Terms of Booking

1. Who I am

Misha the Guide is operated by All Over The US Inc, a Florida corporation (Sunbiz document number P18000030363), Miami Beach, Florida. I'm Mikhail, and I guide every tour myself. These terms apply to private tours booked directly with me through this website, email or Telegram. Tours booked through Viator, Tripster or another platform follow that platform's terms.

2. The tours and the price

• Every tour is private and priced per group of 1 to 4 guests, not per person. Groups of 5 or more can't be booked.
• Vehicle tours include the car, the guide, expressway tolls, parking and bottled water. The walking tour includes the guide only.
• Meals, drinks, shopping and admission tickets are not included. On the 4- and 6-hour tours, a coffee or lunch stop can be added on request; it counts toward the tour time, and you pay for your own food.
• Pickup and drop-off at a hotel or residence are included on vehicle tours within the pickup area listed on the Logistics page. PortMiami cruise terminals and Miami International Airport (MIA) are available on vehicle tours for $50 per pickup or drop-off. Fort Lauderdale airport (FLL) is not served.
• The walking tour has a fixed start point and does not include pickup, drop-off or transfers.

3. Booking and payment

• Tours must be booked at least 24 hours before the start time.
• Your date is reserved once you pay a $100 deposit, or the full tour price, through a secure Stripe payment link. Paying confirms that you accept these terms.
• With a deposit, the balance (the tour price minus the deposit, plus any transfer fees) is paid on the tour day, in cash or by card.
• After payment, I send a written confirmation with the date, start time, pickup or meeting point and cancellation deadline. That confirmation and these terms form our agreement.
• Card details are processed by Stripe and never reach me or this website.

4. Cancellation by you

• More than 24 hours before the agreed start time: full refund.
• Within 24 hours, or if you don't show up: $100 is kept. On a deposit booking, that is the deposit. On a paid-in-full booking, the rest is refunded.
• Refunds go back to the original card through Stripe and usually take 5–10 business days to appear.
• All times are Miami local time, counted from the agreed start time.

5. Changes

• You can move your tour to another date once, free of charge, subject to availability.
• Changes to the start time or pickup point are free more than 24 hours before the tour. Later changes are accommodated when the schedule allows.
• The route and the order of stops may change on the day because of traffic, weather, closures or events. The tour length does not change.

6. Cancellation by me

• If I cancel for any reason, including unsafe weather, you choose a full refund or a new date.
• Rain alone does not cancel a tour. Vehicle tours reorder stops around showers; the walking tour runs rain or shine and pauses under cover during heavy showers.
• I cancel for named storms, hurricane or flood watches, official road closures or other conditions that make the tour unsafe, and I decide no later than the morning of the tour.
• A cancellation by you within 24 hours because of a forecast counts as a late cancellation (section 4).

7. Arriving late

• I wait up to 15 minutes after the agreed start time.
• If you message me that you're running late, the tour goes ahead and ends at the scheduled time, so a late start shortens it.
• If you're more than 15 minutes late without a message, the tour counts as a no-show and $100 is kept (section 4).

8. Safety and conduct

• Everyone in the car wears a seat belt.
• The car has no child seat. Florida law requires a child seat or booster for children aged 5 and under, so they cannot join vehicle tours. The walking tour is open to children aged 5 and up.
• No smoking, vaping or open alcohol in the car, and no food or drinks other than the bottled water provided. Pets can't join the tours.
• Luggage is limited to 2 large suitcases and 2 carry-ons, carried in the trunk. A folding wheelchair fits in the trunk, but not together with a full luggage load.
• If anyone in your group has limited mobility, please tell me before booking so I can check what works for your tour.
• I may end a tour early, without refund, if a guest's behavior puts anyone's safety at risk.

9. Responsibility

• I run every tour with reasonable care.
• Walking segments and the walking tour take place on public sidewalks, streets, parks and beaches. You take part at your own risk: wear suitable shoes, watch your step, follow traffic signals and look after the children in your group.
• Please tell me before the tour about any health condition that could affect your participation.
• You are responsible for your personal belongings. Luggage stays locked in the car during walks, but I'm not responsible for the loss of or damage to cash, documents, jewelry, electronics or other valuables, whether left in the car or carried during the tour.
• I'm not responsible for businesses you choose to visit during a tour, such as cafes, restaurants or shops, or for delays caused by traffic, road closures, weather or events.
• To the extent Florida law allows, my total liability for any claim connected with a tour is limited to the amount you paid for that tour. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited.

10. Governing law

• These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
• Any dispute will be handled by the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
• Before taking any formal step, please contact me first. Most issues can be settled directly.

11. Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated. The version and effective date are shown at the top of this page. The version in force when you paid applies to your booking. Earlier versions are available on request.
