The tour put together by Kenneth covered the history and origins of Miami Beach along with a great variety of tastes and flavors. His tour focuses on the local, independent places that give Miami Beach its great vibe! I really enjoyed the food, the tour, and Keneth’s stories.

Operator was a no show

Danielle_B, Feb 2026

Booked same day in the am and tour guide did not show. We spent money for an Uber to get to meeting point and were sat at a table by a waiter and told he was running late. After waiting 45 mins and multiple attempts to reach him he finally called back and said he thought we booked 5:30 pm tour not 11:30. Still waiting for a refund and we lost a day of our trip as we could not book another activity during this time.

Walking/Foodi Tour Southbeach

Jane_S, Nov 2025

Kenneth was very knowledgeable about the history and good places to eat in the area along Lincoln Rd. We've been to Southbeach a few other times but never knew about this area. Enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend doing any tour with Kenneth, especially this walking tour.

Local history and food, around Lincoln Road area

Randy_M, Oct 2025

This tour focuses on Lincoln Road and the area around it. We so appreciated the historical information that was presented to us, as we really had no idea at all! Loved learning about the Art Deco influence here and seeing many examples of it on this tour. We learned so much about Miami and South Beach, fascinating. We went to various local spots, small places where only local people go, places we would never even notice, let alone go in! We sampled what the local people eat. Very informative, fun, good food, relaxed atmosphere. Kenneth was great, thank you, Kenneth!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

We are proud to only feature single location, independent establishments on our tour. So glad we could share these with you!

The perfect 2hr tour

Sherie_L, Sep 2025

My fiancé and I had some time before our flight back home and we wanted to explore some of Miami since we’ve never been. Needless to say this was our perfect tour for 2 hrs. Kenneth was an amazing guide with his wealth of knowledge of the history, architecture and culture of SB. We got to see some hidden gems along with some tasty bites that made this a memorable experience. Just remember your hat & sunblock!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thanks Sherie! We are proud to offer something for every taste on the tour.

Delicious, Educational, and Perfectly Curated

Outstanding Food Tour

brian_k, Jul 2025

This is a first class food tour, Kenneth did an outstanding tour talking about the history of old Miami Beach. The food stops he picked out were all locally owned and operated and very authentic and great quality. He really put thought into this tour by choosing unique and great tasting food. We’ve been on many food tours around the world, and this was one of the best because of the quality of the food and his passion for what he does!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you both for joining the tour. Miami Mosaic is all about going beyond clichés in order to show the real and sometimes hidden Miami.

Best Experience For The Area

Reece_L, May 2025

This is an amazing food tour that puts you behind the tourist traps to experience the real ethnic South Beach food! The guide is knowledgeable and will provide history of the things you see as we go. The value is perfect and I can’t recommend more!

Response from Host, May 2025

We are proud to avoid chain restaurants and instead support local independent entrepreneurs. Delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour!

Great tour with knowledgeable guide

Frances_G, May 2025

This was a terrific tour. We booked it only a few hours before the start, and our guide, Kenneth, was ready for us when we arrived. (Another couple joined us who had been planning to take a different tour, but their guide was a no-show.) Kenneth was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and its history. We tasted some great food, all from establishments with local roots. All in all, this was a great way to get to know South Beach and have a delicious meal at the same time.

Response from Host, May 2025

Delighted to hear that you enjoyed the meal and the culture. Hope that another trip to Miami is in your future!

Must do!

Mary_N, May 2025

The tour was so great! We got to see and learn things we’d have never found on our own. We had a great time and loved the food! All the restaurants are local small businesses. Kenneth was awesome! Highly recommend.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you so much, Mary! Thrilled that you had a great time and enjoyed the local flavors—supporting small businesses with curious and kind guests like you makes it all worthwhile.

We really enjoyed our experience. Kenneth, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable not only about the food but about Miami history. The food itself was also amazing.

Your friends and family were a lot of fun and I am glad to hear that you enjoyed!

Fantastic Miami tour.

Veronica_C, Mar 2025

Kenneth, our tour guide, was rich in knowledge in Miami's history. Food was flavourful and filling. Even pivoted quickly when one of the food stops closed unexpectedly.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you Veronica and Pat for the five stars! You two were five star guests.

Miami Mosaic Magic

MarySarah_H, Mar 2025

Kenneth's tour was truly a mosaic of south beach. We experienced the beauty of the area while sampling one of its greatest treasures- its food. Kennth's abundant knowledge of the history of Miami Beach left us with an understanding of its a unique origin story. He allowed us to enjoy the tour at a leisurely pace and was attentive to all of our needs. It was a full meal by the end. We loved it and highly would recommend taking his tour.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

You and your friends were a blast. Thank you for joining us!

Great Tour

A new way to experience Miami Beach

Martyn_H, Feb 2025

A wonderful way to explore the south beach area from a food perspective. We sampled foods and visited places we might have usually overlooked. Under Kenneth’s guidance and expert knowledge, we felt safe and to explore and taste new flavours. The tour also included his vast knowledge of Art Deco and how Miami Beach came to be - definitely recommend.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thanks for the feedback Martyn and Rachel! We are proud to showcase only single location locally owned restaurants and to keep things fun.

Highly Recommend

Michelle_S, Feb 2025

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you Michelle and Chris. Glad we got to explore 5 different local restaurants together!

Great food with a history lesson!

Randall_D, Jan 2025

An informative tour about the history, architecture and food in Miami Beach. Approximately 1.2 mile walk around the area where you can experience true Miami Beach! Our tour guide, Kenneth, shared many interesting facts and took us to a variety of local restaurants where we tasted dishes specific to the area. We would recommend this leisurely tour to all!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you Randy! I enjoyed sharing our community with you and Jill. Safe travels!

Highly recommend

Nancy_S, Jan 2025

A great guide (Kenneth) and fun tour with history of South Beach and food tastings. Highly recommend it.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

We are grateful for your endorsement. Hope to see you in South Florida in the future!

Not for me.

ALTANI_L, Nov 2025

I made the tour due to the positive reviews. However, since I live in another country, I found the experience very simple. Tasting was not my taste. Raw fish, spicy sandwich, milk-free ice cream with the taste of cheap picolé. After the tour we had to go to lunch at "The Cheesecake Factory", this is worth it (good, pretty and cheap). The guide was very friendly, familiar with the history of Miami and Art Deco, but we were not interested. For us, the cost-benefit ratio was not good.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Olá, Altani, muito obrigado pelo seu comentário e por participar do tour. Sinto muito que as degustações não tenham correspondido às suas preferências. Cada paladar é diferente, e recebemos convidados que viajam para experimentar algo novo e outros que preferem sabores mais familiares, ambos são totalmente válidos. Nosso objetivo com este passeio é apresentar restaurantes independentes e sabores que representam a história cultural de Miami especialmente influências latino-americanas e caribenhas em vez de oferecer uma experiência turística tradicional. Muitos dos pratos apresentados são preparados por chefs locais, pequenas empresas familiares e empreendedores da comunidade. Para muitos visitantes, essa é justamente a parte mais especial do tour. Também agradeço seu comentário sobre custo-benefício. Esse feedback nos ajuda a comunicar ainda mais claramente que o passeio é uma refeição progressiva composta por cinco paradas e que inclui sabores que podem, às vezes, sair da zona de conforto culinária habitual. Fico contente que você tenha encontrado um lugar que atendeu ao seu gosto após o passeio, e espero que Miami tenha deixado boas lembranças. Será um prazer recebê-los novamente no futuro, caso queiram explorar outras facetas da culinária local. Com apreço, Kenneth Thank you for your feedback. While this guest found some of the dishes unfamiliar, our tour is intentionally designed to highlight independent Miami-owned restaurants, cultural food traditions, and bold local flavors. Many travelers join specifically to experience something new and authentic rather than mainstream options. We appreciate all perspectives, as they help us continue communicating clearly what kind of culinary experience we offer. For travelers seeking familiar American menus or large chain restaurants, this tour may not be the ideal match and that’s okay. Miami has something for every style of traveler.
