Big Bus Miami runs the standard hop-on-hop-off open-top double-decker tours that exist in every major tourist city — a continuous loop with stops at downtown Miami, South Beach (5th, 11th, and 17th Street stops), Wynwood, Coconut Grove, Bayside Marketplace, and a few other major points. Buses run every 20-30 minutes from roughly 9am to 5pm.

The 1-day pass ($45-55) is sufficient for most visitors who want to see the city as a quick orientation. 2-3 day passes ($60-80) make sense if you want to use the buses as transportation between neighborhoods over a longer trip — Miami's rideshare costs add up if you're moving around a lot, and the buses are typically cheaper for couples or families.

Audio commentary on each bus runs through the route's history and major sights via headphones (provided). It's predictable tourist-bus narration but useful for first-timers getting oriented — you'll understand the geography of Miami much better after one full loop. Multiple language options.

Best used as flexible transportation: hop off at Wynwood for two hours of street art and lunch, catch the next bus to South Beach for a beach afternoon, then back to your downtown hotel. The open-top deck is the experience; covered seating is available for rain or strong sun. Some packages include the Biscayne Bay sightseeing cruise — worth checking when booking.
