Additional Information

Embark on a 90-minute bus journey starting from Soundscape Park, traversing the picturesque MacArthur Causeway, and circumnavigating the Miami Beach Island. Admire breathtaking vistas of the island and the commanding downtown skyline from the causeway before taking in the sights of Washington Avenue and Collins Avenue, lined with Palm trees showcasing the highlights of South Beach.

Leaving South Beach behind, we proceed via Julia Turtle causeway towards the mainland heading for the idiosyncratic district of Wynwood! From there, the adventure continues to Little Havana, mirroring the Cuban atmosphere in Miami.

In addition, your ticket allows you to soak in the splendors of Miami through a fully guided bilingual cruise along the scenic Biscayne Bay. Sail around Biscayne Bay and witness awe-inspiring coastal views, including the stunning downtown Miami skyline, the Port of Miami, Fisher Island, Miami Beach and the renowned “Millionaire’s Row”: the residences of the affluent and celebrated.

Panoramic Bus is not Hop-on Hop-off.

Great value, - Great value for money also did the Everglades and had a two day pass? It worked out for everything that we wanted to do. We achieved with the big bus in two days where if we had a paid separate companies I think it would’ve been an extra £90.

Perfect way to see Miami - This was the perfect way to see Miami! I loved the opportunity to get on and off the bus to explore. The boat tour was the best part! Beautiful weather and just a great day!

Open-top Bus Tour and Millionaires Row Bay Cruise Combo - We went on the Bus Tour on a Tuesday and the Bay Cruise a couple of days later. The Bus Tour was good, although I found it quite difficult to take photos due to the movement of the bus. Although it was a warm day, it was very windy and so I could not keep my hat on. We really enjoyed the boat trip around Biscayne Bay. We saw a lot of amazing houses owned by millionaires. The weather was perfect, so I was able to take a lot of photos. I was fortunate to get a seat at the edge, so was able to take photos easily with no-one obscuring my view! I also moved around the boat to take more photos. I can definitely recommend this combination.

NICE DAY TRIP FOR SOMETHING TO DO IN MIAMI - Not the WORST, or the BEST! WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THE TOUR: the friendly employees on the Island Queen boat ride A/C was kicking on Island Queen boat ride! the open-air bus ride with recorded tour & the super nice bus drivers DIDNT LIKE / NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: Litter/ trash floating in the harbor as you embark/ disembark on the tour Not getting closer to the homes on Star Island, I could barely see then, and the tour narration had big gaps that could have been filled with other interesting facts Not very fancy, no flowers on tables, no one asked if you'd like a drink. They could have. The assistants on the boat just stood around The picture package was too expensive The recording on the bus asked for a tip over and over...he wasn't even doing anything, the recording have the tour!!

Very rude driver 6-7-2024 - The day was very hot to be in the 2nd floor. The first floor is too small and was full. Then the 5:00pm driver we take to came back from Bayside was very rude. He can’t be in that position. Is the driver and don’t even know the directions to help us and the record tour guy we had to hear with the ear head set is a little confusing.

I'd wait until it was cooler. - 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.

Miami Bus Tour - The tour is beautiful, it couldn't be more... The structure of the Bus is terrible and dangerous, for anyone who decides to climb onto the open deck I suggest being very careful, it is very risky due to the wires and tree branches that cross the streets. Short lunch time and where the bus stops is crowded, 30 min. to be able to use the bathroom and have to swallow the food down the gills. They leave and you stay if you don't pay attention.
