Your half-day, group tour of Miami will cover loads of ground, and water, and will introduce you to the key areas and most popular spots in town. You’d never be able to see this much of the city in a half-day if you organized it yourself, or learn as many facts about the area as you will from your guide.
The tour leaves hourly, so you have the flexibility to start when you like. You’ll easily meet your open-top bus on Lincoln road, and then get settled into your air-conditioned seat. You’ll see South Beach and downtown from the bus, then stop off at Little Havana where you can buy some refreshments, or cigars.
From here your guide will escort you to your tour boat, which also has food and drink available to purchase. You’ll pass several landmarks and hear all about them on your approximately 90 minute ride.
You can do some shopping at Bayside Market at the end, plus stop at another scenic spot for some photos.

Our guide was phenomenal, his name was Abel. He was very knowledgeable and friendly . We saw a lot in this 5 hour tour
SHERRI_L, May 2026
First bus left us because we were 2 minutes late. Next bus was an hour later. Tour guide was funny for the most part and bilingual
Driver was careful and precise.
Not enough information given on where to meet the boat. Not alot of air circulating on the boat so was a little uncomfortable.
Tour boat guide/speaker was bilingual. Wish we had seen more houses and heard more history about the Bay.
Monica_G, May 2026
Our expectations were based on previous tours with Viator and this one did not live up to previous experiences. It didn’t seem as if the guides had done their homework on the areas we visited. There was very little history shared about the Miami areas. I would skip the bus tour, enjoy the boat and lower expectations if you want history and or little known facts about Miami.
The boat tour was nice - there were some celebrity homes on the tour but not much about the islands - history or little known facts.
Kernel_W, May 2026
It's a good experience, a good way to see Miami. It was hot so be sure to use some sunscreen or an umbrella.
Anne_P, May 2026
Wonderful tour but the talking was fast as the driver spoke in both English and Spanish. Nice job seeing the highlights of the city.
Brian_Q, May 2026
The bus was very old and dirty. The tour took 90 minutes longer than stated in the Viator description. The tour guide was self serving and at times gave misinformation.
Daniel_T, May 2026
The bus tour was great, the guide was very knowledgable.
The boat tour was a disaster as we were on the boat for 40 minutes to be told there was a problem with the boat. We had wasted over 90 minutes waiting so we left.
Lyn_B, May 2026
If you are not fluent in Spanish don’t expect to learn anything from this tour.
As far as the boat tour, it was not advertised as a party boat but that’s what it was. We couldn’t understand what the tour guide said, even when she tried to speak English. Most customers were up dancing, drinking and just being irritating.
margieolenick, May 2026
It was delightful, informative, and a really good value. The driver and guide were so helpful and kind.
Dennis_A, May 2026
This was a nice hop on hop off tour. We decided to sit up top even though it had no cover like other tour buses we saw. The driver was very informative on the history of Miami which was nice. We went through South Beach and on Ocean Drive before we headed to Wynwood and Little Havana. We stopped at Little Havana for about 30 min to use the restroom and visit the local shops . From there we headed to Bayside where we caught the boat for our tour of celebrity homes. We did have a little trouble finding the dock so had to call their office for directions. The boat was located next to the Hard Rock Cafe . Overall it was a nice experience
Sandy_S, May 2026
Don’t come unless you speak Spanish. Even the “English” was mostly Spanish. All the music was Spanish.
WILLIE_B, May 2026
It was GOOD. The tour guide she was very friendly to me and my wife. I loved the way she would Dance with everyone. That made me very HAPPY!!
Jacqueline_H, May 2026
There is no ac downstairs like was told one reason we chose because we have medical issues. The bus tour was great! Like Spanish and English!
Ramisa_F, May 2026
The negative reviews made me nervous to book, but I’m really glad I did it anyways. Yes, the bus is a bit run down, but it got us from point and to point B. And the tour guide spoke mostly in English so it was great learned lots.
I will say, do take the boat tour as well, that was my family’s favourite part. Again a bit run down, but it’s okay. It was so much fun, and loooking at all the rich folks houses was really cool.
I would recommend!! Really glad we did it!
Vicky_H, May 2026
It was excellent value for money. 6 hours from start to finish. We both thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend
Joyce_N, May 2026
I don’t remember what the name of the guide was, he was that unforgettable. So rude, pushy and disrespectful and mind you the whole time he was showing us around he had a cigar or a smoke in his mouth. So arrogant and although the places we saw were great he turned the whole group off everything
Stephen_W, Apr 2026
The bus was old and unclean- windshield on top floor was smashed and taped up, blocking the view- staff in the main office were rude and unhelpful. Cruise was ok but the guide spoke poor English and was hard to unterstand,
Julie_M, Apr 2026
It’s a great way to see Miami in a short period of time. The bus driver was excellent and very knowledgeable.
Mui_T, Apr 2026
I book this tour because i thìnk we should see Miami ìn land and sea, but when we already get line to the boat officer ask the tickets in paper we have not given tickets and we cannot get in. Your company didnot take care good for us. I was not happy
Jessica_A, Apr 2026
If the bus is late THEY WILL RUSH THE TOUR! This was my 2nd experience and I was pissed I wasted the time. It was nothing like the first time when the bus was on time.
Curvy_B, Apr 2026
The company almost made us miss our flight due to their lack of communication with their pickup location change and contacting the customers. Not knowing about a major road closure due to a major event in Miami that affects your pick up location is a major fail. The excuse of not knowing is unacceptable. Their was no accountability for the failure and losing two hours of time waiting for transportation is crazy.
OLGA_T, Apr 2026
I read some reviews that, for a moment, made me hesitate about taking this tour. I’m glad I decided to go, though, because I had a great time. If you do the bus portion followed by the boat ride, make sure to hold onto the receipt they gave you before the tour started—you need the physical receipt to board the boat. I had a fantastic time!
Gabriela_M, Apr 2026
The bus did not take me back to the starting point. I needed to take an Uber and paid $28. After I got off from the bout tour, the tour guide was not waiting for us. I went back to where the bus drop off and waited for an hour
The bus did not came to pick up. It wad gettinh late and dark and I felt unsafe and abandoned. If the bus picked up from another location and I was missing the tour operator should call me on the phone nr. I provided. I called the tour operator # they answered but said that is late and they are closed, refused to help me
Colleen_P, Apr 2026
The boat tour was late leaving , very hot. Boat was not comfortable. The tour guide speaker could not be heard on the bottom level so we had no idea whose houses we were seeing
Gail_S, Apr 2026
Get a English speaker for the boat part. The bus was fantastic! Beautiful places to see and experiences.
MELROSE_L, Apr 2026
The guide on the bus accent was so thick, I didn't understand anything . She was a little not nice..
Jamie_I, Apr 2026
There was a marathon and they were not prepared
Didn’t get picked up on time
Had to uber to my destination
Renee_C, Apr 2026
Our guide was rude and didn't have any maps of our tour and neither did your main office and no head phones for the top deck. You could hardly hear him in either language. And he was 1/2 hr late so we ended up with 25 MIN to eat after he took us on the non-sidewalk part with tree roots to walk on at the pier area. Also, not happy that the boat tour was only in the Bay and we never saw the lighthouse in Biscayne and only celeb's houses. We didn't care about that.
Mark_J, Apr 2026
It can be hot and cold bring a jacket or blanket. The top level has tree branches and street signs to duck under. Wear sunscreen regardless. There are opportunities to break and explore. Overall, Including these warnings, a great trip. Well worth taking. See the main attractions without driving. Pretty neat experience. Thanks
Lillian_H, Apr 2026
Wear sunscreen if you sit on the roof! Overall worth the experience for first timers! Our tour guide did a wonderful job!
