Good bus tour to see the city

3.00Good overall tour. The views of South Beach and Miami were great and we got to see a lot of the Wynn walls area from the bus. The boat tour was good but we were got stranded at Bayside at the end of the tour because the bus broke down and did not show up. No communication from the tour operator as to what was happing.
It was a lot of fun...

5.00Would highly recommend this boat and bus tour. It took us all through Miami Beach and then over the bridge to Miami. We would never have seen all the sites unless we did this. Before we got on the bus, they gave us a colored circle sticker so every time we got off the bus and back on, we knew that was our people. Was a sense of community because we all stuck together and knew who each other were by the end of the trip. The boat tour was very very interesting. Just don’t sit on the back of the boat on top because you can’t hear a thing. It was still very nice and informative.

5.00The double-decker bus took us around the city gave us all kinds of good pointers and history of Miami. I could’ve done without the art district. Well worth the money. And we went on a boat ride afterwards, and we got to see all the mansions and who they belong to on the water.
