Full description
South Beach Miami has been at the epicenter of cultural movements, from the Art Deco homes, to it gourmet (and healthy) cuisine. Enjoy a 3-hour walking tour of the fascinating city, exploring it through its food heritage. You will begin by looking at the architectural wonders. The Art Deco stylings inspired a generation of designers, including Versace, who owned a mansion here until his untimely death. Others who have shaped the area's history include Al Capone, Don Johnson, and the one and only Gloria Estefan! Each has brought a unique twist to the South Beach style, and left a mark that has changed the culture forever. Your guide will explain the history behind the city, stopping off for some drinks and food along Ocean Drive and Espanola Way. Check out the hottest Cuban, artisanal Peruvian, Italian and Jewish comfort foods. Each tasting is an homage to the cultural diversity of this city. In total, you'll stop at 5-8 restaurants or food stands, strolling along a 1 mile (1.6km) stretch.

Our guide Christina was fantastic! She made everyone feel comfortable and was well versed in the history of the area as well as the foods we ate. Getting to experience different foods (Peruvian, Cuban, Mexican, & Italian) was exactly what we wanted. It was a hot humid day, but Christina didn’t have us standing in the heat. She had us moving from one air conditioned restaurant to the next with restrooms available at 3 out of 4 places.

Our tour guide was super personable and chatty. In addition to the varied food and drinks we tried from different cultures, we also got a good amount of local history info, which was great. I got to see parts of South Beach I hadn't explored yet. The gelato at the end was perfect!

Our guide Ria was amazing! She brought us to several different restaurants, each with unique foods that were so yummy. Her knowledge of Miami culture and Art Deco history made this tour feel so unique. My husband and I loved every bit of it! Tip: Book this tour early in your trip because Ria will give you a list of amazing restaurants/places to visit while in South Beach. Thanks Ria for making this such a fun experience!
