
I would never recommend this trip. I have a high tolerance for a lot of things, but this trip was 5 hours of boredom and misery.
