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?

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.

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.

We first start with the city tour in the morning then we decided to book the following day for the everglades. The experience on the hard top convertible bus is unique, my kids went crazy for this bus and we had a blast.Safe driver and very fun guide.

We booked a 2 tours sunset/night tour, it was awesome. The driver/guide drop us shortly to take fews pictures and show us the best spots to go out by night. Beautiful colors to take picture of Miami by the bridge, I recommend it

Ideal to start your Miami vacation. The bus is super nice and we are in the open air, that's the difference. Global tour of Miami and these different neighborhoods. The guide is excellent, dynamic, with a real knowledge of life in Miami. We also stop during the visit, to better discover the neighborhoods. We do not see the time spent. It's great..!!!

My husband and I had a very good time for our vacations in Miami. Andre is an excellent guide and you can really tell he loves what he does. Highly recommend this tour bus.

We had a great time touring Miami on the panoramic bus tour. Seating is comfortable and they don’t cram people in like other bus tours. Towards the end the sun started beating a little hard but the driver closed the glass roof and was perfect with air conditioning.

Had a great tour and would highly recommend. Great to be in an open bus and able to see everything. Had stops in Wynwood to see the walls and in Little Havana. Excellent guide. Nice to be part of a small tour and not be with the masses. A definite must do!!

We had a very good time, the reviews are accurate and the guide is excellent, the cabriolet bus is really great, we stopped at Wynwood where we could visit the Wall, the children were also delighted, an activity to recommend on Miami!

Great experience. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. One of the best Miami tours I experience. Learned a lot about the city. I would definitely recommend

Best way to plan the res of your trip. You get to see the hotspots and decide whether you want to return later to spend more time. Great experience especially at night. Miami is lit up!

Friendly driver and open air tour made for a fun evening looking at lights of Miami. Downtown art deco building with lit signs was the highlight. Unimpeded views to look upwards makes all the difference.

"Fighting for Reproductive Freedom" bus tour kicks off nationwide tour in South Florida

By Ted Scouten

Updated on: September 3, 2024 / 6:25 PM EDT / CBS Miami

MIAMI - The Kamala Harris campaign is bringing the "Fighting for Reproductive Freedom" nationwide bus tour to Donald Trump 's doorstep, driving by Mar-a-Lago . 

"What better place to kick off the Harris-Walz Reproductive Freedom Bus Tour than in Donald Trump's backyard," Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman asked the cheering crowd. 

The tour kicked off this morning in Boynton Beach and while Vice President Harris was not there, her surrogates were.

"They will push for a national abortion ban," said Democratic US Senate Candidate Debbie Mucarsel-Powell.

Harris supporters want to make sure voters know Trump initially appeared to oppose Florida's 6-week abortion ban. 

"So, I think six weeks, you need more time than six weeks," Trump said on Fox News.

Later Trump said he'd vote against Florida's Amendment 4, which would enshrine abortion rights into the state constitution. 

"At the same time the Democrats are radicals because the nine months is just a ridiculous situation," Trump went on to say, "I will be voting no for that reason."

Wasserman Schultz reminded supporters, "On Friday, he committed to voting no on Amendment 4 doubling down on what we already knew, you can't trust a damn thing coming out of that liar's mouth," she said.

About a dozen Trump supporters rallied outside the event, some yelling, "Baby killers! Shame on you."

"We don't agree with her policies. We want Trump back in the White House," said Trump supporter Justin Nevarez.

Harris supporters arguing Trump policies are dangerous for women. 

"We're afraid of what would happen if the other party gets power again. They didn't prove they've done anything good for us," said Harris supporter Faith Kohn. 

From here the bus tour goes up to Jacksonville, then it will tour about 50 cities in the US, leading up to Election Day.

Miami tours and MSC Shore Excursions

There’s a reason why Miami, Florida, is called the Magic City, and Miami tours allow you to experience first-hand the wonder and awe that accompanies this tropical metropolis. MSC shore excursions ensure your holiday to Miami isn’t complete without tasting the city’s authentic flavours. Enjoy traditional cuisines from nations across the Caribbean in Little Havana , Miami’s historic neighbourhood that serves as a cultural hub for the city’s Cuban-American community. Fuel up for your Miami holiday adventures with a cortadito, a traditional Cuban drink containing sweetened espresso and steamed, whole milk that pairs well with a pastelito de guayaba y queso, a flaky puff pastry filled with sweet guava and cheese.

Hungry bellies will be satiated with a hearty meal of mofongo, a traditional Puerto Rican dish in which plantains are mashed with mortar and pestle before grilled meats like skirt steak and shrimp are piled on top. Looking to complement your Miami holidays with some fun under the sun? Miami Beach boasts more than nine miles of wide, sandy beaches and warm, calm ocean – perfect for relaxation and bonding with loved ones. Architectural and historical buffs will marvel at the pastel splendour of Miami Beach’s Ocean Drive , where splashes of pink, orange and yellow hearken back to Miami’s history at the forefront of Art Deco architecture.

THE NO. 1 GEORGIA BULLDOGS, THE NO. 19 MIAMI HURRICANES AND OTHER WEEK 1 WINNERS

Star quarterback? Check. Superstar-laden defense? Check. Coach who just doesn't lose in the regular season? Check. Another domination of a supposed challenger? Check. Georgia isn't No. 1 for a reason; it's No. 1 for many, many reasons, and they were all on display in the Bulldogs' 34-3 dismantling of No. 14 Clemson .

• Carson Beck threw for 278 yards and a pair of second-half touchdowns. Fellow potential future top-10 pick Malaki Starks had an incredible interception.
• With star running back Trevor Etienne suspended , Nate Frazier shined with 107 total yards and a touchdown.
• Clemson averaged 3.6 yards per play; Georgia more than doubled that at 7.5.
• Georgia has won 40 straight regular-season games.

Georgia looked awesome. So, too, did No. 19 Miami . The Hurricanes routed Florida ,  41-17 , for the most points the Gators have allowed in a home opener.

Miami embraced NIL pandemonium  to get here, and now that it's here, "The U" ... is back , Dennis Dodd writes.

• Dodd: "The 'Canes have found themselves a quarterback, there is no doubt. ... Cam Ward -- who has thrown for more yards than anyone in Division I since 2020 -- threw for 385 yards and three touchdowns in his first start for the 'Canes. ... There is a whole season to go but, gosh, they look cool. They look physical. They look damn good. They look like the old Miami. Too soon? Perhaps. That's why on opening day it was OK to believe all of it for just a while."

Miami also opened up multiple playoff paths already , Chip Patterson writes.

Here's more ...

• Arch Manning shined in his most game action yet.
• The  Nico Iamaleava   hype train has left the station .
• No. 2 Ohio State bulldozed Akron 52-6 , and Jeremiah Smith   is awesome .
• No. 7 Notre Dame went on the road   and topped No. 20 Texas A&M , 23-13 .
• Tetairoa McMillan 's stat line looks fake. It's real.
• Team grades
• Winners and losers
• Overreactions
• Transfer QB grades
• Good, bad and ugly from every SEC team

😃 Honorable mentions

• A'ja Wilson is on her way to becoming the first WNBA player to score 1,000 points in a season .
• Caitlin Clark is chasing down another rookie record .
• The Steelers voted Russell Wilson a team captain . Same for the Giants and Daniel Jones as well as the Bears and Caleb Williams .
• The GOAT might be getting even better. Joey Chestnut   downed 83 hot dogs and buns  Monday, setting a new world record and defeating former longtime rival  Takeru Kobayashi , who ate 67. 

🏈 And not such a good morning for ...

THE "TOP" OF THE ACC (EXCEPT MIAMI), LSU AND OTHER WEEK 1 LOSERS

If anyone can find a silver lining to  No. 10 Florida State 's 0-2 start, you have much better vision than I do. The Seminoles were simply outclassed in a 28-13 loss to Boston College on Monday. The Seminoles are the first preseason top-10 team to start its season off with consecutive losses to unranked opponents since 2007 Michigan .

It's a shocking loss, but there's really not much to say. It wasn't much different from what we saw against Georgia Tech in Week 0.  D.J. Uiagalelei  was pressured often, and when he wasn't pressured, he missed easy throws. The Seminoles ran 16 times for 21 yards. The Eagles ran 52 times for 263 yards -- and that's with kneeling three times to end the game.

Some will say Florida State lacks identity, that it doesn't quite know what it is after so much offseason turnover. But that's not true. Its identity is a middling team without anything to hang its hat on. The 0-2 record tells you all you need to know.

Elsewhere in the ACC, remember when Clemson went from one superstar quarterback ( Deshaun Watson ) to another ( Trevor Lawrence ) with just a year in between? When it was producing so many wide receivers it was up there in the "Wide Receiver U" debates thanks to guys like  DeAndre Hopkins (who's now  calling for change )? Or, to put it simply, when it was winning national championships?

Those days are long gone. Clemson has played Georgia twice in the last four seasons and hasn't scored a touchdown in either game. Dabo Swinney has a multitude of issues -- his largest loss since 2013 proves that -- and his unwillingness to use the transfer portal and his struggles to identify and/or develop talent , are chief among them, Brandon Marcello writes.

The ACC's hopes of being a multi-bid conference are nearly gone already, and we're barely into September! Here's my favorite stat so far: Double-digit favorites are 71-3 this season. Two of the three losses belong to Florida State, and the other one belongs to fellow ACC team Virginia Tech . (Shoutout Vanderbilt !)

Clemson entered the season with high hopes for a rebound. Florida, meanwhile, entered with low hopes again, and maybe that's even worse. The clock is ticking even faster on Billy Napier  already (even with that massive buyout ), John Talty writes.

Fittingly, Napier and Swinney are former co-workers, and now they're in the same boat , says Richard Johnson.

Finally, they say a picture is worth 1,000 words. We could write 1,000 (or more!) words on the Brian Kelly era at LSU -- a 20-8 record overall but a ghastly 3-7 vs. ranked teams after the Tigers fell, 27-20 , to No. 23 USC -- but the picture will do: Kelly slamming the table in frustration during his post-game interview.

But really, it's the LSU fans who should be even angrier at Kelly , John writes.

• Talty: "This is what LSU gets for $10 million a year? Another highly anticipated season that immediately goes off the rails? ... It's not that LSU is far off, as shown in Sunday's tight loss, but as college coaches have explained over the years, thisclose is often the hardest part."

😓 Not so honorable mentions

• Ja'Marr Chase still isn't practicing .
• Ricky Pearsall  was shot in the chest during a robbery attempt . Thankfully, the 49ers rookie was upgraded from "serious" to "fair" condition within hours and was released from the hospital shortly thereafter, a truly miraculous outcome. In far less important news, he will start the season on the non-football injury list .
• The "Pac-2" of Washington State and Oregon State  are in football limbo after the Mountain West announced it will not renew its scheduling agreement .
• The  White Sox  broke the  franchise record for losses in a season . Up next? Most losses in a season in MLB history!
• Jordan Spieth had  wrist surgery .
• Ludvig Åberg will have knee surgery .

🏌 Scottie Scheffler wins Tour Championship, accomplishes feat not done since Tiger Woods

It's no hyperbole:  Scottie Scheffler  just completed one of the greatest PGA Tour seasons in recent memory, fittingly capping it off with a  four-shot victory at the Tour Championship  and, oh yeah,  another $25 million .

Let's do a quick rundown of what Scheffler accomplished on the course this year:

• Seven PGA Tour victories, most by any player in a season since  Tiger Woods  in 2007
• Masters champion (his second green jacket)
• Players Championship winner (first back-to-back winner ever)
• Olympic gold medal
• 16 top-10 finishes, 12 top-5 finishes and zero missed cuts in 19 Tour starts
• Over $62 million in earnings

Some of the best players in the world  don't reach those heights in a career, much less a season , Kyle Porter explains.

• Porter:  " Scheffler has never been more in control mentally. It's his secret sauce and his greatest gift. He wants to win the right amount. He's not defined by it, but he dives into competition earnestly, every chance he gets. ... He basically had  Hideki Matsuyama 's career between March 1 and Sept. 1, and he did it in the most Scottie way imaginable."

Throw in the off-course stuff, both good (becoming a father) and not-so-good (being arrested --  all of the charges were dropped ), and you get a season that won't be replicated in any way, shape or form. The only thing that's stopping him (and stopping us from enjoying his greatness), for now, is the offseason. I can't wait to see what he does for an encore.

⚾ MLB roundup and players facing important final month

It may have been Labor Day weekend, but MLB teams weren't getting any sort of break as the regular season now concludes in less than four weeks.

The  Phillies  won three of four against the  Braves  to widen their NL East lead to six games. But Philly has its eyes set on much bigger goals and lands the No. 1 player on R.J. Anderson's  10 players facing important Septembers .

• Anderson:   " Bryce Harper  has had a brilliant season overall, but he's not far removed from a July that doubled as the worst full month of his career. (He posted a .598 OPS in 17 games.) Harper's power has also vanished since the end of June, with him launching just two home runs in his last 32 games. ... Harper admitted over the weekend that  he's been dealing with wrist and elbow discomfort . If the Phillies are going to win the NL East and make a serious run at the pennant, they'll need Harper to regain his power stroke soon."

Speaking of important players, rosters expanded from 26 to 28, and R.J. looked at the  most intriguing additions .

Here's more news from around the playoff races:

• Matt Snyder's latest Power Rankings .
• Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts  and  Freddie Freeman  went  back-to-back-to-back .
• Clayton Kershaw  (toe) is  back on the IL .
• Fernando Tatis Jr.   is back .
• Willy Adames   homered for a fifth straight game , tying an MLB record for a shortstop.
• Kodai Senga  is  willing to pitch in relief  if he returns from his calf injury.
• Michael Harris II  made the  catch of the year .
• The  Yankees   did not call up  Jasson Domínguez .
