Not only was I raised in Miami but I'm also a real estate agent so I'm familiar with every crevice and corner of the Magic City. My family had a travel agency so I know the tourism industry well and know exactly what world travelers are looking for when they visit a new city. I LOVE Miami as well as sharing my passion for it with tourists. By the time I was 18, I was planning and escorting tours of 50-75 guests all over the world. I know firsthand exactly what world travelers expect out of a tour and from their guide, a first class experience that imparts a lot of local information while having an exciting time with a knowledgeable and fun local. I have a rapport with every store and restaurant along Calle Ocho in Little Havana, and in South Beach, I know where the bodies are buried. Literally. I know where ghosts like to haunt and the best watering holes to hear the tales of Al Capone and the Cocaine Cowboys. On a more personal note, I moved to NYC when I was 24. While being there for 30 years, I got married, had two boys who are now men, I was the managing editor of a magazine, the executive director of a chamber of commerce, wrote a sitcom pilot for the FOX network, produced a documentary for PBS, published my own newsletter for the Cuban exile community, was featured in a book about successful Latinas, gave many keynote speeches and served on many business panels. I moved back ten years ago to take care of my aging mother and now on top of selling houses and taking tourists all over Miami, I teach yoga classes at LA Fitness, paint pop art that sells at exhibitions and love to cook exciting recipes from scratch. Interestingly enough, I'm the great granddaughter of Cuba's second president, Jose Miguel Gomez, and grandniece to the island nation's seventh president, Miguel Mariano Gomez, so the tours of Little Havana are extremely personal for me. I would LOVE to show you around my beautiful city! :) I was born into a family whose business was a travel agency. I am licensed and insured so I can drive guests around Miami. I used to give keynote speeches in New York City to large business groups. Real State Agent. None.

Explore Miami's Two Most Sought After Neighborhoods To Visit: Wynwood and Little Havana! Walk around the world renowned Art District of Miami for an entire hour at your leisure. The whole neighborhood is covered in amazing murals and is made up of funky restaurants and shops. Be ready to take a lot of photos because a more picturesque neighborhood is hard to find. Perhaps visit famous Wynwood Walls, an outdoor museum that's a menagerie of famous sculptures, murals, paintings and art studios ($12 tickets not included). Next we visit a little slice of the Caribbean by strolling through vibrant and musical Little Havana where we have a full Cuban lunch in a secret terrace hidden behind famous Domino Park. We can have the lunch before or after visiting the landmarks, monuments and cigar rollers, depending on the pick up time.
The itinerary is fluid, depending on the pick up time. Lunch in Little Havana will be included and it can be right after your leisure time in Wynwood or after walking the super interesting monument park, visiting the Cuban cigar rollers and the famous landmarks in this extremely vibrant and musical neighborhood.
