    Long Wait for Next Bus

    Bus was not air conditioned, waited 45 mins for bus. Not convenient “hop on and hop off” as advertised.

    Response from the operator: I am very sorry for the excessive wait times and uncomfortable heat you experienced during your tour. The core promise of a hop-on, hop-off tour is flexibility and convenience, and having to wait 45 minutes completely undermines that experience. Our fleet operates on a scheduled 30-minute frequency, and while Miami traffic and drawbridges can create occasional delays, a 45-minute gap indicates an operational issue that I am addressing with our dispatch team to ensure better pacing on the route.

    It takes a long time to...

    It takes a long time to get around just the red route. Unfortunately we came across a major traffic jam which was at least 30 minutes to go maybe a mile. No one’s fault, just a bit of a hiccup. Otherwise this was a great way to see lots of Miami.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found it to be a great way to see many of Miami's highlights. We're sorry that heavy traffic affected your journey on the Red Route. While congestion in Miami can sometimes impact travel times, we appreciate your understanding and are glad it didn't take away from your overall experience. Thank you for choosing Big Bus Tours, and we hope to welcome you aboard again soon! Raul@BigBusTours

    Poor Planning for Summer Tours

    No air-conditioning on tour bus in 90+ degree weather. Hard to focus on tour when it was extremely hot and everyone was sweating.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the lack of air conditioning made the tour uncomfortable, especially in such hot weather. We understand how this impacted your experience and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We apologize for the disappointment caused. Raul@BigBusTours

    Don't do it! Waste of money!

    Don't waste your money. No working ac. Waited longer that 45 minutes in loop, they claim every 30 minutes. Hard to navigate to get on. Very disappointed for a Viator partner.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We're disappointed to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. Issues with air conditioning, extended wait times, and difficulty locating boarding points can significantly impact the enjoyment and convenience of the tour. We also understand your concern regarding the difference between the advertised and actual wait times. Your comments have been shared with the team for review, as reliable service and clear information are important parts of the guest experience. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

    Hop on hop off bus horrible- No air-conditioning!

    No air-conditioning!!!! No windows could be opened down below!!! Not comfortable for a handicap elderly person who cannot climb stairs. 102° temperature outside.. their buses do not contain air conditioning and it is stifling I definitely do not recommend during May through October! Definitely not comfortable for elderly people should actually be against the law that they do not have any windows for cross Breeze for the people that cannot go up the stairs I'm sure there's some kind of safety regulations that they are breaking! Also the kiosk people are not knowledgeable and rude!

    Response from the operator: I am very sorry for the distress and discomfort you and your companion experienced on board, especially in extreme 102-degree heat, and for the rude service you encountered from our kiosk staff. Unprofessional staff behavior is completely unacceptable, and I am addressing this directly with our front-of-house team.

    Miami: Hop-on Hop-off Tour with 10 Stops and Bay 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 Tour with 10 Stops and Bay Cruise Option cost?

    +

    Prices start at $45 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 Tour with 10 Stops and Bay 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 Tour with 10 Stops and Bay 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 2,513 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 Tour with 10 Stops and Bay 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 Tour with 10 Stops and Bay 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 Tour with 10 Stops and Bay Cruise Option?

    +

    Around 880 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 Tour with 10 Stops and Bay 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-Hour Miami Private Boat Tour: Skyline & Star Island, The Official Art Deco Walking Tour by The Miami Design Preservation League, Little Havana Food and Walking Tour in Miami. 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.

    What is included in Miami: Hop-on Hop-off Tour with 10 Stops and Bay Cruise Option?
