OMG terrible! The bus...

OMG terrible! The bus didn’t have air conditioning and they didn’t let us know. We couldn’t complete the loop and didn’t enjoy the tour.

Not enough buses in Miami

We have used this company in so many locations in Europe. We were very disappointed in Miami. We joined the tour after a rain storm. The driver drove too fast ( in pur opion) hitting low haning branches with no warning and we were absolutely soaked and dodging falling branches. There was no warning from the driver that the tour was coming to the end and we were rudely shouted at to get off the bus. We joined the bus again the following day ( without the rain)but the driver was equality rude. On our last trip the driver did speak to the passengers telling everyone it was the last bus of the day. On the whole we have found this company very rude and unwelcoming. We waited a long time for the buses to arrive in comparison to the same company in other locations. There seemed to be just two buses operating in this location at one time which isn't enough, far too much waiting time! I would not recommend using this company on a short trip to Miami!

Terrible service!

I booked this experience with my son. On the website they write that the buses pass every 30 minutes but it is not true! They pass every hour! Furthermore, it was raining and we could not stay on the uncovered part. We went downstairs and there was no air conditioning! An unbearable heat! Never again a Big Bus!

Would Not Recommend on Super Hot Days

The a/c in the bottom portion of the bus was not working and it was sweltering hot. The top of the bus had a full right side of speakers that did not work with the earbuds provided. There were times were the trees got through the top shield and sides. The driver was going a little fast at times. A woman threw up from motion sickness on the top half, her friend told the driver and he did not stop to help or clean it up. Wear a hat if you sit at the top.

Disappointed with Hop On and Off

This was awful. They were late every time, and the AC did not work, Miami and no AC. It made for a miserable drive anywhere.

A good way to see Miami

Overall, a great way to see the key areas of Miami. The tour was around 2 hours and had headphones given to us for a commentary on the area. Whilst I have no issue with a pre-recorded track I found the commentary focused far too much on the shopping areas and great places to spend cash rather than delving into more of the history of the area. In the areas such as little Havana the history was great and was very enjoyable. Overall, would recommend.

Avoid, get another operator

Booking was horrendous. Arrived before departure to be snapped at that the last tour left 20 minutes ago. Contacted customer service for refund or to use the next day and asked the correct departure times. Ignored. Followed up and refund refused and limited information provided. Could not use voucher and nobody assisted in customer services. Kiosk operator and lady driver there initially were rude, severely lacking in customer care skills and understanding of basic English. Avoid.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience and fully understand how frustrating it must have been from the moment of arrival. Being given incorrect information about departure times and then not receiving the support or assistance needed afterward is not the level of service we aim to provide. We are particularly concerned by your comments regarding the behavior of both the kiosk operator and the driver. All customers should be treated with courtesy, patience, and professionalism, and we sincerely regret that this was not your experience. Your feedback regarding communication and customer care is very important and will be shared with our local team for review and improvement. We also regret that your attempts to contact customer service did not provide the clarity or support you needed. Clear, timely communication is essential, and your experience highlights an area where we need to do better. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve our service. Flavius@BigBusTours
