Nice night for an open top tour b
Had difficulty understanding the tour guide. Language barrier. He tried hard.
The driver was excellent.
It was a perfect night for the tour.

Very windy on top. Felt...
Very windy on top. Felt like we couldn’t hear half of the narration when going 45mph. Guide was knowledgeable and good trivia.
Operator response
Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the guide's knowledge and trivia.
We're sorry that the wind and travel speed on the upper deck made parts of the narration difficult to hear. While the open-top experience offers fantastic views, weather conditions can sometimes affect audio clarity. We appreciate your feedback and are pleased that, despite this, you still enjoyed the tour overall. We hope to welcome you aboard again soon!

Loved it! Tour was great, definitely recommend securing your hair it gets windy! lol The guide was also funny and I’m glad the weather was nice.
Operator response
Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear that you loved the tour.
We're glad you enjoyed the experience, the nice weather, and your guide's sense of humor. And that's a great tip for future guests, the open-top views are fantastic, but it can definitely get a little windy up there!
We hope to welcome you aboard again on another adventure soon. Safe travels! Raul@BigBusTours

Not worth it.
The microphone didn't work, there was no guided tour. We drove to a couple of places but not all of the ones noted on the tour. The guide was friendly.
Operator response
Hello, Pamela!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
While we are glad to hear that you found our guide friendly, we are truly sorry that technical issues with the microphone prevented us from delivering the fully guided tour you expected.
We apologize as well for any route deviations or missed stops during your trip. Clear commentary and a complete, scenic route are fundamental to our night tours, so we have passed your notes directly to our Miami operations team to inspect the onboard audio equipment and review the route timing.
We appreciate your candid review, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a seamless, fully narrated experience in the future.

Refund requested for 2 previously purchased tickets for the tour in 09/11/26.
We were not told that you could only hear the narration on the top level until we checked in at the ticket booth. My friend and I are both handicapped and could not climb the stairs to the top level. We prepaid for our tickets. The tour was a total waste for us handicapped people. The description of the tour did reference that if you were handicapped you could not hear the narration of the tour on the first level. The tour guide said during the tour that on their day tours you could hear the narration on the lower level. This is totally against the American Against Disabillities Act. We heard no information on the lower level of the bus. We just paid all this money for no information on Miami. I called Vistor to relate this problem to your agent on the phone. She submitted this problem to Viator on 09/11/26. She said that I would receive a notification from Viator regarding this issue. To date I have not information from Viator regarding the refund of my purses of 2 tickets for us handicapped people. I shattered my knee cap on June 1, 2026. I had surgery on June 9, 2026. I never would have booked this tour if It was disclosed that we would not hear the narration of the tour on the lower level. Therefore submitting my second request for a total refund on the 2 tickets that I purchased. I would like to receive a reply from you regarding this matter. I have booked other tours in the past but I never had a problem with your tours. Thank you for your assistance with this matter.
Operator response

Waste of Time & Money at Night
The speakers were terrible so I couldn’t hear anything until we were completely stopped. Then there’s tree branches you have to DUCK or you’ll be hit in the face. Unfortunately, iPhone still doesn’t do well at night so majority of pictures aren’t great and honestly, there wasn’t too much that was just very interesting to see. The mansions they pointed out weren’t visible. I was more than ready to get off.
Operator response
Hi Tee_O. We wish to thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to learn that the tour wasn't that interesting, and that the audio experience was difficult to hear. We aim to showcase the most important sights of Miami, and the city has a completely different and vibrant energy at night. Some areas may be darker, but the tour passes by the most illuminated landmarks too. And we're actively working on enhancing our audio experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again soon. Best regards, Vlad @BigBusTours
