Miami City Tours & Art Deco Walks

South Beach's Art Deco district, Little Havana, Wynwood's murals and Coconut Grove — Miami on foot, by bike or by bus.

How to choose a city tour in Miami

Three neighbourhoods in one tour

Miami is spread out, so most visitors see it on a "3-in-1" tour: South Beach with its Art Deco hotels and Ocean Drive, the murals of Wynwood and Calle Ocho in Little Havana, by minibus or open-top bus in three to four hours. It is the cheapest way to get your bearings on the first day, with short stops for photos and a Cuban coffee.

To see one area properly, choose a tour that sticks to it: a walking tour of the Art Deco district with an architecture guide, a golf cart, buggy or Segway ride through Wynwood's street art, or a food and culture walk in Little Havana.

On foot, by golf cart or by bus

Walking tours are the most detailed and usually last two to two and a half hours; the award-winning Art Deco tours add the neon of Ocean Drive at dusk. Golf carts and buggies cover Wynwood's blocks in an hour without the heat, and are a good choice with children or anyone who doesn't want to walk far. Open-top buses show more of the city — Brickell, Downtown, Coconut Grove — in one go.

There are also tours of film and TV locations, a self-guided e-bike tour of Coral Gables and private tours with a driver-guide who adapts the route to you.

Tips for the day

Start early or late: Miami is hot and humid for most of the year, and midday is the hardest time to walk. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water and sunscreen. Evening tours of Wynwood and South Beach show the neon and the murals lit up.

Check the meeting point — tours start in Miami Beach, Wynwood or Downtown, and only some include hotel pickup. The list is ranked by reviews, so the most consistently good tours come first.
