Top Miami Walking Tours - page 4

Fun! Different experience and view from the air was amazing! The pilot was very familiar with the area and able to answer lots of questions. The sunset in the air was AMAZING!! Christian got the plane off the ground ao smoothly - it was fantasy! Landing was unbelievably smooth too!! Way different than commercial flying experiences!

This was a great tour that gave insights into art deco and how it influenced, and was influenced by social trends. Barbara gave a great tour and was very knowledgeable about the architecture, but also grew up in Miami Beach and could talk about the evolution to the area from a personal perspective. We loved being able to go inside some of the hotels! Highly recommended!

There’s a 45 minute boat ride there and back to a beautiful spot to kayak through the mangroves. Make sure to bring shoes that can get wet for a change of shoes. I used beach shoes. They have frosty water, so don’t worry about bringing some. It’s rather a small boat and during our trip it was a little crowded but fine. I met a really interesting woman who was a filmmaker, very friendly gathering and very great hosts.

My wife and I recently took part in the Menace, Murder & Malice: Miami Ghost Tours by Miami Haunts. While our particular tour experience didn’t meet expectations, I want to highlight how professional and responsive the company was in addressing our concerns. Miami Haunts demonstrated integrity and genuine commitment to customer satisfaction, offering clear communication. That level of accountability speaks volumes about a company that truly stands behind its product. Despite the issues we encountered with our guide, the overall ambiance of the tour was captivating. The walk through the heart of South Beach at night offered a unique perspective of the city’s art deco architecture, glowing lights, and historic charm. The route itself was enjoyable, taking us past iconic landmarks like the Versace Mansion and The Betsy Hotel, and giving us the chance to explore parts of the neighborhood we might have otherwise missed. The concept behind the tour is outstanding, blending Miami’s rich history with its mysterious legends and local folklore. Even with the setbacks during our evening, the potential of this experience is evident, and I believe most guests will find it both entertaining and informative when led by the right guide. In the end, while our personal experience wasn’t ideal, Miami Haunts’ swift and professional response left a very positive impression. They treated us with courtesy, listened to our feedback, and resolved the issue quickly. For that reason, I can still recommend this company to others who want to experience the haunted side of Miami, knowing they are in the hands of a team that values customer satisfaction and stands behind their tours.

Absolutely loved this walking cocktail tour! Janinha was warm, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable—she seemed to know every local we passed, and they all lit up seeing her. Her personal stories from living in the area made the Art Deco sights even more special. The 3 cocktails were delicious and perfectly spaced throughout the tour. It felt like exploring Miami Beach with an old friend. Highly recommend!

Great guide-Jeronimo - a visual artist who shared so much about Wynwood visual art, as well as showing us incredible art and introducing us to a few working artists! This tour was absolutely worth it. We will probably do this tour again - we picked well! 9 year old, someone in their twenties and an older adult - and we all really loved this tour!

Got to see a number of mansions and a few yachts as promised. We took the 8pm tour. Got to see the Miami lights at night, which was very beautiful, but hard to fully see some of the famous mansions because of the dark. I personally liked the lights over missing some of the mansions. It was also a bit cooler, compared to a day tour since we weren’t sitting in full sun the whole time. There is a shaded place to sit on the boat though. We sat on the bow and that offered a very nice view of everything. Fun atmosphere, as well. As we passed a famous singer’s mansion, they’d play a song from that person and you could sing along. We had a good time.

A great introduction to the Art Deco style of South Beach. Tour guide Damian is superb. He is an artist himself and a member of the local preservation society. You will leave better understanding the significance of the design elements of the art deco style. Damian also is very knowledgeable about culture and history. He also prepares a pocket sized map guide to key attractions in the area. It was very hot when we did the tour but the guide was considerate to bring us indoors and also provide cold water. I left with a greater appreciation for preservation.
