We bought the 7 day pass and it was the best way to see everything anyone would want to see in Miami and southern Florida. It was a great value and pushed us to explore the great city of Miami. The card paid for itself in 4 days. However, I highly recommend planning everything out so you get the most out of the card. We did at least 3 different things a day that were in the same area. Also, be aware of travel and parking.

Be careful if you buy this on a holiday weekend. My fiancee and I went on memorial day weekend, and due to the amount of people that were going to southbeach, they canceled the south beach hop on/hop off tour loop. That made the bus tour worth less money for sure, cuz on the city tour, you mostly just see trees and businesses, although it is good for transportation throughout the city area. We made good use of the boating cruises ( blaster cruise does NOT go fast at all, so just consider it as time on a boat. The other boating option moves just slightly slower, but has a lot more information as far as being a tour of the area. ) Coral Castle is far away and looks really ghetto from the outside, but I thought that the free tour and stuff was really interesting, so don't panic when you first drive up. It is a lot more interesting once you're inside and not staring at it while surrounded in a rural area. It is about 20 minutes from the zoo, so you might as well go to the castle first ( plan about an hour for the tour.) and then hit the zoo. If you don't like the zoo, the everglade stuff is relatively nearby. If you do go to the zoo, rent the bike. There is a lot of randomly empty space inbetween exhibits, and in the most likely scenario that it starts to sprinkle rain for 20 min, you'll have some shelter. The key west tour bus was awful, but maybe it was just because of the holiday weekend. I think they overbooked, so they rented out very old buses to shuttle people out there. People who paid grayline for tours directly got really nice buses that looked very comfy and new with english speaking drivers. Go miami card people got buses from the 1980's that had rattling parts, almost no tour narration ( literally, when we were passing the everglades, the guy said ok here is the everglades which has lots of dangerous animals so we built a fence * microphone off*), and I had to kill a cockaroach to get another passenger to stop screaming. That was not the only cockaroach on the bus, but I kept that to myself, since I did not want to spend the rest of the trip being the roach hunter. The bus guy also kept trying to leave people behind, so if you go on this tour and he says get back in 25 minutes, get back in 15. We thought we were ok, cuz he appeared to do a headcount, but apparently he was just counting the cockaroaches, cuz we left people behind twice and had to double back when he decided to leave early. By the end, all the people on the bus united and started looking out for each other, so that we could scream out if we noticed that someone was missing. That was ridiculous. I still feel like the card is worth the money, since it did make things easy, and we did get our money's worth for sure by doing as many things that were near each other as possible each day. I would've just planned things differently, if I knew that holiday weekends cause so much trouble.

Some of the options were GREAT, some were not at all what we expected, and were disappointing - i.e. The Art Deco Tour was unexpectantly informative and worthwhile, while the Duck Tour was not so much a tour as rather profane ride aboard a unique vehicle. The Go-car was disappointing because the insurance cost made the use of the card rather worthless. The Everglades Air Boat tour and the Gator Park Air Boat tours were GREAT!

If you have doubts that it saves, yes it does save your money! With 5 days card for an adult and a child I saved USD 160 while doing not so much - only one or two activities a day. Be aware though not to spole your vacation with thrusting to increase the value of your card. I have a good experience with sightseeing and I would say 2 activities a day is enough. Maximum that you can do is 3 (this is not always with pleasure!) A good thing about this card is that you can use your days within 2 weeks. This is only hop-on-hop-off bus that will be available for you within two consecutive days. Make free days for sunbathing or shopping or what so ever and avoid traffic and rush. The biggest attraction in Miami is anyway the OCEAN, the beach, the sun, the air. Take the most of it!

What I liked about the card was...it was like our trip activities were prepaid. I did not have to worry about money to get into the zoo...etc. I only had to bring money for food and such. I liked the fact of not having to carry around a lot of cash, that was nice. I also like the fact of they tell you exact directions of how to get the places, HUGE help!!!!!!!

I bought the "Go Miami Cards" for my vacation and this was the best decision I made. The entrance to all the attractions we visited was painless and saved me a lot of money. The only suggestion that I would make to the go-card buyers is to make sure to call ahead the attraction operators to verify the timings and schedules especially for tours, cruises etc.

Used in Chicago last year and Miami this year. Works great. Attractions in Miami very spread out, so we got the 3 day card with Bonus attraction. For the bonus we wanted to do the Mai-Kai dinner. Closed the first day and second day and only 1 sitting the third day when we were not in the city. Better off-season hours and information would be nice. Miami Seaquarium, Sawgrass Rec and Kennedy Space Center were all awesome. Miami Childrens museum, Island Queen cruise and Jungle Island were all okay, glad I didn't pay "full price" for them.

Sounded great but sadly this was not our experience. We were not let down by Smartdestinations but by the tourist attraction itself, who wasted a whole afternoon of our vacation and failed to deliver the tour leaving my six year old in tears. In terms of the money spent on the go card, no refund was possible because the company maintained we did not pay them directly.In fact their intial view was no refund was due because Go cards allow you to do things free. If anyone knows where these "free' go cards are being handed out please let me know because I paid cold hard cash for all 3 of mine!

We stayed in South Beach and did not have a rental car, so we had to walk to the Miami Visitors Center from our hotel, which was a hassle. We paid for a 2-day card and only used it for the Duck Tour since everything else was so far way. The goCar tour requires additional payment along with a $300 deposit, not worth it. We really wanted to go to the aquarium and zoo but the commute was an hour each way, so it wasn't worth it. I wouldn't recommend buying this card if you do not have a rental car.
