This was a great experience! We had delicious food and our tour guide, Sol, was amazing! It was obvious how much she enjoyed what she did and she is very knowledgeable about Miami Beach and its history. I recommend doing this early on in your trip so you can come back to enjoy the areas we saw on our tour.

Our guide, Sol, was excellent. She smoothly combined her personal knowledge and experience of the South Beach area with local historical and cultural facts. The food stops were well-chosen for diversity, and the dish samples were delicious. We very much enjoyed our first tastes of Venezuelan food, as well as our introduction to the Time Out Market (which we returned to twice). Highly recommended.

Our guide Elijah was great. I was in Miami for a few days and thought this would be a great way to try out different foods and learn some history of the city. The guide was funny, engaging and knew a lot of interesting information and the food was awesome.

This was an amazing experience, even as a Miami native there was so much to gain from the tour. Gary Francis was the tour guide and he is definitely 5 star material, solid 10/10. At each of the sites, Gary was able to order diverse options from the menu and he was very knowledgeable in the architecture, history, and hot spots in Miami. Gary made the people on the tour feel comfortable with each other, asking questions, giving us pop quizzes, and spreading his contagious laughter. Overall, the food was phenomenal & filling (definitely going back to a few spots), meeting people from out of the country was great (one guy bought the whole group drinks at a discounted price...just cuz), the view and weather was beautiful, and Gary Francis was the REAL DEAL. I highly recommend choosing him as your guide & highly recommend coming to the Miami Food Tour with friends, family, and even kids. It’s appropriate for all.

Great food, wonderful overview of the historical and cultural context that influences the food in South Beach. My favorite part was the way Gary Francis connected with all of the participants and encouraged us to get to know one another. We learned a lot about our own food experiences and places we have traveled. I also really appreciated the way he honored the stories of the owners of the restaurant. Do not miss this!

Worth every single penny!!! We had Sol (tour guide) all to ourselves and she did a fantastic job at explaining the city’s history and cuisine we were indulging. For 4 stops and a 3 hr tour, you really can’t beat this price. Highly recommend if you’re a foodie, AMAZING tasting!

Gary makes you feel as if you all have been friends for years. This was my first food tour and I am so glad it was with someone as experienced as him. He was accommodating and historically versed on the city of Miami. Can’t wait until my next one!

Richie was a wonderful host full of knowledge, facts, trivia, and just good ol' conversation. He did an excellent job of keeping everyone engaged and entertained, and he had plenty to talk about with everyone from the young college students to the upper middle-aged folks.
There was just enough food at the five stops on our tour to give everyone a good sample. And depending on your group, there were some guests who filled up early leaving plenty for those with a more hearty appetite. The selection of restaurant stops was a very good mix of flavors and cuisines that were very representative of the collage of cultures found in South Beach.
It was a walking tour that had enough time between stops to let the food settle and be ready for the next taste adventure. As we walked, Richie provided highlights of the local architecture and history of South Beach. He was full of information but also did a wonderful job of engaging all his guests in the conversation. Truly a great experience!

Of all the tours we've been on in cities across the country, Richie made our tasting tour the BEST. He was full of information about Miami, from stars, shows, architecture, trivia, and more. He had us laughing and sharing stories the entire time as we sampled delicious cuisines from Central and South America. Well worth the price.

It was more enjoyable than anticipated. Richie was very entertaining but also had the skill of engaging us with one another so that we became a group that enjoyed sharing the experience together. The food experience made it well worth it, but learning about Miami Beach and the culture from Richie made it worth twice the price!

Can vegetarians attend this tour?
ShamiLoui

Yes. They have some vegetarian options. The food portions are small & are meant to be shared with the whole group that’s touring with you. So keep that in mind, cause you’re not getting your own individual portions.
Could a vegan attend this trip?

I don’t recall vegan options, but maybe if you tell them ahead of time they could cater to that. The portions of food are also small and meant to be share with the whole group, so keep that in mind cause you don’t get your own individual portion.

There are two of us. We are tourists and the only day we have to do this tour is February 18, when we are in South Beach. I can't seem to make a reservation. Do you not have a tour on this day? I hope you do.

I’m sure the guide could accommodate you if you let them know in advance. There were full menus at each of the restaurants with veggie options. We really enjoyed the tour - the food was excellent and we learned a lot about the history and architecture of Miami.
The duration of the tour says 3 hours, but each stop says 2-3 hours so exactly how long is the tour?
