Why Take a Guided Bus Tour in Miami?

Great question! Did you know, Miami often ranks first for being the most difficult city to drive in United States? Miamians have a reputation for being aggressive drivers . Nobody wants the stress of driving in a strange place and not know where to go. So it makes sense, the best way to explore a place like here is on a luxury tour bus, with fun people like yourself. The bus driver will navigate traffic for you, while you sit high above the ground enjoying a good view of the surroundings.

And while it’s true, anyone can Uber from place to place, you'll miss a lot. Most of those drivers in Miami don't speak English. They also don't know how to find the best photo spots that a professional guide can show you.

But if you do take a bus tour around Miami, try to do it at the beginning of the trip. It’ll really help you get more familiar with the city’s layout. You can navigate the rest of your time here more easily, when you understand the street grid, and can circle back to the places you want to visit again.

Why choose Miami Tour Company?

Founded in 2008, we are one of the highest rated bus tour agencies in the country , and we consistently rank as the #1 Miami sightseeing tour on TripAdvisor . Why? We’ve combined our knowledge as a 3rd generation bus operator with our passion for hospitality to create one-of-a-kind tours and private charters that speak to a variety of ages and interests.

Safe driving is our number one priority. The buses are equipped with 3-point harness passenger safety belts. Your bus driver follows the rules of the road and knows the streets inside and out, so you’ll always be on-time and never feel rushed.

Our tour guides are some of the most experienced in the business. Tired of listening to a monotone voice drone on and on? So were we. That’s why we take extra care to find guides that are personable and fun.

What kind of bus tours do you offer?

We operate daily tours in Miami, Key West, Orlando and the Everglades. The tours take place in a new coach bus, and provide an insider’s view of the culture, history, and fun facts that define the area. For example, did you know that 85% of Miami households speak Spanish as their first language? Well, now you do.

Are you travelling with kids? Great! We offer a family discount and special prices for ages 3 to 17. All the activities are family-friendly, we created the Everglades Tour specifically with families in mind. From having seat-belts on the bus, to the safety ear muffs for kids, to holding a baby gator, to the boat ride, there's fun stuff to keep everyone entertained.

Whether you want to explore the Wynwood Art District, put your feet on the sand in Miami Beach, experience Cuban food and culture, visit Everglades National Park, or go to Key West for the day, we’ve got the right thing to do.

Our ready-to-go sightseeing tours have everything you need for a great day of fun—free bottled water, illustrated maps, luggage storage, WiFi, and a phone charger at your seat. Buy tickets... Meet your guide... and away you go.

People often say, the Miami To The Max! half-day tour around the city is a great jumping off point for learning the layout of the land.

Art Deco Miami

The best Miami tours guide you through the city’s ultimate sights and eats

Tours in Miami aren’t just for tourists. These excursions offer up fun and fool-proof ways to experience the city

Virginia Gil

October 2019: We combed through our list of the best tours in Miami and did a bit of housekeeping: some tours no longer run, while others have bumped up their prices to meet demand. New to the roundup is a stylish and highly customizable classic car tour, plus an ultra zen moonlit kayak tour through the mangroves. Happy sightseeing!

Miami tours truly test your local knowledge. How well do you know Miami? If you’ve spent time swimming in the Miami beaches , visiting the best museums in Miami or sampling Cuban food in Little Havana , you’ve gotten a taste of what the Magic City has to offer. But there’s still so much more to experience. Consider one of the best tours in Miami as a fun way to delve deeper into the local culture, try authentic Latin cuisine and see a side of Art Deco Miami you never knew existed. Miami tours aren’t just for tourists anymore; these guided ventures give you a glimpse of the city you never knew you needed.

Best Miami tours

Stiltsville Boat Tour

1.  Stiltsville Boat Tour

What is it? Get a rare up-close view of Stiltsville, a curious Miami landmark of colorful, crumbling buildings originally built in the 1920s and '30s in the shallows on the northern end of Biscayne National Park.

Why go? Available as part of a daily two-hour Biscayne Bay sightseeing tour or customizable as a private tour, you'll want to book your time with Captain Matt, about whom National Geographic said: “A guided excursion could take you to the most spectacular place on Earth, but it is the operator who really makes the memory.”  $139

Little Havana Food and Walking Tour

2.  Little Havana Food and Walking Tour

What is it? If you’re the type who researches a city’s food scene before booking travel, this culinary tour will keep you from spending precious hours Googling away. Set off on a gut-busting journey through Little Havana, sampling the Cuban neighborhood’s authentic delights—from ice cream and cafecito to those irresistible croquetas.

Why go? Between stops, you’ll learn about the people, the culture and, of course, the food that make this place so special. $56

Miami Brew Bus

3.  Miami Brew Bus

What is it? This tour combines some of our favorite weekend activities into one: day drinking, sampling craft beers and letting others drive us around. If you’re interested in learning about Miami’s burgeoning local breweries, or just like drinking really good beer, grab a seat on the Brew Bus immediately.

Why go? You’ll be whisked away to several South Florida breweries on an air-conditioned minibus, given a tour of each facility and handed a complimentary beer of your choice at every location. Cheers to that.  $75

Miami Beach Food and Art Deco Walking Tour

4.  Miami Beach Food and Art Deco Walking Tour

What is it? More than showing you where The Birdcage was filmed, Art Deco walking tours are a fun, interactive way to learn all about South Beach’s historic architecture—without ever needing to refer to your guidebook.

Why go? You’ll learn to distinguish Mediterranean Revival from Miami Modern and be able to tell all your friends back home you were inside an actual Art Deco structure. Bonus: the three-hour tour includes five stops to snack and rest your feet.  $56

Miami Duck Tour

5.  Miami Duck Tour

What is it? Few tours will take a Pitbull dance break at a red light, but Duck Tours is unlike any other tour you’ll take in Miami. You’ll ride an amphibious truck, meaning it can travel on land and on water, through the streets of Miami Beach and downtown Miami, past Bayside Marketplace and into Biscayne Bay for a truly 360-degree view of the city.

Why go? Guides are informative but also really fun, so expect to hear the “#SELFIE” song when your peers start wielding their selfie sticks.  $33

Miami Night Photography Tour

6.  Miami Night Photography Tour

What is it? When all you’re seeing of Miami is revealed through a camera lens, you better know what you’re doing. Improve your photography skills during this one-hour workshop where students learn about camera settings, photo composition and, of course, capturing that perfect sunset shot for Instagram.

Why go? This hands-on, all-levels workshop is perfect if you’re looking to add to your portfolio and become a master chasing the light. You’ll need to BYO equipment, including a tripod and a variety of lenses, to get the most out of the tour/class. $125

Full Moon Over Miami River Cruise

7.  Full Moon Over Miami River Cruise

What is it? Ever wondered what downtown Miami was like before it was dotted by skyscrapers? What do you really know about the Tequesta Indians, Brickell’s earliest inhabitants? Hop aboard the Pelican Skipper catamaran and get answers to these and other questions on Dr. Paul George’s popular monthly cruise down the Miami River.

Why go? The boat sets off from centrally located (and typically poppin’)  Bayside Marketplace and guests can bring drinks and snacks on board. Admission to HistoryMiami is included in the ticket price. $60

Design District Public Art and Food Tour

8.  Design District Public Art and Food Tour

What is it? On this two-and-a-half-hour tour, you’ll sample food from St. Roch , taste wines at Abaco , tuck into a creamy soft serve ice cream at Mad Lab and more. Plus, your guide sneaks you into the designer shops to ogle their collections of commissioned art.

Why go? The bougie neighborhood gets a bad rap for being nothing more than a place to shop and for being expensive. While the latter might be true, there’s plenty to see and do in the MDD that has nothing to do with retail. $69

Classic Car Tour

9.  Classic Car Tour

What is it?  Cruise Miami in style in a rare and gorgeous 1960 Ford Sunliner convertible on one of several history-filled sightseeing tours around Miami and the beaches.

Why go?  The luxe private tours don’t run cheap but are highly customizable, with options to build in stops at popular destinations in Little Havana, Wynwood and more⁠—plus pick-up and drop-off at a location of your choosing. $TBD

Coconut Grove Food and History Tour

10.  Coconut Grove Food and History Tour

What is it?  Taking place every Saturday at 12:30pm and running three hours, this restaurant adventure takes guests to the neighborhood’s most popular restaurants, including Glass & Vine  and  Ariete . Historical stops are built into the route as well.

Why go?  It was only a matter of time until this charming dining destination that boasts concepts from some of the city’s best chefs had its own culinary tour, but it’s finally Coconut Grove ’s moment in the sun.  $69  

Miami Puzzling Adventure

11.  Miami Puzzling Adventure

What is it? Here’s a fun one for locals: a scavenger hunt that takes you throughout Miami as you complete brain teasers, solve puzzles and answer questions on your smartphone. Do it solo or with a group and take as much time as you need.

Why go? Participants are timed on travel and the time it takes them to complete a challenge, though the walking tour shouldn’t take more than two hours.  $50

MiMO (Miami Modern) Tour

12.  MiMO (Miami Modern) Tour

What is it? This two-hour walking tour spotlights the neighborhood’s unique traits and its MiMo influences across public and private structures. This Miami Design League tour is offered for private groups only, so convince your friends.

Why go?  Most of us know MiMo from the pastel-hued motels along Biscayne Bay, the historic Vagabond Hotel or the arresting Coppertone girl sign. But few realize that this iconic Miami Modern architecture also has a place on the North Shore of Miami Beach. $TBD

Town of Surfside Walking Tours

13.  Town of Surfside Walking Tours

What is it?  Get to know the quaint town of Surfside, a beachfront neighborhood with cute pedestrian walkways, family-owned shops and a small community center compete with waterslides for the kids.

Why go?  Everyone's favorite local historian, Dr. Paul George, leads three free walking tours in 2020 (Feb 9, Mar 29, May 3) down Harding and Collins Avenue, where many galas and fancy black-tie affairs attended by the likes of Frank Sinatra and Elizabeth Taylor were once held. Nature is also a big part of the experience as attendees learn about the area's protected loggerhead turtles. Tours depart from the Surfside Community Center . 

Wynwood Graffiti Experience

14.  Wynwood Graffiti Experience

What is it? No matter what the countless murals in Wynwood might lead you to believe, spray painting a vacant wall is still very much illegal. Fortunately, this workshop and tour gives you free rein without the risk of defacing public property.

Why go? Led by a real-life street artist, the class takes place at an artist studio (address is provided upon booking). Students are handed a can of paint, a mask (safety first!) and shown how to write, blend colors and illustrate using different spray tips.  $36

The Grand Miami Air Tour

15.  The Grand Miami Air Tour

What is it? Pressed for time? This is how you see Miami’s essential sights in under an hour. Your pilot will not only steer you clear of danger but also give you the lowdown on what you’re seeing below.

Why go? Fly over South Beach, through Downtown and across Biscayne Bay as you soak in the city’s beautiful skyline and indelible Art Deco architecture.  $165

Florida Everglades Hike, Kayak and Airboat Tour

16.  Florida Everglades Hike, Kayak and Airboat Tour

What is it? Those willing to brave the elements for an up-close glimpse of South Florida’s most impressive landscape should opt for an amphibian experience. Start with a one-hour airboat tour, which whisks you through thousands of tiny islands and past native wildlife.

Why go? You’ll see crocodiles and alligators (the Everglades is among the few places in the world where the two species cohabitate), as well as all sorts of other wildlife, many of which are endangered. A dry hike led by a naturalist and lunch are included in this unique adventure. $209

Big Bus Miami Hop-On Hop-Off Tour

17.  Big Bus Miami Hop-On Hop-Off Tour

What is it? What’s a sightseeing tour throughout Miami without a little traffic? Not an authentic one, that's for sure. If you're bound to get stuck beyond the wheel, it’s best you leave the driving to someone else so that you can spend the afternoon gawking out the window, taking in the city’s fabulous architecture and those stunning ocean views.

Why go? Each bus has its own tour guide to point out and explain the sites. Another perk of riding the Big Bus? You'll never have to deal yet another Miami transportation struggle: parking.  $29

Wynwood Graffiti Golf Cart Tour

18.  Wynwood Graffiti Golf Cart Tour

What is it? Cover more ground while exploring Wynwood’s myriad murals on a graffiti buggy tour. You’ll hop on the golf cart for a one-hour ride through the colorful arts district, learning about the popular street art and the artists who created it.

Why go?  Do you suffer from FOMO? No worries! This fast-paced route brings you past more than 50 of the area’s galleries and murals. $39

Full Moon Kayak Tour

19.  Full Moon Kayak Tour

What is it?  Glide your way through the arched mangrove canopy and bask under the light of the moon and stars on this monthly tour at scenic Oleta River State Park.

Why go?  Guides will lead you through the peaceful intercoastal waterway to the park’s hidden treasure: Sandspur Island. The tour ends back at the beach cove for s’mores and refreshments around the campfire. $50

Coral Gables Bike Tour

20.  Coral Gables Bike Tour

What is it? The fastest way to learn why Coral Gables was nicknamed the City Beautiful is on one of its family-friendly bike tours, presented by the Coral Gables Museum and Bike Walk Coral Gables.

Why go? You’ll ride down tree-lined boulevards, around historic fountains and past picturesque homes built in the grand Mediterranean Revival architectural style. The route changes monthly to include different neighborhoods and bike rentals are available. $10

Beyond being a great culinary destination, Miami is also famous for its lively nightlife.

Florida Everglades Tours

Everglades National Park is 1.5 million-acre wetlands preserve located in South Florida. The park is made up of coastal mangroves, sawgrass marshes, and pine flatwoods that kind of look like a grassy river that’s flowing very slowly. The park is home to a mind-boggling mix of plants and animals including the Florida panther, the leatherback turtle, and the West Indian manatee. 

The Everglades is one of the most popular attractions in Florida (besides Disney) and no trip to Miami is complete without an excursion through these expansive wetlands.

17. Private and Semi-Private Airboat Tour of the Everglades

Everglades Nature Tours offers a one-hour tour that covers the flora and fauna of the Everglades ecosystem and the history of the area. Although the tour is short, there is plenty of time for wildlife spotting and people of all ages will enjoy this time to reconnect with Mother Nature. 

If you prefer to explore the Everglades on foot, they also offer the one-and-a-half-hour-long “Take a Walk Tour” that gives an even closer look at the plants and animals that call it home. The tour guides are experienced naturists who are more than happy to take you for a walk on the even wilder side!

18. 1.5 Hour Semi-Private Airboat Tours

If you want to spend a bit more time on the airboat, you may want to consider going with The River of Grass Adventures . They take you on a one-and-a-half-hour-long journey into Everglades National Park where you can try to spot wildlife like otters, alligators, turtles, and birds. 

The tour is limited to just eight people, which means that you won’t need to stretch over people for a better view, and the tour captains are well versed in the different flora and fauna of the “River of Grass”. Tours run frequently from sunrise to sunset and it’s a great activity for kids aged five and older. If you want to stay out on the water even longer, they also offer private two and two and a half-hour long airboat tours.

19. Shark Valley Tram Tours

The Shark Valley Tram Tour is a two-hour journey deep into the Shark Valley area of the Everglades National Park. Here, you can learn more about this breathtaking ecosystem and climb a 45-foot observation deck that has views stretching up to 20 miles in all directions. Keep your eyes open as you’re bound to see a lot of wildlife. 

The tram runs many times throughout the day, making it convenient to go for a ride. Keep in mind that the ticket price does not include entrance fees into the park so make sure to budget that in when you’re comparing costs.

20. Semi-Private Airboat Adventure

Another great option for an Everglades tour is with Airboat in Everglades . During the small-group tour, you may be lucky enough to see turtles, alligators, and more as you go through eight miles of the Everglades! They also offer private and sunset tours. 

Although they don’t provide transport for their budget airboat tour, the launch point is located just 35 minutes west of South Beach, which makes it easy to get to if you have your own vehicle.

With its location in South Florida, Miami provides a great base for doing day trips to the Florida Keys. If you want to rent a car, there truly is an endless list of places to visit. 

21. Key West Tour

The Florida Keys lie just a short drive from Miami and it’s possible to visit Key West on an epic 14-hour long day trip from the city. Organized by Miami Tour Company, the Key West Tour includes transportation to Key West via the magnificent Overseas Highway where you can watch the sparkling ocean through panoramic windows. 

Tours leave from the Holiday Inn in Downtown Miami and there is a free shuttle bus service from Miami Beach, Downtown Miami, and the Miami Airport. You’ll have six hours of free time in Key West where you can take advantage of the many opportunities to go snorkeling, parasailing, or taking a ride on a glass-bottom boat. 

If you’re a fan of history, you may also want to visit the Hemingway House, the Mel Fisher Museum, the Coast Guard Museum, or the Shipwreck Museum. You can purchase tickets for the additional activities while you’re on the bus, which allows you to save time when you get to the island. 

To learn about all of the great things to do there, make sure to check out our guide to the Best Things to Do in Key West.

22. Ultimate Miami and Beaches Seaplane Tour

If you want to catch that beautiful aerial shot that you always see in movies set in Miami, why not try a seaplane tour? During this one-hour flight operated by Miami Seaplane Tours , you’ll get a bird’s eye view of the city skyline, Key Biscayne, the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, and Stiltsville. In certain areas, the pilot can even fly low enough to see marine animals swimming down below. 

Depending on the weather, planes take off multiple times a day. If you’re short on time, they also offer a 30-minute flight, which still offers some wonderful views of the city skyline. Alternatively, you can opt for a day tour to Key West. This eight-hour tour is pretty pricey though, so you may want to save it for a special event.

Warning: this episode contains strong language.

Over the past week, students at dozens of universities held demonstrations, set up encampments and, at times, seized academic buildings. In response, administrators at many of those colleges decided to crack down and called in the local police to detain and arrest demonstrators.

As of Thursday, the police had arrested 2,000 people across more than 40 campuses, a situation so startling that President Biden could no longer ignore it.

Jonathan Wolfe, who has been covering the student protests for The Times, and Peter Baker, the chief White House correspondent, discuss the history-making week.

Background reading

As crews cleared the remnants of an encampment at U.C.L.A., students and faculty members wondered how the university could have handled protests over the war in Gaza so badly .

Biden denounced violence on campus , breaking his silence after a rash of arrests.
