The activity is obviously aimed at tourists. Our guide was extremely funny and commented on everything in English and Spanish. The music selection in between was also great. The full 90 minutes were filled and there were great opportunities to take pictures. I was very satisfied. It's worth getting there half an hour before the start because otherwise the line can get long and there's no room at the top!

A great cruise. Gabriel was a funny and informative guide. He made the tour interesting and fun. Otherwise it would have been a long 1hour 30 minutes watching a fantastic skyline. Would recommend.

It was just a really nice experience that I would definitely do again. The pilot was also very nice and was able to tell us a lot about Miami during the tour.

Very interactive staff! Wonderful experience, very informative
