3-way Combo ticket is the way to go! - Shout out to Supervisor, Cary for being awesome and providing us with great customer service. We bought a combo ticket last week and was only able to do 2 activities before our cruise. We talked to Cary and she told to come back after our cruise a week later and she would honor the 3rd activity that we had paid for. She did and we had a wonderful time on the harbor cruise. Thanks for good memories of Miami!

Amazing!!! - We had such a great experience with Big Bus Miami! The service was excellent and the ride around Miami was very informative and relaxing. We learned so many interesting facts about the city while enjoying the beautiful views. The staff was friendly and organized, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. It’s a perfect way to explore Miami, especially if it’s your first time visiting. Highly recommend! 🌴🚌

Overall a good experience, shame about Bayside staff - Overall it was ok. The hop on hop off bus was good to give an overview of Miami. We stayed on and it a whole circuit, which took about 2 hours. Basically goes to Little Havana, Wynwood walls, design district, bayside and south beach. We had no problem getting a bus after a visit to design district. ( there are really only designer shops here, plus one reasonably priced food/ bar place - next to the swings area) Bayside - this is where to get the short cruise around the bay and stars homes. The staff at bayside working for BIGBUS are rude and extremely unhelpful, a real let down to the company. We kept asking basic questions- time location and what to do with the tickets on our phone, totally indifferent response. The boat trip was relaxing, about 90 mins. Staff (unfriendly) try to push photos before you get one, then try to sell them to you. Staff on the boat friendly. Night bus tour- from bayside. Good 90 mins tour. Goes along Ocean Drive, lots of opportunities to take photos of Miami skyline. Very cold on top deck when driving along highway, bring a warm top! Guide was interesting and friendly. Overall do the price we paid it was worth doing the tours.

I do not recommend!! - No schedules posted at the stops. Staff tell you the bus comes every 30 mins, but we waited 50 mins once, and the next time we quit after 1 hour and 15 mins. Charging $50 per person for such a terrible service is a joke. Avoid

Not enough buses and downstairs has no airflow. - Absolutely horrible experience in Miami, Florida. Picked up from cruise port and then dropped at stop one. Half an hour wait till next one. Bus arrives and is full top and bottom. Had to wait another 30 minutes. We finally get on and get off in South Beach. No problem. We spent a couple of hours there, walked backed to the station to be picked up. Again bus is full top and bottom, have to wait 30 minutes, after sitting and waiting for bus to arrive. So next bus comes and all that was available was downstairs. Ok, we get on. No air conditioning or windows to open, it is approximately 80 degrees outside so very uncomfortable inside. Every stop we got to no one was getting off because everyone feared that they would just be sitting and waiting again. So no one was allowed in the bus at the next three stops. People were extremely upset, screaming at the driver and he would just say wait there next bus will be there in a little while and they were telling him we were the second bus to pass them up. Finally we got off the bus and walked back to stop 1. People were pushing and shoving trying to get on the bus while we were trying to get off the bus because all the previous buses passed them. Do not waste your money.

Bad plan for airport transfer/luggage hold! Overcrowded bus. - Bad experience! Don’t get off unless you have a backup plan. You may not be able to get back on if the bus fills up. Also if this is your plan to hold luggage and get a transport to the airport after a cruise, DON’T DO IT! We had to follow my luggage AirTag to find the location to meet for our transfer. The driver just told us to go “behind Victoria Secret.” We would never have found it without the AirTag. Our luggage was sitting outside unattended and we just walked up and took it. It was not kept secure.
