Our 7 Favourite Sightseeing Bus Tours in Miami

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

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

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.”
