“The day was really nice until we met the driver who took us from the boat ride to the Everglades. He was rude, blunt, took video calls with us in his van, weaved through traffic, and requested tips upon our return. Very disappointing experience with the driver”

6.Miami Combo: Open-top Bus Tour and Sightseeing Bay Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 75 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $46Best value

See Miami from two angles on a two-hour open-top bus loop and a 90-minute Biscayne Bay yacht cruise. The bus uses recorded English or Spanish commentary, while the cruise has a live guide, a full bar, and views of Millionaire’s Row. Both begin around Bayside Marketplace, but this ticket is not hop-on hop-off.

“We were on the top part of the bus which was open to the outside weather and let me tell you it was hot! But, the bus I do believe was having issues of its own. It seemed to struggle going up inclines, the bottom of the bus where the passengers were sitting was just as hot as the outside. The poor driver was sweating his “ssa” off. We rode around in circles due to bad traffic I believe that was the only thing that saved us from catching a flame. We saw some pretty cool areas. The bus did ride smoothly though.”
