What To Expect

Your half-day, group tour of Miami will cover loads of ground, and water, and will introduce you to the key areas and most popular spots in town. You’d never be able to see this much of the city in a half-day if you organized it yourself, or learn as many facts about the area as you will from your guide.

The tour leaves hourly, so you have the flexibility to start when you like. You’ll easily meet your open-top bus on Lincoln road, and then get settled into your air-conditioned seat. You’ll see South Beach and downtown from the bus, then stop off at Little Havana where you can buy some refreshments, or cigars.

From here your guide will escort you to your tour boat, which also has food and drink available to purchase. You’ll pass several landmarks and hear all about them on your approximately 90 minute ride.

You can do some shopping at Bayside Market at the end, plus stop at another scenic spot for some photos.

Superb & Amazing Miami City Tour & Cruise.

Prashant_S, Apr 2024

I highly recommend Viator's Miami Half day Sightseeing & Cruise. Its 5 1/2 hrs. tour in open double decker bus on the streets of Miami and on ocean for 1.5 hrs. The driver and guide are very hospitable and this is must activity for such a reasonable price. Must Go.

Money trap!

annette_b, Apr 2024

The bus wasn't held as pre arranged so we were charged extra and the tour was cut short. It was not as described and we were refused a refund. Money trap!!

Great day

PhillipW_F, Apr 2024

Great day and Elvin was a enthusiastic and entertaining host which made the day even better.Highly recommend this

Ok overall

Sancia_H, Apr 2024

The tour experience was ok, especially for 29.99, other tours were at least double, went thru all the neighborhoods and the guide was entertaining and informative on the bus, the boat was good too Didn’t stop in all the places described, one stop in little Havana that was hectic and rushed Pick up after the boat ride was confusing and late

Waste of money at all

Sujit_J, Apr 2024

Waste of money. Even if you are visiting first time NYC, no need to take this tour. All the wasted tickets included which you you don't like to visit

1st Miami Vacation

Tammy_W, Apr 2024

Bus tour guide was awesome and fun. Cruise tour was informative and exciting to see and hear about all celebrity houses. Definitely will be coming back to your city.

The cheapest tour in Miami

Miami in a Minute

Kenneth_R, Apr 2024

Double Decker bus is nice to see the city from above. The tour took us to all areas of the touristy side of Miami. Boat experience was awesome. That tour was 1.5 hours. Our guide for the city kept us all together when we walked around Little Havana and for lunch time.

Great experience

Yuan_C, Apr 2024

We have a great time! This is a good itinerary to spend half a day learning about Miami's history and culture. We wish can stay Wynwood Walls longer! Highly recommended!

Great fun

Christopher_S, Apr 2024

Excellent Tour guide and the combination of bus and boat tour worked really . Good value for money which took you to the older and more interesting parts of Miami

Great time!

Branislav_I, Apr 2024

Delightful experience, very kind and fun staff, much worth for paid price, both bus and boat tour for $30 is a bargain

Great value

Tina_W, Apr 2024

Great value. Good experience. You learn a lot about Miami you would never have heard without going on an excursion like this. Boat was super fun.

Great boats ride

Tushar_B, Apr 2024

It was nice experience. We really enjoyed the trip, especially boats ride was amazing. City tour was great, expecting little but more spots to be explored.

Double decker tour

PATRICIA_P, Apr 2024

Bus tour was horrible. Nothing attractive. Calle 8 stop only for 20 minutes. Was supposed to have a free hour in Bayside and never happened. Waste of time , driving around the worst part of Miami. Bus was dirty and old - the boat tour was nice

Great 👍👍👍👍

Jenneh_R, Apr 2024

Bayside boat ride, was great, beautiful view I enjoyed it. Thanks for the opportunity. Great experience

Good but a lot of time is wasted doing nothing !

Ruchi_S, Apr 2024

It is a good tour and our guide was good too but the tour can easily be shortened by nearly 1.5 to 2 hours. We were driven around Miami with a 10 min stop at Design Dist. And then a stop at Little Havana where we were shepherd into a cigar shop, a bar for mojito and a souvenir shop (the operators / guide seem to get commission from these shops) with no time to look anywhere else. We were then dropped off at 3:30pm for lunch for an hour and a boat ride at 4:30. This was an absolute waste of an hour as most ppl did not want lunch at 3:30! The boat dropped us back at 5:45 but the tour bus only picked us up at 6:30 and everyone was just sat waiting at the pick up point for 45 mins!!! Lots of wasted time which with better planning could have been used on the same route elsewhere! Overall ok if you want a leisurely drive around Miami and dint mind waiting around for no reason.

Wonderful experience

Bagus_P, Apr 2024

Awesome guide. Full of information both on the bus and on the ferry. Easy to navigate and the timing on each spot was great....

I wouldn’t book this your company ever again.

Caroline_P, Apr 2024

The tour left half the tour while we were still disembarking the boat and we had to make our own way back to the tour company. We had to pay more money to travel back to Miami south beach since the tour left everyone who were still getting off the boat. Missed some parts of the tour also because there was a traffic jam. The tour company yells at ppl who don’t leave them or their drivers tips and they also kept calling out yo them trying to make them feel bad about it. Very unprofessional.

Great for “minimal” walking!

Jamie_J, Apr 2024

The tour was a nice way to “see” key spots in Miami, if you don’t want to walk around too much… most stops were “pass by” and though we only had 30 minutes in Little Havana, the coffee and mojitos were delicious! The boat tour was great as well!
