Your tour ends with a beer included at one of the most iconic bars in Miami. Launch your night out in SoBe with some great tunes, a great atmosphere and maybe even a few dance moves.
Your guide will lead you back toward the water and down Collins Street, one of Miami's most historically preserved sections. It's here that you'll discover the classic Art Deco architecture, see the art scene at its finest, and get a feel for the character that uniquely defines Miami Beach.
Your tour will take a turn inland as your guide introduces you to the local side of this touristy neighborhood. Hear the immigration story of South Beach, both past and present, along with some legendary boxing history where you'd least expect it.
It'll be just about time to cool down, and what better way than with a refreshing tropical cocktail… next to a pool… on the roof…. overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and with views of the Miami skyline?! Book the tour at the right time of year, and you'll be able to catch the sunset from this hidden perch that very few tourists discover on their own.
Begin your tour by meeting your guide at picturesque Bayfront Park. Situated along the waterfront, next to the high-rises of Downtown Miami, this beautiful green space has been a popular event and recreation space since the 1920's. Today it plays host to events for tens of thousands of people such as a New Years Party and the world famous Ultra Music Festival.
You'll start the second half of your Miamii tour at a South Beach classic location on Ocean Drive, in the heart of the action. After meeting your guide, you'll make your way down this photogenic street and hear stories on the history of Miami Beach and how this place evolved into the trendy and stylish place it is today.
You'll then head out onto the water in a local water taxi. You'll enjoy views of some of the barrier islands and sights around Miami in Biscayne Bay - such as Monument Island, Star Island, the dazzling city skyline, and the bustling Cruise Ship Port. See where the rich and famous call home in South Florida - the aptly-named Star Island. Learn about Miami's most popular celebrities such as Gloria Estefan and Shaquille O'Neal. And discover how this man-made island has transformed into one of the hottest addresses in the city.
After we dock, we'll continue our tour of the hot-hot-hot South Beach neighborhood. Home to some of the most colorful art and architecture in the country, this area of Miami is a haven for Art Deco lovers. And you can't visit South Beach without hitting South Beach itself! We'll perhaps take a stroll along the sandy shore, explore South Pointe Park Pier, and hear stories about the glamorous South Beach culture.
Then it's time to hit the beach! Kick off your shoes and join the locals on the sand during the best time of day to be there (weather permitting, of course). Feel the sand between your toes as you hear about the beach culture, the history of South Beach, and its local quirks. Take in the evening breeze, and have some fun with a beach activity. Maybe a salsa lesson? A volleyball match? A game of Truth or Dare? (Maybe not!) Your guide will choose his/her favorite, and the fun is guaranteed.
After this relaxing stop, come back down to Earth and follow your guide to discover a famous mansion (with an infamous history), along with a couple more photo ops along the way.
After our beach stroll, we'll have a chance to stop for a refreshment at your guide's favorite local bar, cafe, or ice cream shop. Nothing says "Miami" like a cold drink or sweet treat in your hand on a sunny afternoon. You'll then have about 45 minutes before the start of the second half of your tour. Your guide will walk with you through the South Beach neighborhood and you'll have some time to spend chatting with your guide, have a rest, or find a spot for a quick a snack or drink.

Then it's time to hit the beach! Kick off your shoes and join the locals on the sand during the best time of day to be there (weather permitting, of course). Feel the sand between your toes as you hear about the beach culture, the history of South Beach, and its local quirks. Take in the evening breeze, and have some fun with a beach activity. Maybe a salsa lesson? A volleyball match? A game of Truth or Dare? (Maybe not!) Your guide will choose his/her favorite, and the fun is guaranteed.

Full Itinerary
You'll begin this part of your tour with a visit to the famous Wynwood Walls and Wynwood Doors, featuring some of Miami's most iconic street art.
Your Miami tour begins in the heart of Miami's Cuban community. We'll check out some historic architectural beauties, as well as a few unique art collections.
We see the important Bay of Pigs monument on route to a favorite local juice bar, where you get to quench your thirst with a dose of sugarcane or mango juice. We continue our stroll down SW 8th Street to experience the Caribbean flavour that fills the air, from the classic Domino Park where locals challenge one another to domino games, to the conga music that's played live in the streets.
Next up, another Cuban culture classic: a visit to a classic cigar factory. Witness the art of cigar-rolling from the experts, and take in the one-of-a-kind aroma of the shop.
More murals, more street art and more people-watching come next as you pass by trendy local shops and head toward the final stop of the day. Enjoy another beer (or non-alcoholic beverage) in one of the best atmospheres in Miami.
Of course, you can't have a Little Havana tour without a true Cuban coffee in-hand, so we're taking you for the most delicious dose of caffeine you'll find this side of the Florida Straits. Cortadito is Cuban espresso, and we'll pair it with a typical Cuban pastry to give you the boost you need to keep moving on your Miami tour!
Your Little Havana Adventure will end at one of the neighborhood's favorite watering holes for a taste of a classic mojito. You'll then travel via Lyft or Uber with your guide to the Wynwood Arts District, where the second half of your tour will take place.
From there, we're off to visit one of the many locally owned art galleries in the neighborhood. Hear stories from first-generation immigrants from Cuba, and learn about the influence of Cuban art in Miami.

From there, we're heading off-the-beaten-path to the Wynwood neighborhood, where you can view iconic murals, mosaics and graffiti art. Your Miami city tour will then proceed along 2nd Avenue, stopping at galleries featuring fine art, pop art, and contemporary art from notable artists.
We'll bid farewell from there, but if you need any hot Miami suggestions for the rest of your stay, just ask.
After the brewery, we'll take you past a local coffee shop that roasts their own coffee, as well as a great neighborhood marketplace (Fridays through Sundays only). We'll also stop for one of the most popular spots in the area for a tasty snack.
Next, you'll take a break at a trendy brewery to test out a beer made in-house (or alternatively a non-alcoholic beverage). While you're enjoying your drink, your guide will talk you through the history of beer in Miami, you'll learn about the beer-making process, and we'll discuss current local beer culture in Miami.
