Great trip Joel the guide was very informative and enthusiastic. He shared many insights to the tour. The latter part of the trip over the Biscayne Bay and stopping to allow photos of the night time Miami skyline was magnificent. Felix the driver was fantastic maneuvering through the traffic. Great adventure!!

This trip was exactly what I was looking for! Someway to get an insight into the Miami area. What made this trip so perfect was our guide Joel Martinez.

Miami Open Top Night Tour

Michelle_W, Mar 2026
This bus tour is taken at night where you can see the beautiful Miami Skyline. Our tour guide Joel was amazing & informative the entire ride. We learned so much about the history, art deco, & food scene of Miami.

Highly recommend! Excellent guided tour!

Kristi_J, Mar 2026
This was a wonderful nighttime activity to explore Miami and have a knowledgeable host to contribute commentary to what we were seeing. Armando was excellent at his job, and our driver had patience beyond measure considering Friday night Miami/South Beach traffic. Perfect amount of time spent and would definitely recommend this to anyone! I think especially a great thing to do before hitting the ground on foot because this tour gives a nice lay of the land so you can know where you might want to head to spend more time exploring on your own!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hi Kristi_J. We wish to thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that your tour in Miami was an amazing nighttime activity. We are delighted to learn that our staff ensured your experience was only perfect. We hope to have you back soon. Best, Vlad from Big Bus Tours.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely unforgettable night tour — Julio was phenomenal!

Awa_D, Dec 2025
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely unforgettable night tour — Julio was phenomenal! We took the Big Bus night tour in Miami departing from Biscayne, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about our guide, Julio. From start to finish, the experience was incredible! 😍 funny, entertaining, and so informative. Julio has an amazing way of bringing Miami to life. His knowledge of the city’s history, neighborhoods, and culture is impressive, and you can immediately feel how much he genuinely loves what he does. He doesn’t just recite facts, he tells stories, adds humor, and keeps everyone fully engaged. At times, we joked that he must be a comedian on the side because his timing and energy were just perfect! I was with my cousin, and it was her first time in Miami, so this tour meant a lot to us. Thanks to Julio, she fell in love with the city instantly. We both learned so much and enjoyed every moment, even though it was a little cold being on the bus at night ☺️ his enthusiasm and warmth completely made us forget about that. Julio truly went above and beyond. If you’re considering this tour, I hope you’re lucky enough to have him as your guide. He deserves recognition for his passion, professionalism, and the joy he brings to this experience. Thank you, Julio, for an unforgettable night 🙏🏾I promised you an amazing review, and you more than earned it!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hello Awa_D, we greatly appreciate your thorough review. It brings us joy to know that you had a wonderful experience and that Julio left such a remarkable impression on you. We will definitely share your kind feedback with him, and we sincerely hope to welcome you back in the future!-Best wishes, Mara from Big Bus

Lack of communication

Idalis_M, Oct 2025
Unfortunately I lost the opportunity. As a new in the area I didn’t know where to park and how much time exactly could take from the parking lote to the departure spot. The GPS took me to The Continental parking lote. From there to the Beyside is approximately 15 minutes walking. Since I got to the parking lote and 40 minutes later I was trying to communicate with the Big Bus staff. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE. I chatted with Viator agents and they neither got in touch with Big Bus. I lost my 6 tickets and the possibility for my friends from Venezuela to do this trip. I try to postpone the trip but it was impossible the communication. To much impersonal. If you are not familiar with Down Town area I don’t recommend. In the Viator said that you can get the bus at any stop, however there not route to follow.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hi Idalis_M, Thank you for taking your time to write your feedback! We are so sorry to hear that you missed the tour.

Terrible Customer Service I wouldn’t even waste your time

Jeffrey_A, Oct 2025
I accidentally ordered the wrong service, tried to get a hold of the people and they never would return a message. I was out 70 bucks.

Beautiful

TRACY_H, Oct 2025
Views are beautiful, a must see. The night tour is the best. The breathtaking view of the city and the colorful lights around the city.

Confusion about the Address

Robert_P, Aug 2025
If using Lyft do not use the 333 Biscayne Address listed on Viator as it will take you to the wrong address. It caused us to miss the trip as we did not have time get the Bayside Market place/Ben Pizza location which I assume would be the right location. There are some other reviews about the confusion about the address.

Host and driver were nice and fun!

Melinda_O, Jul 2025
Evening tour would give a. Better experience with the night life version. Don’t wear loose clothing the wind is real.

Bus Never Showed!!!

Jocelynn_C, Jul 2025
I booked through Viator for the bus tour scheduled for July 4, 2025. Me and several other customers waited at the destination for well over an hour!! We kept messaging the company, but they never responded. Now Viator is refusing to give me a refunded!!! The location was heavily populated and the traffic was very congested due to the Fourth of July celebrations at Bayside Market! For this reason, me and several other customers waited for a long time. The company is saying they showed up, but they never did!!!!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hi Jocelynn! We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the bus not arriving at the location where you were waiting. Thank you for sharing your honest feedback with us! Unfortunately, the Night Tour was cancelled on the 4th of July in Miami due to the celebrations. We truly regret any trouble this may have caused you. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
