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.

The driver on the bus tour was superb at pointing out places to look at along the way. It was educational as well as entertaining. The boat tour was great! The staff was very good at pointing out points of interest. We had a good time! Glad we did it!!

It’s all going Alrite until we got left that the marketplace cause their bus broke down and had to pay 60 dollars in a taxi would not recommend

This tour is waste of money. Zero value for money. The original tour was 3 hrs 30 min which they brought down to 2 hrs 30 min out of which 45 minutes wasted in ice cream shop and lunch stop. There was no commentary at all. Buses are having uncomfortable seating. They told there is AC on first level which was false.

Waited in line where signs said to wait and others ignored and walked to the street. Was told by staff we would get on first and we were the first ones there. Well, it didn’t happen and everyone on the street got on first so I waited “in line” for nothing. Also the guy who was our guide (not the bus driver, he was fine) talked about getting drunk on the stops and my kids were convinced he was drunk. When we got dropped off for the boat part of the cruise he disappeared on us twice. The first time maybe he forgot something but who knows. We were all looking for him wondering where he was then we saw him running towards us from the bus. Wasn’t impressed with the guide at all. Also we were supposed to get a double decker bus and ended up with a single deck bus with no shade from the sun. There were no awnings on the bus like the other ones. Also did not expect to be on an old pirate boat, but a much nicer one. Itinerary didn’t mention a pirate boat either. Paid ahead of time for this trip and then was told when got there would owe a service charge. Totally unexpected as it wasn’t mentioned on the website (at least I didn’t see it) that I would owe more money when I got there.

First we arrive at the 305 Lincoln the young girl is cuddling nose to nose with the gentleman also working and don’t notice we have walked in.
They jump to their feet embarrassed once they see us.
He appears to be high talking slow, soft, eye hard to keep open eyes unable to make and hold contact with our conversation.
Wow they were into something
We leave walk to Starbucks return he is gone another female employee is there
We wait for the bus to arrive
Bus arrives we walk to get on first step on the bus is broken. Bus is hot no AC on bottom level dirty beyond belief.
We go up the steps , more dirty broken seats cracked plastic missing pieces. I take pictures
We sit down look around at the crazy condition and realize if they don’t maintain what we see how do they maintain this bus mechanically. We sit there thinking what is the boat going to look like….
We get up go back inside ask for a refund they are rude tells us to wait for the next bus we say no thank you.
We need a refund

Horrible damn experience with this company. I should have gone to another one. I will never come back to this place.
Tanya_J, Jul 2026
They will leave you stranded with no way home after the pier. The bus never came back. We had to call an Uber to pick us and take us back to our hotel.
Jessica_C, Jul 2026
Well, I honestly thought the crew of tourists and myself were being punk. Why this guy which were two of them one was the spokesperson for the tour and the other guy was the driver whom drove the tour bus. It was two events one was bus and the other was the boat tour when we arrived at the boat tour the spokesperson stated to be back at the destination were he dropped us off at 7:30pm. The boat arrive back to shore @ 7 o’clock. My husband and I went straight to the destination to be picked up it was 7 o’clock, which we had 30 minutes, however we were unsure, but my husband had asked another bus which we knew wasn’t our, he asked what time he think the our bus would come he stated he usually here behind me the driver stated. My husband and I went looking around at 7:15. We arrived back @ 7:30 when we noticed our crew was sitting out there upset, we asked what’s going on they said you might as well uber back to your destination because the driver said they will not be returning and they been out here already and they are not going to return. Wow!! However we have been out there the whole time waiting and just left, went walking around returned back to the pick up spot, every one seen upset. A group no more than 20 people, so my husband and I uber to the place where we were picked up from and explain to the lady that he left the whole group. She told us she believed us because not one person returned back to the building where we was picked up. The driver lied and said he brought 8 people back in, the lady that worked with the tickets. She replied she didn’t see anybody come back nor the bus, she knew that we all was telling the truth, wrote our names down. She was very apologetic because it was shady, lowdown and unprofessional for these guys to leave the whole tourist never came back for us. We all want our money back! Horrible experience.

Bus was ok, girl tour guide was awesome. She provided all information that you should know. Boat boy tour guide was knowledgeable but kicked us from upstairs because of other people viewing. What about our views? We paid for same thing…. I ask him to provide me space for me and kids and he said I have to do myself. There is a no more space on boat then inside and it was very hot. They taking more people then they should on boat , so if you want enjoy the view you have to run and be first to take sitting.

Horrible bus ride. Miserably hit. Not sights to see. Really bad sound system. Guide could barely speak English so we didn't understand a word. The driver was very rude when people didn't give a tip. We took an Uber back to the hotel after the boat tour rather than experience another moment on the bus.
The boat tour was nice which is the only reason this enemy got 2 stars
Amber_B, Jul 2026
Although the tour was fine, it was advertised as having air conditioning and it did not. That made the trip really hard for someone like me who doesn't do well in the heat.
Maliha_K, Jul 2026
Very friendly staff, timely departure and arrivals, very helpful and overall a convenient service with fair pricing. We had fun, did not feel rushed, we were given enough time in the spots/areas that required time. Will highly recommend this tour along with the boat tour.
Kenya_H, Jul 2026
Fun environment! The guide made the trip fun. Nice family outing! It was cool to see the celebrity houses.
Kimberly_G, Jul 2026
The bus and boat tour was fun,, I enjoyed the boat tour more, the bus was a little warm, the tour guide was awesome
Lorna_G, Jul 2026
Everything was great except the pick up time going back the driver did not pick up us to the meeting place and NO English
Francis_J, Jul 2026
For the price it is worth it. This is a combo package bus tour and boat tour for the last couple of hours. This is pretty much an “all day” tour. If you are driving to the office try to find parking in a municipal parking ares. Even if you have to catch a ride share to the office. Parking in private parking lots in the area is very expensive. If you have never been to the Miami are this is a good tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable. They are very time oriented if they time you to be back at a certain time do it. Highly recommended tour.
JamesDonald_T, Jul 2026
Overall a well planned tour. However, a bit chaotic around Little Havana, due to crowding. Boat tour was good and the option of 2:30, 4:30 or 6:30pm bus back to Miami Beach is a great flexible tool.
April_W, Jul 2026
We were deciding between this tour and The Big Bus Tour and I WISH we would have gone with the other. It is a bit more expensive and in this case, I think we got what we paid for. The tour started 1.5 late. The guide said it was because of closed streets during the World Cup, but that communication came from our inquiries, not them. Then, unfortunately, as it was supposed to be a live tour, the speakers did not work well, so the people in the back could not hear a thing. I moved to the front to hear and the information shared was minimal, it wasn’t interactive, he read his line and kept it moving. Without the feedback, I think you’ll get better experience with a recording. The boat ride was better than the bus portion, but it was on a pirate boat, so beware you are not getting the ferry boats you see on the internet. Next time, I’ll pay the extra for a better experience.

No a c. On bus No restrooms on bus. No restrooms in the main building. Check n need to be on an iPad instead of paper. Boat was old worn, needs to remodeled. The staff beg way too much. If I wanted to sit on bottom of bus, very uncomfortable heat.
geetha_m, Jul 2026
The guide did not follow protocol. He also was unhelpful and abrupt several times
Would have been a great tour for what it was providing but for the guide
Mariah_W, Jul 2026
the tour to pick you back up was nowhere to be found. we were left stranded for hours just standing nowhere to sit. they told us the bus would be there in 5 min @ 6:30. 7:24 comes around still no tour bus. me and others that took together decided to get a taxi back to our original departure spot smh
Angi_J, Jul 2026
Absolutely loved the tour until the bus didn’t come back for us after the sea cruise which they said they would, rang the operator who said they would be coming back, it didn’t so rang again and they said they would ring back, they didn’t. Ended up having to get a taxi back, not happy!!
Brenda_O, Jun 2026
Over an hour, waiting for the tour to start. Once the two did start, you could not hear the tool of God at all. The boat ride was magnificent. But I would not recommend the bus ride to anyone. At the end, when it was time to return to the starting point, the bus was again over an hour late. But then we were so tired and hot that we decided to Uber back to our hotel.
Desiree_M, Jun 2026
The bus was an hour late to get started with the tour. It's not what it looks like in the online photos. We couldn't hear the historical information from the tour guide throughout the bus tour. Only 1 speaker was partially working and only the 1st 4 rows could hear. We were guided to a very specific stop while in lil Havana and could only order a drink there. The bus stated after the boat tour it would be back every hour on the hour and that didnt happen either. The 4pm bus never showed up.
The boat tour was the best part of the tour but we were on a pirate ship unlike the boat in the photos.
Rick_K, Jun 2026
Overall good but the bus was 40 minutes late to start, with no announcement as to why or when it would arrive. Also, the the hour wait to start the boat tour portion was irritating, and they wouldn't let us board so we had to wait in line in the heat.
Nikesha_M, Jun 2026
The Miami Hop-On Hop-Off bus tour and Billionaire’s Row boat ride were a great way to see the city! The bus made it easy to explore Miami’s top neighborhoods, and the boat tour offered beautiful views of the skyline and incredible waterfront mansions. The guides were informative and entertaining, making the experience both fun and relaxing. Definitely worth it!
Ugochi, Jun 2026
i would give this 0 stars if i can. the bus ABANDONED the whole group after the boat ride . we called many times and were all told different things . one person was even told that it is not the buses responsibility to get us back to the meeting point even though it is advertised as drop off is back to the meeting point. After a while they stopped picking up any of our phone calls. The whole group had to find their way back on their own . overall horrible experience.
Sherry_D, Jun 2026
While the bus tour was fine, we were not given clear instructions on the boat tour. We walked around for 30 minutes looking for help while one booth just sent us to the next. It was quite aggravating.
Jean_G, Jun 2026
We did bus and water tour. The bus was SUPER old and outdated. The seats had holes. Only realized after I scratched my arm and thought I was bleeding. Once we got to where the boat was the directions given to get to board were incorrect and once we found the correct boarding area we realized the oldest, rundown PIRATE ship was the one we were getting on. Tho the views were nice and interaction was decent it felt like we were just at the bottom of the barrel in our transportation. Would not recommend
