Review of Miami’s $51 open-top bus and Biscayne Bay cruise, with route details, timing tips, neighborhood highlights, and honest value advice.

“The tour was great! But the person who greeted us was not customer friendly at all. We could pull up our confirmation # but not the code. She told us we could not go and refused to even look at my phone. A couple from Germany overheard her rudeness and offered to help us. thankfully we could get on the tour. She was so rude to us. Terrible!!!”

2.Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,764 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $75Top rated

See NYC’s top sights by climate-controlled bus, with photo stops at Rockefeller Center, Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and 9/11 Memorial.

“Be prepared for a lot of historical information. Even though I gave the trip five stars the night tour is splendid for pictures but if you are on the wrong side of the bus, it’s hard to get every picture you want. The stop at the Brooklyn Bridge was the best. This is an overview, not an in depth tour.”
