day tours post cruise

[beebee]

We will be leaving from Fort Lauderdale airport on an evening flight after docking at the pier in Miami. Any suggestions for a tour/transportation company that would pick us up in Miami, do some touring either in Miami or Fort Lauderdale or both and then drop us off at the Fort Lauderdale airport?

 

Would appreciate nay help!

I would get a shuttle to the FLL airport, drop the bags off with bags to go then take a short cab ride to the water taxi and do that for the day.

Rent a car in Miami (national, Alamo & Thrifty offer free shuttle to their MIA airport location - Avis and others in downtown are just a $12 cab ride away, but sometimes get overwhelmed with cruisers :(), put your bags in the trunk, and then go where you want for the day. Drop the car at FLL and fly home.

If you aren't into driving yourself, then just do what Blue Herons suggests and get to Fort Lauderdale and consider the list that Cappricio offered.

 

 

If you don't mind driving, then I'd for sure rent the car, and you can stop in Hollywood Beach on the way up to Fort Lauderdale. Or hit Miami Beach, South beach before heading north. You have a long day to check everything out. Easy to do on your own.
