OMG terrible! The bus...
OMG terrible! The bus didn’t have air conditioning and they didn’t let us know. We couldn’t complete the loop and didn’t enjoy the tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand how uncomfortable it must have been to discover that the bus did not have air conditioning, especially in warm weather. Passenger comfort is extremely important to us, and we regret that this affected your ability to enjoy the tour. We're also disappointed to hear that the conditions on board prevented you from completing the full loop and enjoying the sightseeing experience as intended. This is certainly not the standard we strive to provide. Your feedback will be shared with our operations and maintenance teams so that the onboard experience and communication regarding vehicle amenities can be reviewed and improved. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Flavius@BigBusTours

Not enough buses in Miami
We have used this company in so many locations in Europe. We were very disappointed in Miami. We joined the tour after a rain storm. The driver drove too fast ( in pur opion) hitting low haning branches with no warning and we were absolutely soaked and dodging falling branches. There was no warning from the driver that the tour was coming to the end and we were rudely shouted at to get off the bus. We joined the bus again the following day ( without the rain)but the driver was equality rude. On our last trip the driver did speak to the passengers telling everyone it was the last bus of the day. On the whole we have found this company very rude and unwelcoming. We waited a long time for the buses to arrive in comparison to the same company in other locations. There seemed to be just two buses operating in this location at one time which isn't enough, far too much waiting time! I would not recommend using this company on a short trip to Miami!

Would Not Recommend on Super Hot Days
The a/c in the bottom portion of the bus was not working and it was sweltering hot. The top of the bus had a full right side of speakers that did not work with the earbuds provided. There were times were the trees got through the top shield and sides. The driver was going a little fast at times. A woman threw up from motion sickness on the top half, her friend told the driver and he did not stop to help or clean it up. Wear a hat if you sit at the top.
Response from the operator: Hi, We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We appreciate you sharing your comments with us, as we always aim to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for our guests. If you would like to provide any further details regarding your experience, please feel free to contact us directly. Alexandra@BigBusTours

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Miami: Hop-on Hop-off Sightseeing Tour with Cruise Option: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Miami.
How much does Miami: Hop-on Hop-off Sightseeing Tour with Cruise Option cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Miami usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Miami: Hop-on Hop-off Sightseeing Tour with Cruise Option take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Miami is not rushed.
Is Miami: Hop-on Hop-off Sightseeing Tour with Cruise Option worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 2,498 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Miami, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Miami: Hop-on Hop-off Sightseeing Tour with Cruise Option?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Miami: Hop-on Hop-off Sightseeing Tour with Cruise Option suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Miami: Hop-on Hop-off Sightseeing Tour with Cruise Option?
+
Around 874 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Miami can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Miami and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Miami: Hop-on Hop-off Sightseeing Tour with Cruise Option start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Miami within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Miami?
+
Miami splits between the water and the neighbourhoods. Biscayne Bay boat tours, Key Biscayne snorkelling and Everglades airboats cover the first, while Wynwood mural walks, Little Havana food crawls and South Beach deco tours cover the second. We rank Everglades operators carefully: many depart from Miami but the good ones run their own boats rather than reselling seats. On Outty we rank every Miami experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2 hrs Miami Private Boat with Cooler, Ice, Bluetooth Stereo, Little Havana Food and Walking Tour in Miami, Miami: 2 Hour Private Yacht Cruise. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Miami?
+
November to April, dry season, before hurricane and humidity months. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Miami?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
