Our tour guide was very nice and seemed knowledgeable about Miami however, this tour was NOT about movies at all. In fact, See the filming sites of Dexter, CSI Miami, Golden Girls, and more - these movies/shows were never even mentioned . He did mention a NetFlix special when we passed The House of Versace but no other film locations were specifically mentioned. Our teenagers were bored senseless until we got on the boat and saw houses belonging to some of their favorite sports players. The hour-long boat ride is definitely the highlight of the day.
Weve taken movie tours in San Francisco, New York and Hawaii which all featured actual movie footage along with the location being pointed out. Our kids like to go back and watch the movies or tv shows after visiting the locations but that wont be possible this time. Wed been telling them about Miami Vice, Fast and Furius, CSI Miami, etc but they were never talked about. This was a good tour of the city and celebrity homes but, unfortunately, thats not what we signed up for nor expected. Also. It was very distracting when the guide had to say everything in two languages back-to-back. We could have over-looked that if we seeing actual movie footage or locations but, as it was, we were trying to research online and point out things to our kids ourselves.
For the price, this was very disappointing! Were huge fans of TripAdvisor and were excited about the tour in the beginning. My husband and I would have enjoyed it as a city tour but we wouldve never paid to take two teenagers had we known the content.
If youre looking for a general tour of the city, then this tour is for you. If youre looking for a movie tour, this is definitely not it!
