Program details

Miami is a real melting point of Latino, Afro-American and European Cultures and this fun and engaging walking tour is an ideal way to get to know the architecture, history and food culture of Miami Beach. We’ll tour some of the best restaurants in the area, ranging from five star to mama’s back kitchen while your friendly guide gives you the low-down on the fascinating history and unique architecture of the Art Deco district.

The tour is structured as a multi-course meal where each course takes place at a different restaurant. Try Colombian empanadas washed down with a cool beer at a local Latino gem. Savour Lobster Bisque and one of the best French restaurants in the neighbourhood. Feast on Peruvian ceviche and Pisco Sour before visiting a Jewish delicatessen, a Cuban sandwich bar and a family-run Argentinian bakery for some delicious local specialities. The tour will end with some award-winning gelato, Italian style.

Between the stops you’ll learn all about the fascinating history of the area’s iconic Art Deco district with its colourful buildings painted in delicate shades of pastel. You’ll learn of the efforts made to preserve the iconic style of the neighbourhood and how it has become home to a vibrant multi-cultural community. A great way to experience the beating heart of South Beach as you stimulate your taste buds.
