The 10 Best Literary, Art & Music Tours in Miami, Florida (FL)

December 5, 2021 Vergie Nakamoto

Miami is hot hot hot! And it’s not just the sultry weather. Here, the nightlife is scorching, thanks to a strong Latin influence and spicy salsa culture. Dance the noche away in a nightclub, or indulge in a fancy meal at one of the city’s celebrity-owned restaurants. By day, hit the beach of course, or have yourself a walkabout, taking in Miami’s colorful art deco architecture. Grab a Cuban sandwich in Little Havana, then ride the vintage carousel at Virginia Key Beach Park.

John’s forte is the Everglades (wow, what an amazing day!), but we added an excursion to the Keys, thinking “we’re here, when else will we get to go?” and it was great fun, too. It’s quite a ways to go and back without staying over, but John paced the long day just right and mixed in nature, history and even a fine lunch. He knows where to find the tiny Key deer which roam the lawns of hidden neighborhoods as well as which back streets to meander for the quaintest houses. The cemetery is not to be missed. Totally recommended!

It was a great experience altogether. I appreciate the love that Susana Baker expresses about Little Havana and its history. The most beautiful was to visit Cubaocho and meet the owner and art collector who save a lot of artworks risking his life and brought them to Miami from Cuba - Roberto Ramos. I love this tour because it's full of information about history and people and culture

There was laughter, awe, excitement, and tears on this tour. Lance gave us an amazing tour experience throughout Wynwood filled with insight into Miami, Wynwood, and street art more generally. Some additional pros beyond the art were the length of the tour, only one hour, and the golf carts. Miami is extremely warm and humid and many tours can be miserable if you're out walking in the sun. I cannot recommend this tour enough, even if you have not been interested in street art in the past.

Was visiting my newly found sister, who happens to work for Gatorpark. Her name is Susan Greenburg. She set up a wonderful sunset airboat ride into the Everglades. Our driver Kennasaw was a seasoned veteran at the controls. My grandchildren loved the ride, made memories to last a lifetime. Stopped at an old house in the Park which was used by President Eisenhower. This Park is well worth the trip if in the Miami area.
