Discover Miami’s Best-Kept Secrets

Discover Miami's hidden gems on a private, customizable tour that takes you off the beaten path.

Choose your preferred stops, with Wynwood and manatees the most popular stops. The tour includes 2-3 stops and offers convenient pick-up times at 9:30 am or 2:00 pm from Miami Beach and Miami hotels.

Wynwood, Design District and Little Haiti

Once an industrial Puerto Rican neighborhood, where Boricuas worked in garment factories, Wynwood has transformed into one of Miami's trendiest areas. Over a decade ago, Miami Native was the first to introduce visitors to this vibrant district.

For an enhanced experience, I offer a specialized Wynwood guide for an additional fee who truly knows the area inside out. Wynwood is bordered by several unique neighborhoods and attractions:

The Ultra-Chic Design District
The Historic Buena Vista Neighborhood
My Alma Mater, Curley High School
Little Haiti
Morningside’s Historic Homes (if time permits)
The De la Cruz Collection – one of my personal favorite stops

While Wynwood Walls may have lost some of its charm due to pre-registration and fees, the back streets are more exciting than ever.

Recommended Tour Time: 45-90 minutes

Get In Touch

Downtown and Brickell, Where The Ancient Meets Modern

In Downtown and Brickell, visitors can explore the Miami Circle, a 3,000-year-old archaeological site, surrounded by sleek, modern skyscrapers. This unique blend of history and modernity is further enhanced by a striking tribute to Native Americans designed by Philippe Starck.

Miami, originally a village of 3,000-5,000 people when the first Spaniard arrived in 1549, now boasts the third-largest skyline in the United States.

Recommended Tour Time: 20 minutes (due to traffic concerns)

South Beach: The Art Deco Capital

South Beach holds the world’s largest concentration of Art Deco architecture. Once a quiet, aging neighborhood, it was transformed by preservation efforts, followed by the filming of Miami Vice, and the arrival of hipsters and partygoers.

A tour through South Beach often ends at South Pointe Park just before sunset, offering a spectacular atmosphere that captures the essence of Miami.

Key Sites Include:

Lincoln Road
1111 Building
Española Way
Ocean Drive
Versace Mansion
New World Symphony Park
Star Island Mansions
Millionaire’s Row (for Mid-Beach guests, with extra time for South Beach)

Recommended Tour Time: 30-90 minutes

Little Havana/Calle Ocho:

Best Experienced at Night

Little Havana has not been Cuban for decades. Pictured is a former synagogue when the area was Jewish, then Cubans came in the 60’s and put a cross over the Jewish star, followed by the current evangelical Central Americans that renamed it to Iglesia Bautista Renascer.

I previously avoided this touristy spot because of the tour buses and cars flying by at 40 MPH, plus the fact that I don’t want any commission from the cigar stores. But the stop has gotten better, with some great sandwiches and Cuban coffee.

To do this area right, Miami High, Shenandoah, Grove Park and Riverside should be included.

Recommended time: 30-60 minutes If you include Shenandoah and Grove Park
