Best Big Bus Tour - I have done the Big Bus Tour in New York, London, and Paris. This one was the most organized and efficient. We did it on a Saturday, and it was very busy but we never had to wait long for the bus. What was also very efficient is the main stop - Bayside Marketplace - had many staff to help answer questions.

Wonderful learning experience - If you want to get to know what Miami has to offer I recommend you take a hop on The Hop On Off Bus. You get to visit Bayside, Little Havana, Wynnwood, Design District, & South Beach. You can get on and off the bus at these locations to get a better feel of the neigjborhood. Great option to catch some sun while learning lots of wonderful details about Miami.

Long, hot, crowded and boring - Expensive for what it is. Traffic takes too long to get around. Not enough buses. Awful experience if downstairs as too hot. Doesn’t go down ocean drive on day tour, just drops off at Washington Ave. commentary stopped working. Commentary when it was working was cheesy, annoying and asked for tips constantly. Did the boat tour, nice views but commentary was average. First words from the captain were about tips for the bar staff. People are obsessed with tips in Miami and it’s expensive already. Was also booked on the night tour but kids couldn’t face another trek round in the traffic and due to the poor experience already, didn’t want to ruin their holiday. Wouldn’t recommend unfortunately, just get Ubers, walk to see the places you want to. South beach is the best area. The big bus staff were very polite and helpful.

Take a different tour bus. - Recorded Bus tour, been on them before, but we all prefer a driver or person to give the touer and answer questions. The one star is the buses were supposed to be at their stops every 15 to 10 minutes. After waiting an hour ( if traffic was the problem, more buses) we had to Uber back to the start which would have been hour walk, to.pick up our luggage, and get to the airport or miss our flight. The driver grunted at you after showing the ticket and didn't mention the earbuds for the tour. So we missed most of it.

VERY DISAPPOINTED!! - First of all, we were told that the bus passes every half an hour, we waited over 50 minutes. Second, there was no audio, so missed the experience of history of the landmarks. Third , we called Costumer Service to ask about operation hours and the agent was not helpful. Fourth, When we took the second bus there was no audio either. We had no idea where we were. For the price we paid we should had the full experience. I would not recommend this bus tour company to anyone!

No Air Conditioning - Lower level of two-level bus did not have any air conditioning in Miami in July. We had to get off in the middle of the tour and take a cab back to our car. My wife almost passed out and I was overwhelmed.

Not really a tour - The bus tour is recorded & the sights it talks about is minimal. It's a expensive way to ride & see alot of things with no explanation. It's a high-end city bus. A live tour guide would be better for a $109

Bad service and very long waits, does not fulfill what is said - We travel with young children and the service is very bad, does not meet the frequency of passing and the app does not inform well where the different buses are. I do not recommend it for any reason. Very bad.

It started well on stop... - It started well on stop 1, but when we got off at the walls, we could not get back on the bus for 2 hours. Finally when we got on, it was over filled with extremely high temperature, that almost made us faint and we had to get off the next stop and never got to the Little Havana where we planned to have lunch or dinner. Too few busses on the weekend for too many people. Would never do it again or recommend this to anyone. This experience ruined our day. Waist of time and money.
