Faruk was very friendly and provided some interesting information about the city. The food was very tasty as well, especially the coffee and ice cream. I would recommend this to new visitors and would suggest doing it early in your visit to get a nice lay of the area.

The guide was very...

david_t, Jun 2026
The guide was very informative about the history of the area, and we enjoyed his conversation very much. The food choices, however, were too heavy with sandwiches at back to back stops. Perhaps small plate samples of local cuisine would have been more enjoyable, and could have contributed more to the history and culture of the neighborhood.

Nice tour!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

This review is not written on the correct listing. We dont operate lunch tours in South Beach. It might have been another company you have done a tour with. If you could please remove it and post it on the correct company. Thank you

Slightly disappointing

Steven_H, Feb 2025
The food choice was disappointing as I expected Cuban (which I had) but not Mexican. Narrative a a little sparse too

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Hi Steven, I’m not sure where you wanted to put this review, but it’s not in the correct place. We do not have any Mexican food on any of our tours. Take care.

Andrzej_P, Jan 2025
Great tour guy. Very knowledgeable, easy to talk to. Had a fantastic time. Highly recommended. We would never be able to see or experience the food and the places the same way by ourselves.

Tour did not go ahead

Georgette_A, Nov 2024
I arrived at the meeting point ten minutes early. I booked the tou that morning. Unfortunately after waiting almost 30 minutes, with no guide showing up, we were information that the tour was not going ahead as the guide had not received notification of our same day bookings. Refund received

So fun!

Bryan_B, Jul 2024
Had a great time on Faruk's tour. He's incredibly knowledgeable, tells great stories, and the food was excellent. He even made sure there were vegetarian options available for me at each restaurant. We had so much fun, would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

A private food and art deco tour of Miami Beach by a great conversationalist

Diana_U, Jun 2024
Our tour guide, Farouk, was so amazing! My sister and I were the only ones on the tour so we had a private tour in essence. We had a wonderful conversation and Farouk was so knowledgeable about the history and knew the shop keeper/restaurant owner. He was stopped couple of times by people he knew so you could tell he was a local who lived there. We really enjoyed our time and would highly recommend! Thank you for a great time!!

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

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
Highly recommend this tour. Empanadas were our favorite. The history we learned and food we sampled was great. Suitable for any age.

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. ...

Susan_N, Dec 2023

Relaxing family evening.

Stephanie_P, Dec 2023
Faruk was very knowledgeable, kind and patient so that I could take all of the photos I wanted. He showed us places we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Very enjoyable and the food was local and amazing.

Delicious Culture

Jeffrey_B, Aug 2023
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.

Best food and tour!

MarieYoung, Jul 2023
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

Thank you for your amazing feedback! Jennifer is an exceptional guide, providing fun, knowledge, and great taste. Thank you for choosing our tour and we hope to serve you again soon for another unforgettable adventure with Jennifer or any of our outstanding guides!

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.
