Big Bus Tours Miami

401 Biscayne Blvd (Bayside Marketplace, Stop 1), Miami, FL 33132 · Miami, FL

Why you should go…

The classic open-top double-decker way to get your bearings, with hop-on hop-off loops connecting downtown Miami, South Beach, and the city's headline neighborhoods. Buses depart Bayside Marketplace every 30 minutes from 9am, the full circuit takes about 2 hours 10 minutes, and recorded commentary covers the skyline, Ocean Drive, and celebrity islands along the way. One- and multi-day passes are sold, plus night-tour and Everglades add-ons; booking online typically shaves up to 20 percent off the fare.

Good to know

General tours guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Confirm the meeting point

    It is often a corner, a lobby, or a dock rather than the address you searched for. Check it the night before.

  • Small groups fill first

    In high season the intimate departures sell out well before the big-bus options do.

  • Ask how much is on foot

    Knowing how much of the route is walking, standing, or outdoors tells you what to wear and carry.

  • Read the weather policy

    Cancellation windows and rain rules vary by operator, and they are easier to find before you pay than after.
