A great walking tour with excellent food sampling. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Miami and South Beach and had some great stories. He explained the origins of the food, several of which were originally from foreign locales, but were modified by local Miami influences. I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Excellent! Not to be missed!

Razia_Z, Mar 2024

Fabulous tour. Our tour guide was great - so knowledgeable. The food was really good and way more than I could eat, which is unusual for food tours, usually it's just little bites. The information about the art deco buildings made it historical and very interesting. Great combination! I highly recommend it.

Great time!

DaveWave, Mar 2024

Had a great time with our guide, Farouk. He was knowledgeable and informative and we had wonderful dishes in places I would have thought to try.

Good Food- ok Tour

Gina_M, Feb 2024

The food was good. The tour was just ok. I would maybe try something different before I would recommend to others.

Was a fun and relaxing...

Roxanne_M, Feb 2024

Was a fun and relaxing way to try some spots you may not have otherwise picked and all food was freshly made upon arrival - all delicious!

Perfect introduction to South beach

Zachary_W, Feb 2024

Perfect tour of Art Deco District

Yuneh_P, Jan 2024

Loved the history of Miami and Miami Beach. Our guide knew the areas very well and had many back stories to add. The food was delicious!

Very Nice!

Kevin_N, Jan 2024

The food was delicious. I've never had Cuban food and it was really great tasting. The smells were intoxicating. I loved the pastry and the sandwiches we tasted. My favorites was the sandwich at our first stop made with some type of pork. Then of course the last stop at the ice cream shop! The burst of the balls were amazing! Our tour guide Faruk was a wealth on knowledge and humor. He kept things moving at a great pace and allowed us to take pictures but he took the best photo of me holding up the tunnel between the two hotels! Great photo op!! He knew the city very well and shared the history splendidly!!

Yes! Worthwhile experience!

Priya_A, Dec 2023

A really Great way to experience South Miami with our adult kids!! The Architecture & food tour with Farouk was very fun. He gave us a wonderful glimpse of the architectural history of South beach Miami, taking us through several unique hotels, happening areas, and local food joints. He hooked us up with great Vegetarian options, including empanadas, rice/ beans & plantains, baguette sandwiches & awesome Cuban coffee & pastry and topped it off with the freshest made ice cream! Overall, a fun evening spent with family & our guide!!

Great fun with Fouruk. ...

Farouk was awesome!! He provided us with so much information. He is friendly and made the tour so fun. Great tour!!!

Informative and interesting

Jane_K, Jun 2023

Informative guide, loved learning about the history of Miami, the art deco architecture, the history of a few iconic structures, and sampling foods of the area.. One thing I might suggest is when stopping for extended times for talking to have some options for sitting.

Tour Guide Jennifer in South Beach is the best!

Bethany_B, May 2023

Jennifer at South Beach is such a fantastic human! She’s so fun and knowledgeable and has great taste. We learned historical facts about the history of Miami through the entire 1900’s, the architecture and the food. 10/10 would definitely do this again and always with Jennifer!

Response from Host, May 2023

I would reschedule if possible.

Michelle_R, Apr 2023

Unfortunately, this event was canceled due to the excessive rain earlier in the week that caused others to not arrive and having to cancel.

Response from Host, May 2023

Hi Michelle, It was one of the biggest rain storms in the last couple of decades. Unfortunately, dozens of clients this week didn't make it to South Florida. We hope for better weather next time you are in town, so you can enjoy the tour and have a 5 star experience.

Truly enjoyable.

My siblings and I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my parents. My parents had an absolutely spectacular time. Faruk made them laugh, gave them an excellent history lesson and even helped them find some delicious snacks to enjoy at their hotel post-tour. Terrific experience for them - big shout out to Faruk for being so accommodating and showing my parents the very best time.

Miami Beach tour

Debbie_T, Feb 2023

Guide was informative but I didn’t feel like he made a connection with the group. Would have been helpful to know a bit about the others in our group. He also didn’t introduce himself which I would have expected.
