What is the difference between booking a tour in Miami with the hotel concierge or directly with the Miami tours operator company?
Tours in Miami are getting very competent, it grows every day, and new business like groceries, hotels, rent cars, even cigars stores offers the tours all over Miami.
80% of all the tours sells occurs at a third party store like the ones mentioned above, so you would be asking yourself, why so many people interested in booking tours for tourist when it's actually a head ache to manage a whole reservation system and accounting just for this? The answer to this question is called "commissions", that is right, hotels, concierges, groceries, Walgreens and everybody else collects an overhead "deposit" or "reservation fee" of normally anywhere from 30% to 50% over the actual cost of the tour which they use as a commission just for booking the customer with the tour operator company.
As an example, the popular Miami city and boat tour combination sells for $39 straight up. If you try booking through a third party provider (which can be very convenient sometimes) you might end up paying up to $78.00.
Very convenient service for people that are tight on schedule and instead of researching for tour operator companies in Miami, they can just book their activities straight up with the closest place to them, these resellers can be found very friendly and helpful as tourist information's source, as they are on the streets all day long, now they know about local buses rout, best restaurants, best parties and more.
One more convenience on booking at concierges and resellers is that they also work with tons of other companies, giving them the possibility of having a huge range of services that maybe one company only wont have. Giving tourists and visitors a wide range of choices like the gocar-tour and others.
One of the popular resellers on the beach are MiamiBeach411, MiamiDiscountTours and Miamitoursonline.
