Overview of your Miami tour

Visit the original "Little Havana", settled by 40, 000 Cubans fleeing the Cuban Missile Crisis. Isolated, they kept their Cuban identity by their cigars, food, flowers, signature drinks, and music. There will be time for lunch, and I can help if you are looking for a menu type or cultural experience. There is a second "Little Havana", not isolated at all, but indeed a full tourist destination of Cuban shops and cafes. See how "Little Haiti" has emerged as "Wynwood Walls". Graffiti has given way to full-color murals, which has attracted an entire trendy community of art galleries, beer gardens, and dance clubs. Explore the famous Art Deco District. The 1920s architecture has been preserved, and the shops, bars and cafes attract celebrities, sports stars, and tourists, alike. You'll also learn why Little Havana and the Art Deco District face an uncertain future.

Our tour guide Steve was exceptional. He was very responsive to my messages, flexible with what we wanted to see, prompt, knowledgeable about the area and funny. His car is clean and comfortable and he maneuvered through the Miami traffic like a pro. One of the best things about Steve’s tour was that he stopped a few times to give us a what he calls his “port talks”, complete with 8x10 photos. That way we were informed ahead of time about the history and culture of each neighborhood we were about to visit, which made it much more interesting when we saw what he had just told us about. We will use Steve as a guide again the next time we are in South Florida. Highly recommended!

Our tour with Stephen was great. He is friendly, efficient and very knowledgeable about Miami, its surrounding areas and the cruise line business. Our group had just disembarked from a 16 night cruise from Mexico to Miami (via Panama Canal transit) and we appreciated all his insights in “cruising” again. Thank you, Stephen!

We spent the day with Steven touring Miami and Fort Lauderdale. He is a great guy and knows the history and geography of this area well. He made it all very interesting and had pictures to help us visualize the past and the information. It was an enjoyable and informative day which was easy to arrange and customize with him. The time went by very quickly as we were picked up from our cruise ship in the morning and didn't have a flight until evening. Lots to see!

This was my second tour with Steven on my trip. Steven provided another great tour, with many historical tidbits, along with some old photos, you don’t usually find in the tour books. He is a wealth of knowledge, sharing it in an easy to follow way. He clearly enjoys sharing the local history with his guests. Good communication, nice vehicle; thanks, Steven!

Steven was wonderful. He was prompt knowledgeable and my group had a wonderful experience touring the best sites of Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

It’s clear that Steve doesn’t require a rating from me as he was so totally on top of his role that many, many others have previously rated him as exceptional. He knew so much; kept everything flowing, had printed sheets that addressed every subject - he was just a totally top guide and a thoroughly good guy.

Your Miami tour itinerary

We'll drive through the "original" Little Havana, where the Cubans were able to thrive in their isolation. Today, the "new" Little Havana welcomes tourists! Enjoy either a hosted walking tour or unhosted "free tIme" along "Calle Ocho" (their main street), with a stop at Domino Park, and the infamous "Ball & Chain", once a speakeasy. Watch the locals make cigars, and perhaps try a "Mojito" (rum drink). A short drive reveals more about the Cuban culture here. We will pass the Freedom Tower and then visit the amazing outdoor art of "Wynwood Walls". Once a poor area, it now attracts tourists to see trendy art galleries and shops. Next, we will cross Biscayne Bay to Miami Beach, home of the Art Deco District. We will tour the amazing architecture of Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue. Hear the story of Gianni Versace, Gloria Estefan's Conga Party, and see famous properties like "Mangos", the "Palace Bar" and "Miami Ink".
