I work in the tourism business in Miami Beach and constantly refer visitors to Perfection Travel. They are a great travel agency with an assortment of additional services provided such as money exchange, luggage storage and notary services. Beyond traditional travel agency work, Perfection Travel provides expertise and help in the purchase of a wide array of local tours and beyond including Bahamas, Cuba, Key West, Orlando and Disney World. The staff is kind, helpful and professional and always treat me well, especially Maria and Gabriela. I appreciate their great willingness to always help with your request. I look forward to continue working with them!
Amazing Experience!! Gaby attended me and she was super friendly and the BEST!! Thank you
We booked all tours from Perfection travels for city and boat tour, Keywest and Everglades. They are best in service and we have really appreciated their help and service for all trips. A special credit to Jerry and Gabriela, who were always in touch to ask about How trips were and further assisted with a couple of other things too. I will recommend them to all who visit Miami, as they provide the best experience according to ones wishes. We have already booked them in future for our family and friends who are visiting Miami in coming time. Miami is a wonderful place if the right tours are booked on right time. Their recommendations according to weather and time were Perfect and could not be better. Please book them if you are visiting Miami.

When in Miami, the best way to see it is from the water and on one of Ocean Force Adventures' zodiac speed devils! It's the perfect combination of adventure and history as you race through the waters and linger on key spots to get the lowdown on the city itself, how it came about, and little nuggets of some interesting and juicy insights.
I was lucky enough to have Captain Kim as my guide; a Florida native who can write a book on Florida history, and its key characters -- Not just the historical ones, but the colorful ones we all want to hear about that never make it into the history books! That's the real Florida!
On this tour, you'll get a glimpse of the homes of the glitterati at Star Island and Fisher Island, you'll see the home that was the setting for scenes in the Scarface movie (Key Biscayne) and also Gloria and Emilio's Estefan gorgeous abode among others.
The tour goes beyond that. You'll get to know how the city got started, and how Miami came to be what it is now.
A highlight of the tour is Stiltsville, Colorful homes built on stilts during the prohibition era back in the 20s-30s. This was bootlegging heaven and more! Nowadays, we look for the Space Invader Tiles in a couple of the homes, no more booze!
Key to this tour is the fact that it's an intimate event with just 6 guests per boat. And a very knowledgeable captain who is familiar with the area, and its history. Also, it's a zodiac and we get to SPEED!
I can't recommend this enough. It's a must!

Loved the tour. It really was an adventure. Colin was fantastic as was Kim. Even though I was running late due to Miami traffic, they waited an extra 10 mins for me and were very nice about it
Love them! They are super professional and attentive. I was able to book our boat with ease and the whole experience was top notch through the day! Will definitely be booking again😊
I had an incredible experience chartering a yacht from them! The crew went above and beyond, taking excellent care of my kids and providing insightful information about the beautiful sights around the Harbor. A seamless and enjoyable adventure – definitely deserving of 5 stars!
I had the most incredible experience in Miami Beach for New Year's Eve day! The yacht itself was absolutely stunning, with luxurious amenities and a spacious deck that allowed us to soak up the sun and breathtaking views of the Miami skyline.
But what truly made this experience unforgettable was the exceptional service provided by the captain and the staff. From the moment we stepped on board, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine enthusiasm to make our day on the yacht truly special.
The captain was not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but also incredibly friendly and accommodating. He took us on an unforgettable journey, navigating the turquoise waters with expertise and ensuring our safety at all times. His passion for the sea was contagious, making us fall in love with Miami's coastal beauty even more.
The staff on board were equally outstanding. They were attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. From serving us delicious drinks to preparing a delectable spread of food, they took care of every detail, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the day.
I cannot recommend this yacht charter enough. The combination of the stunning yacht, the skilled captain, and the exceptional staff truly made it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure on the water in Miami Beach, this is the charter to choose. You won't be disappointed!

My partner and I wanted to take a tour of Biscayne Bay and had limited time to go. We called Ocean Force Adventures and spoke to one of the owners. She was very friendly and helpful, and got us on a tour that day. We met our boat captain, Captain Collin, at the marina a few minutes early, and he was ready to go. He was very friendly and made us feel welcome. We took off in the Zodiac boat and it was a blast! Captain Collin was a fantastic captain and tour guide. He knew so much about the area and the sites we were seeing. Riding in the Zodiac boat was a blast! I love taking boat tours, but they are usually on a big lumbering boat. This one was fast and nimble, but it felt very stable. We zipped around to different areas including Stiltsville, which I knew nothing about. It turned out to be the highlight of the tour. The history was very interesting, and Captain Collin knew a lot about it, which he shared with us. Even though this boat tour was a little more expensive than a typical boat tour, it was so much more fun that I can't say enough good about it. I want to thank Captain Collin and the owner of Ocean Force Adventures for a one-of-a-kind tour of Biscayne Bay.
The tour was great. Started on time at 7:00am from Miami. And started back 5:00 pm. Our tour guide/driver, Cindy was amazing. She has been very communicative and funny all through the ride. Thank you!
The tour was a lot of fun. It was all an easy experience. Everyone was so friendly, from getting the tickets, getting on the bus, walking around little Havana, our tour guide J was so funny and helpful. I definitely would recommend if your in Miami, looking for fun tour.
If you’re ever in the Miami area definitely check out Miami double decker tour bus ask for JP’s tour. Specifically he doesn’t Key West tour and one around downtown Miami and they’re both amazing. He’s one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had you get to see all the great things Miami has to offer as well as the beautiful sunny Florida keys. You get to make a lot of amazing stops and see a lot of them great things definitely recommend check it out 10 out of 10 I take it every year when I go. JP knows just about everything there is to know about downtown Miami history and his driver is also really awesome too Rauldel both are super friendly and it’s just a get vibe for and awesome day in Miami.
This tour is amazing! Jay is the perfect tour guide, full of knowledge and facts. He's very energetic and fun, as well as bilingual. You get to see so many different places in Miami, and it's great for anyone who's visiting or even people who are local and want to do something different.
Our tour with Captain Nick was an absolute blast. He was welcoming, knowledgeable, and an absolute professional. We loved learning the history of the areas we visited and the boat ride alone, will be a forever happy memory for us. Thank you, Ocean Force and thank you, Captain Nick.
Abel was the man. He works there as a tour guide for over 11 years. He explained the real facts about the tour , which states in south beach going to wynwood and little havana. He really knows what he is doing. Customer Friendly, authentic and real. Thanks a lot for this informative tour for an unbeatable price. They also provide free pickup from our hotel which is perfect to safe money for the Uber. Overall the price of 40$ for a bus and boat ride per person, is really really affordable. Don’t forget to appreciate their service with a tip at the end. Bc these guys really hustle. I did three tours, Abel and Andrew and yanaisa were the tour guides and I can’t complain. The atmosphere in general was fantastic . Thank you guys. I’ll be back for sure
No bachelorette party is complete without a yacht experience in Miami! I am so happy we chose Miami Yachting Company for an unforgettable afternoon at sea for my daughter and her friends! Gorgeous day aboard a great vessel with an awesome crew!
Very friendly, good advices. Thank you!
The experience was amazing. The staff were very attentive and made sure every detail was taken care of. Made some memories that will last a lifetime - but can’t wait for the next excursion.
Most of the reviews are accurate:
Bus guide - spoke English and Spanish but had nothing to say, no history, facts or interesting stories about places we visited, completely useless.
Boat guide - awesome. Funny, had great stories, perfect Spanish and English. We had a great time.
Little Havana - yes, the guide took us all the places like souvenir shops, etc. You have about 30min, I totally went and did my own visit, got coffee, took photos. No need to follow the guide.
Lunch - la cañita restaurant was actually very nice. Good food, nice service. Would go again.
Pick up after the boat - at 2:30 and was on time.
Great value for money minus the bus guide.

Couldn’t tell if it exists because I never found it. Where is it?
So awesome! The staff was amazing. They really catered to us... especially sweet Nicole:) We will definitely lease again!!!
My experience with Miami Yachting Company was phenomenal! The captain was extremely professional and made us all feel welcome. The staff was always available and did a wonderful job assisting all aboard the yacht with ensuring our comfort. I’m looking forward to future experiences with Miami Yachting Company and excited to recommend to friends and family.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Captain Nick today! It was a blast! He was so knowledgeable about the area and the history. We especially loved seeing Stiltsville and we even saw dolphins! It was a beautiful day, wonderful breeze. He even knew how to dodge the rain the whole time! I'm so glad we found Ocean Force Adventures and they were able to show us around on the water.
Love, love, LOVED it! Thank you again Nick!
Love, love, LOVED it! Thank you again Nick!
Great help, lots of maps and local info
Thanks to Gaby we experience the BEST Greece trip. From dreamy hotels to spectacular tours; all her recommendations and suggestions were spot on! No complaints. Once we arrived to Greece everything was taken care of. I was WORRY FREE! There’s nothing better than that when you’re on vacation. Thank you for everything Gaby! You made our Greece trip a dream come true!
It was simply breath taking, the entire experience. When I say they made it an adventure to remember that’s exactly what it was. They were so supportive, informative, interactive, and simply great hostesses. They were a great team. I will never forget this experience.
This tour is a Miami MUST if you love being on the water, catching awesome views, and learning some cool history about the Miami area. Shutterbugs will LOVE the photo ops and the trip to Stiltsville provides the chance to see a piece of history that won’t be here for much longer if the wind and waves have their way.
We are so glad we chose to do a private tour. Felipe was a great guide and very knowledgeable! It was a very comfortable and enjoyable experience. We seen and touched a baby shark. Seen lots of fish, lobster, stingrays, etc. and he gave us many other recommendations of stuff to do in Miami! Would definitely recommend.
WE WERE ON A MUCH NEEDED GIRLS/ BIRTHDAY TRIP. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME ON A PRIVATE BOAT TOUR OF MIAMI AND IT WAS EVERYTHING. FELIPE WAS A GREAT GUIDE, VERY PERSONABLE, EDUCATED, FUN JUST OVERALL A NICE GUY. WE ALL SAID THAT THIS EXPERIENCE MADE US FALL IN LOVE WITH MIAMI. CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN WITH THIS COMPANY. THANK YOU.

Captain Sasha and Ranko were AMAZING 🤩 they took us (a party of 7 girls out for tubing and wake surfing) They both have very entertaining personalities and were great coaches 🥰 would 10/10 do again! Thank you for the awesome experience for me and my girls. We had a great time!!!!!
Beeeest boat tour with Felipe !!!
He made sure we were all very comfortable and made the experience enjoyable with fun facts and beautiful views . We did a 2 hour tour but I wish it was all day ! We even got to play our own music to set our vibe . Would highly recommend 💕✨

Felipe was amazing! He even took great pictures and videos for us. It was our first time snorkeling and he was really patient and kind. Definitely worth the drive from South Beach.
I’m all about reviews- this had a lot of positive & negative ones. I personally had a great time on the City bus + city boat tour. No it wasn’t perfect but the staff was kind & knowledgeable. Well worth the money to me. Some reviews complain about being left or places making money at the stops- I didn’t leave my group so I didn’t get lost or left. I also was excited to stop at a souvenir shop as I’m on vacation most ppl do… I thought visiting downtown Miami as well as Little Havana was awesome as I usually just stick to South Beach. Also loved the boat tour and the boat staff as well.
This was one of the best trips around Miami!
Filipe was a very nice personable person who really wanted to help us have the best time on the boat. We had two hours and we went over time just so he could show us a good spot to eat. (Boaters)
Snorkeling was a blast. Had clean equipment for us to use and also a Bluetooth speaker where we could hook up and jam our own beats. Strongly recommend.
P.S. Felipe is an intelligent water-life expert who speaks English and Spanish. (Probably others as well)
Definitely do yourself a favor and head over for a snorkeling tour.

Felipe was personal, friendly, and very patient. You can tell he enjoys this job. I had a 10-year-old son with me snorkeling for the very first time. My son was so comfortable with him that he held on to the float and snorkel while Felipe dragged him in the water. It was a private boat tour and snorkel. Beautiful view of all the high rises and Felipe filled us in the history. Thank you Felipe for making it memorable.
We had an absolute blast! We booked a 3 hour private boat and we could not have asked for a better experience. Booking the experience was easy, we were met as soon as we arrived and escorted to our boat. Captain Erik was excellent and professional and a really nice guy! He was knowledgeable about the area, we felt safe, he took us snorkeling and was always on top of safety and giving us the best experience. We saw Manatees, we saw dolphins. Erik gave us everything and more! We had time to snorkel as well as swim at the sand bar as well as touring around Fisher Island and all along the coast. Erik could not have been better. We were so lucky to have gotten him as our Captain. Highly recommend. Three hours felt more like five. It was the highlight of our trip! Thank you so much!
This is not a legitimate business. They told us the jet ski we rented was 6 minutes away. Our taxi ride was 40 minutes away and they sent us to a marina with no jetskis. They called me one time and hung up immediately and wouldn’t answer when we called back. Then the guy who rented us the jet skis said we were too late and refused to refund us. He lied and said he didn’t have our money. Eventually when we refused to give up, he finally pulled our cash out of his pocket and decided to pay us back to avoid us calling the police. Stay away from this operation.
The staff in here were extremely knowledgeable and welcoming and offered no end of suggestions for places to visit in the surrounding area. We were offered loads of brochures of places that may be relevant to us and lots of information of the public transport which we could use to get around Miami.
We thoroughly enjoyed the trip w/Captain Colin exploring the Miami area by boat. From beautiful mansions, the Miami skyline, Stiltsville, an aquatic National Park, lighthouse, etc., Cpt. Colin was very informative, knew the history of the area, and allowed us ample time to take pictures. We definitely recommend this trip!
They were a great price to hold our luggage for the day while we waited for our late flight and hit the beach in the meantime. They also let us ride their tandem bike for an hour at no cost, very nice customer service.
Absolutely fantastic tour! If you are looking to get on the water in Miami this is your charter.
I’m a Florida native and have my own boat so I was not willing to get on the bigger “touristy” charters. This is worth every penny and our captain was very knowledgeable.
We booked the group charter but they didn’t end up getting anyone else booked. They stood behind the price and still made sure my partner and I got the full experience.

I recently went on the double decker tour with my family and thought it was good, although there were some places listed on the brochure we never stopped at.
We did enjoyed going past millionaires row and the various locations around Miami!
When we were done the boat tour at 5 the bus was to pick up the group (about 50 people) I don't know if the driver ever showed back up, but after waiting an hour my family and I decided to Uber back to South Beach.

Busy & lively! Shot of Cuban coffee knocked out my headache 😅 and it was good and I'm definitely not a coffee drinker!
She was so very helpful. The jet ski experience was one of a kind. They even take your pictures with downtown Miami in the background. 10/10
They took my money sent me to an address that wasn’t even at the water, I walked 25 mins to the water to have another number call me and tell me to walk another 20 mins on a never ending trail off behind the water, I never got to jet ski but I paid over $100 on travel to have them tell me I couldn’t get my money back. I didn’t feel safe nor did I feel they ever had intentions on providing me with a service, I felt like I was about to be a victim of human trafficking. Don’t go here EVER!!!!
Stopped in looking for some information to help family while visiting from Europe. The woman working here seemed quite put out that we'd ask for information. Shouldn't have been too surprised by this. Despite it being during posted business hours, she had the lights off and the door locked. It was only when she saw us standing at the door and reading did she come let us in.
I was in Key West and spent almost $400 on an entertainment package for Miami and Key West on the internet. After the purchase I was informed that I had to drive to this place to get the tickets I had just paid $400 to purchase. I couldn’t get my money back and had to take a 10 hour round trip to pick up these great tickets. Upon arrival the door was locked but a woman was sitting in there so we knocked and she came to the door and let us in to inform us she couldn’t give us the tickets because I didn’t have a paper copy of the purchase. She could see it on my phone but since she believed herself to be in 1980, that wasn’t acceptable, which by the way is approximately the year her computer was made so it took well over an hour to get print outs in that old piece of non WIFI garbage printer. My grandkids were with me and apparently she was sure they were going to shoot fire from their fingertips and burn the place down so that was fun as well. When I complained about the whole situation, Ms Charm responds that I should have read the fine print. As we all know, a business that thinks that excuses their rip off behavior is deliberately ripping you off. So buyer beware, they basically admitted to being rip offs and when I got the tickets there was only a handful of activities available in Key West. It was all a giant ploy to get Key West vacationers to spend money in Miami. I did not nor will I ever. I wish you the best of luck if you do business with this organization.
Pauline was one of the nicest and most helpful people I have ever spoke with!!!
Thank you Pauline!!!
Thank you Pauline!!!

J'ai adoré merci
Magnifique
Had an amazing experience with this free tour. Lots of sights and information you won’t see as a tourist or local by your own. Will definitely return again when friends and family are in town. Thumbs up👍🏼
I love the concept and try to do it in every City I visit. This one is the only in Miami area and the guide is very nice and knowledgeable.
Really cool thing to do in the city...and Faruk is an amazing guide!
