    My wife and I went here just so she could hold a monkey. We ended up holding several very nice animals and falling in love with a special monkey named Romeo. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered all of our question on their very wide array of species. A very fun experience for both of us

    This artsy neighbourhood is known for its bold evocative art on building facades, walls and the like. Sometimes the messages on these hand painted murals are a little obtuse and even dark, but the skill and talent is undeniable. The art is found on several city blocks and is considered the highest concentration of street art anywhere in the world. Within this area is an outdoor museum Wynwood Walls that has many contemporary artists exhibited. There is also a Wynwood Walk that takes people on walking tours and explains what they are seeing. Nowadays, this area has become very trendy with many fashionable shops, galleries and eateries locating here.

    A different look at wild life. You are in the cage and the monkeys are on the outside. Highly recommend a visit.

    Don't be confused. It took me a little while to figure it out. The Charles Deering who established the Deering Estate was the brother of the James Deering who built Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. Two Miami landmarks, two millionaire brothers/industrialists/philanthropists. Charles Deering was the son of William Deering, founder of Deering Harvester Company. After graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy and serving as an officer in the Navy until 1881, he became secretary of his father's company, which merged with McCormick Harvesting Company and became International Harvester in 1902. He died at the age of 75 at his estate at Cutler. He lived on the 444-acre property for five years, from 1922 until his death in 1927. Located at 16701 Southwest 72nd Avenue in the Cutler neighborhood of Palmetto Bay, the estate, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, consists of a three-story wooden house built in 1900, known as the Richmond Cottage, and a three-story stone mansion. The grounds include what is thought to be the largest virgin coastal tropical hardwood hammock in the continental United States. The Richmond Cottage was built as a family home at the end of the 19th century, converted into a 22-room hotel in 1900, then purchased by Charles Deering in 1916 and used as his residence until his Mediterranean Stone House was completed in 1922. It has 18-inch poured concrete walls, oolitic limestone, coffered ceilings, copper clad and brass doors, an elevator and a wine cellar. Deering intended the house to be used as a showcase for his art collection and books. Two other must-see attractions on the property are the Cutler Burial Mound, one of the few surviving prehistoric mounds in Miami-Dade County, and the Cutler Fossil Site, a sinkhole that was discovered in 1979 that was found to contain bones of Pleistocene animals and bones and artifacts of early humans.

    Architect Jose Esteves guided our group of architects from Brazil with great dedication, showing us old and contemporary buildings in downtown Miami. All of his explanations were accompanied by the context of the projects, behind-the-scenes details, and lots of useful information. Even for those who are not in the field of architecture, the historical information is of great interest and will arouse curiosity in those who can enjoy the company of the very friendly Jose.

    We had Luis greet us and not only was he extremely welcoming, but hilarious too! It was a group of 7 of us and we went to celebrate my birthday. We did the final confinement room, but plan on going back again. Overall 10/10 experience

    Stopped here during a food tour of Little Havana. Mr. Galnza is an excellent and welcoming artist. He produces products in a range of styles and prices. It is great to have a combination artist studio and Tavern.

    THIS is a FUN TIME, in a cup or on the spacious dance floor, or both! They are the 31-flavors of Mojitos & Daquiris. From exotic tropical fruits (passionfruit, kiwi, mango) to the standards (strawberry, etc.) and all fruitas in between.
    This is a spot to come after your pretty dinner. Here, you come to let loose, sweat up a storm and have an amazing time!
    Come solo and you're just as welcomed as coming with large group. You're bound to leave becoming family...or a significant other before the night ends.
    Drinks are a tad on the expensive side for what they are, so come with deep pockets. Make sure to eat something heavy and greasy BEFORE you arrive so your stomach's coated accordingly.
    There are also lots of colorful artistic pieces to take fun flix with so come cute/handsome.
    The bathrooms need SERIOUS TLC, often, especially with this being a drinks-only establishment.

    So much great stuff to write here. Did the hour and a half semi-private tour - i come down here to Miami area every February with friends from Chicago and always book these kinds of tours since so unique. Used a different company last two years- always had a good time there -but Everglades Nature Tour was a better overall experience so glad I decided to try something new. Captain Ozzie grew up riding airboats as a kid in the area- so knows everything about the area and the wildlife- this tours is so great since its all about the nature and no gimmicks. We saw alligators, turtle, beautiful birds -the 90 mins went by way too fast- highly recommend and when Captain Ozzie yells out "Bobby, Bobby," you may feel inclined to yell back "Cindy. . ." but when he does- what happens next you must experience yourself so i won't ruin it.
