    02.20.23 top deck of the hop-on, hop-off Big Bus
    May A.

    Sightseeing Pass - Miami Good service from the Supervisor on site. We parked at the Bayside Marketplace because first departure starts at this location. Red Loop starts at Bayside Marketplace in front of island Queen Cafe. For some reason their scanner won't accept our Sightseeing Pass and won't produce a ticket to use for the Hop on-Hop off. It was getting close to the scheduled time the bus was supposed to leave. The supervisor on-site made some calls and after a little bit he was able to produce us our tickets and we were able to "hop on" the bus. Our plan was to stay on the bus for a full round trip then decide later where we want to hop off on our second trip around. Intervals were every 30 mins. The bus stopped at a total of 10 stops. They provided free headsets to plug by your seat so we could listen to a recording about the locations we were passing through. We only hopped off once at the famous Calle Ocho in Little Havana (Stop 10). Stops that were also included were South Beach, North Beach, Wynwood Walls, and Downtown Miami. We had a nice view of the sites sitting on the upper deck. Adult tickets for the Classic tour was $49/per person... included with the Sightseeing Pass. Review #2886

    5 star rating for our tour guide Julio. He gave us a fun, enjoyable hour and 30 minute tour. With the cool weather and beautiful view, would love to go again!

    I did the night tour of Miami by bus. Previous reviewers said to get there early to get a good seat. That was my plan, but finding the pickup location was a little difficult for me. I'm new to the city, and it was already night, so finding my way was tough. It was also the weekend before Halloween night so there were a lot of people out which made it difficult to navigate the sidewalks. Others must have had the same issue because I was able to get a spot on the top side of the bus. It's open air which means you can see things without an obstructed view, but you are also subject to the weather, wind, and whiplash of tree branches. I recommend wearing long hair in a ponytail, leaving your hat at home, and keeping your eyes peeled for low branches that you may need to shield your face from. It sprinkled a little, but not enough to make the experience uncomfortable. Our guide was fun. He told jokes and kept us entertained as he pointed out buildings and features of the city. This was my first time in Miami and my first day, so I appreciated all of the insight given. The Miami skyline is lovely at night and the temperature was warm and dry. You'll get a great lay of the land by going on this tour, and they occasionally stop or slow down enough where you can take photos. I recommend this tour for any newbies to Miami, especially if you don't have access to a car and want to get familiar with the city highlights.

    This is a LONG Bus tour if you do not take advantage of the hop on/hop off feature! What I love about this tour, is that you get to see a lot of the city in a very condensed amount of time if you only have one day in Miami. This is the best value for hitting all the major spots. I love being able to take a vantage of the height and take good pictures around the city. I also got off in a few of the hot neighborhoods and was able to eat local food then get back on and do the same in another neighborhood. What I did not like about this tour is the inside of the bus did not have any air. It was very hot and the windows were not able to be opened- the lack of air, and the long rise me for a nauseating experience for my husband. You do have an option to sit at the top but at midday the sun beams right on your head. Be prepared if you are taking this tour and want to sit at the top, you need to have a hat and one that can fit securely, it's a little windy by the water. also, there should have been a little bit more interaction between the bus, driver and the riders. The tour is guided by an automated message that tells you a little bit more about some of the points. I feel this is a missed opportunity to really create an exciting bus, ride and synergy between the riders and the driver

We showed up at 9:10 AM, exactly as instructed, only to be told our booking had been moved to 11:30 AM without any notice whatsoever. No email. No call. Nothing. Just "oh yeah, it was changed." From there, it was 30 minutes of standing around, being sent back and forth between employees who clearly had no idea what was going on. Eventually, we were told we'd receive a refund and a free boat tour as compensation for the inconvenience. Sounds reasonable, right? Except when they went to process it, they tried to charge the boat tour tickets against the refund credit -- essentially undoing the compensation they just promised. If we hadn't been paying attention, we would have been charged anyway. Luckily, we caught it, demanded clarity, and only then did they issue a full refund and actually give us the boat tour tickets for free like they said they would in the first place. The boat tour itself (celebrity homes) was fine -- nothing special -- but that's not the point. We're locals who intentionally tried to spend the day as tourists, and this experience made it painfully clear how miserable this must be for out-of-towners who don't know better. Disorganized, misleading, and careless with customers' time and money. Miami deserves better than operations like this -- and tourists definitely do.

I booked my reservation online at : https://miamidoubledecker.com/ and made my payment at the south beach office/pick up spot(305 Lincoln Rd, Miami Beach, FL 33139) that morning that you are picked up-$40 cash only Cindy picked us up right on time in a double decker bus. She was nice enough to do a mini city tour as we left the city. She had a great attitude the whole way through and made sure we were comfortable before we left (seeing if the air conditioning was ok and if anyone needed translation in Spanish). She gave us a return time after the 6 hour free time at key west, warning us about how expensive it can be to Uber back but not in a threatening manner(I've been on tours where the bus driver was actually going to leave us stranded if we didn't return on the dot). She made sure we were all on the bus before we left. We even got back 30 min early. They offer discounts for the hop on hop off while you're on the bus(cash only)

We booked a tour for April 18, 2026, and arrived at the departure point at 9:00 AM. At 9:10 AM, the staff told us we were "late" for check-in and claimed the driver didn't even show up because "no other passengers had checked in." They refused to help and told us to try our luck with another company a block away. Here is where it gets ridiculous: We went to the other company, paid $35 (Miami Tours charged us $50), and got on a professional, punctual bus. Ten minutes later, that bus stopped right in front of Miami Tours to pick up more passengers. The EXACT SAME STAFF MEMBER who told us their tour was cancelled and that there were no other options boarded our new bus to escort the group. When I confronted him, he pretended he didn't know us. The Aftermath: Zero Accountability: I have sent multiple refund requests through their website--ignored. Abysmal Service: I called their office four times. Every single time, the representative hung up the phone on me before I could even finish explaining the issue. Better Value Elsewhere: The competitor a block away is not only $15 cheaper, but their schedule (10:20-20:50) is far superior to Miami Tours' restrictive 09:30-17:00 window. They took $50 for a service they never provided and are now actively dodging my calls. Save your money, save your time, and go to the more professional operators nearby. This place is a total sham.

Just add a perreo playlist and you'll feel like you're at Andres Carne de Res in Chia...or maybe that's just me. My friend booked one for her birthday and it was the most fun time. You can book the chiva for 2 hours and it drives you around Miami and drops you at a destination of your choice. We drove around Brickell, Wynwood, Little Havana and ultimately got dropped off in the Grove. The bus has bluetooth so whatever musical vibes you desire for the adventure is totally up to you. You cannot bring glass on the bus, but you are able to bring drinks. They have a cooler loaded with ice for you and the staff is super nice. You can also bring food - but I'd suggest hand held things since you're moving a lot. The best part about the Chiva is that you can dance since there are railings and ropes for you to hold on to while the bus is moving. Do nooooot miss out on the chance to get your Chiva on. I am not sure what the capacity is but we were a group of 12 and it's pretty affordable - we each paid $43. TLDR - book a chiva and live your best life!

I also spent about $80 in Uber fees just getting to the meeting location, which added to the frustration.

However, the bigger disappointment was the lost opportunity--I could have booked a drag show or another tour during that time instead of waiting. Customer service tried to make things right after the fact, but better planning, proactive communication, and respect for guests' time would have made a big difference.
