2.City Half Day Tour of Miami by Bus with Sightseeing Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 2,747 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $34Best value

Start at Lincoln Road for a five-and-a-half-hour Miami overview by open-top bus and boat. See South Beach, downtown, Little Havana, Wynwood, Coconut Grove, and Coral Gables, then cruise Biscayne Bay past Star Island and Millionaire's Row. The route covers a lot for $34, but timing, sound quality, and return transport can be uneven.

“An interesting tour with entertaining and enthusiastic guide. Saw some good sights. For us stopping at a cigar shop and being left in the vicinity for lunch in an area where we needed to get an Uber to get somewhere more central was not ideal. That was to us, a waste of time. The tour…recommended.”

6.Everglades Airboat, Wildlife Show, and Roundtrip Bus From Miami

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,886 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $49

Take a roughly four-hour Big Bus trip from Miami to Everglades Holiday Park. Ride an airboat through the marsh, hear stories from captains such as Zack or Drew, watch an alligator show, and pose for a group photo. The bus ride takes about 45 to 60 minutes each way, though Miami traffic can make it much longer.

“We got to see lots of alligators, more than their usual 2-3 sighting. Airboat drivers do a great job of getting close and take the boat around so each side can see the alligators or other wildlife. They give a lot of information about alligators, wildlife and Florida's Everglades”
