Everyone knows Miami's great for lazy days on the  beach ,  museum hopping  and sample incredible Cuban food in Little Havana , but that's not everything the Magic City has to offer. We've rounded up the best tours in Miami to help you discover its lesser-known treasures, from the Design District and Art Deco architecture to the graffiti murals of Wynwood and a view of South Beach from above (find out more about this below...). 

Miami tours aren’t just for tourists anymore; these guided ventures give you a glimpse of the city that you wouldn't have expected.

Been there, done that? Think again, my friend.

Best Miami tours

1.  big bus miami hop-on hop-off tour.

Big Bus Miami Hop-On Hop-Off Tour

What is it? What’s a sightseeing tour throughout Miami without a little traffic? Not an authentic one, that's for sure. If you're bound to get stuck beyond the wheel, it’s best you leave the driving to someone else so that you can spend the afternoon gawking out the window, taking in the city’s fabulous architecture and those stunning ocean views.

Why go? Each bus has its own tour guide to point out and explain the sites. Another perk of riding the Big Bus? You'll never have to deal yet another Miami transportation struggle: parking.

2.  Little Havana Food and Walking Tour

Little Havana Food and Walking Tour

What is it? If you’re the type who researches a city’s food scene before booking travel, this culinary tour will keep you from spending precious hours Googling away. Set off on a gut-busting journey through Little Havana, sampling the Cuban neighborhood’s authentic delights—from ice cream and cafecito to those irresistible croquetas.

Why go? Between stops, you’ll learn about the people, the culture and, of course, the food that make this place so special.  

3.  Miami Beach Food and Art Deco Walking Tour

Miami Beach Food and Art Deco Walking Tour

What is it? More than showing you where The Birdcage was filmed, Art Deco walking tours are a fun, interactive way to learn all about South Beach’s historic architecture—without ever needing to refer to your guidebook.

Why go? You’ll learn to distinguish Mediterranean Revival from Miami Modern and be able to tell all your friends back home you were inside an actual Art Deco structure. Bonus: the three-hour tour includes five stops to snack and rest your feet. 

4.  Miami Duck Tour

Miami Duck Tour

What is it? Few tours will take a Pitbull dance break at a red light, but Duck Tours is unlike any other tour you’ll take in Miami. You’ll ride an amphibious truck, meaning it can travel on land and on water, through the streets of Miami Beach and downtown Miami, past Bayside Marketplace and into Biscayne Bay for a truly 360-degree view of the city.

Why go? Guides are informative but also really fun, so expect to hear the “#SELFIE” song when your peers start wielding their selfie sticks.

5.  Day Trip to The Bahamas

Day Trip to The Bahamas

What is it? Okay, maybe this doesn't count as a tour in  Miami, but if anything deserves to be an expection to the rule, it's something that involves a trip to the Bahamas. Head out from Miami Beach on a high-speed ferry to the Island of Bimini. 

Why go? You'll get six hours of free time to enjoy the white sand beaches and clear water, with the option to take on various water sports from jet skiing to parasailing and shipwreck snorkeling. Miami excursions to the Bahamas don't come cheap, but these are relatively reasonable. 

6.  Design District Public Art and Food Tour

Design District Public Art and Food Tour

What is it? On this two-and-a-half-hour tour, you’ll sample global cuisine from a chef-driven food hall — including a unique fusion of Japanese and Peruvian—all while checking out the stunning art and architecture. You'll also get to indulge in Chef Andrew G.'s famous cookie creations. 

Why go? The bougie neighborhood gets a bad rap for being nothing more than a place to shop and for being expensive. While the latter might be true, there’s plenty to see and do in the MDD that has nothing to do with retail. 

7.  Wynwood Graffiti Experience

Wynwood Graffiti Experience

What is it? No matter what the countless murals in Wynwood might lead you to believe, spray painting a vacant wall is still very much illegal. Fortunately, this workshop and tour gives you free rein without the risk of defacing public property.

Why go? Led by a real-life street artist, the class takes place at an artist's studio (address is provided upon booking). Students are handed a can of paint, a mask (safety first!) and shown how to write, blend colors, and illustrate using different spray tips. 

8.  Florida Everglades Hike, Kayak and Airboat Tour

Florida Everglades Hike, Kayak and Airboat Tour

What is it? Those willing to brave the elements for an up-close glimpse of South Florida’s most impressive landscape should opt for an amphibian experience. Start with a one-hour airboat tour, which whisks you through thousands of tiny islands and past native wildlife.

Why go? You’ll see crocodiles and alligators (the Everglades is among the few places in the world where the two species cohabitate), as well as all sorts of other wildlife, many of which are endangered. A dry hike led by a naturalist and lunch are included in this unique adventure.

9.  Wynwood Graffiti Golf Cart Tour

Wynwood Graffiti Golf Cart Tour

What is it? Cover more ground while exploring Wynwood’s myriad murals on a graffiti buggy tour. You’ll hop on the golf cart for a one-hour ride through the colorful arts district, learning about the popular street art and the artists who created it.

Why go?  Do you suffer from FOMO? No worries! This fast-paced route brings you past more than 50 of the area’s galleries and murals. 

10.  Full Moon Kayak Tour

Full Moon Kayak Tour

What is it?  Glide your way through the arched mangrove canopy and bask under the light of the moon and stars on this monthly tour at scenic Oleta River State Park.

Why go?  Guides will lead you through the peaceful intercoastal waterway to the park’s hidden treasure: Sandspur Island. The tour ends back at the beach cove for s’mores and refreshments around the campfire. 

11.  Miami Segway Tour

Miami Segway Tour

What is it? Don’t let achy feet come between your plans to explore Miami Beach. Instead of trudging down Ocean Drive, complaining, hop on a Segway and glide past South Beach’s beautiful Art Deco buildings and woosh down Lincoln Road (you didn’t have the cash to shop anyway).

Why go? The guided tour lasts two to three hours and includes the neighborhood’s most popular landmarks. 

12.  The Grand Miami Air Tour

The Grand Miami Air Tour

What is it? Pressed for time? This is how you see Miami’s essential sights in under an hour. Your pilot will not only steer you clear of danger but also give you the lowdown on what you’re seeing below.

Why go? Fly over South Beach, through Downtown and across Biscayne Bay as you soak in the city’s beautiful skyline and indelible Art Deco architecture. 

13.  Coral Gables Bike Tour

Coral Gables Bike Tour

What is it? The fastest way to learn why Coral Gables was nicknamed the City Beautiful is on one of its family-friendly bike tours, presented by the Coral Gables Museum and Bike Walk Coral Gables.

Why go? You’ll ride down tree-lined boulevards, around historic fountains and past picturesque homes built in the grand Mediterranean Revival architectural style. The route changes monthly to include different neighborhoods and bike rentals are available. $12

14.  Miami Brew Bus

Miami Brew Bus

What is it? This tour combines some of our favorite weekend activities into one: day drinking, sampling craft beers and letting others drive us around. If you’re interested in learning about Miami’s burgeoning local breweries, or just like drinking really good beer, grab a seat on the Brew Bus immediately.

Why go? You’ll be whisked away to several South Florida breweries on an air-conditioned minibus, given a tour of each facility and handed a complimentary beer of your choice at every location. Cheers to that.  $97

15.  MiMO (Miami Modern) Tour

MiMO (Miami Modern) Tour

What is it? This two-hour walking tour spotlights the neighborhood’s unique traits and its MiMo influences across public and private structures. This Miami Design League tour is offered for private groups only, so convince your friends.

Why go?  Most of us know MiMo from the pastel-hued motels along Biscayne Bay, the historic Vagabond Hotel or the arresting Coppertone girl sign. But few realize that this iconic Miami Modern architecture also has a place on the North Shore of Miami Beach. $TBD

16.  Stiltsville Boat Tour

Stiltsville Boat Tour

What is it? Get a rare up-close view of Stiltsville, a curious Miami landmark of colorful, crumbling buildings originally built in the 1920s and '30s in the shallows on the northern end of Biscayne National Park.

Why go? Available as part of a daily two-hour Biscayne Bay sightseeing tour or customizable as a private tour, you'll want to book your time with Captain Matt, about whom National Geographic said: “A guided excursion could take you to the most spectacular place on Earth, but it is the operator who really makes the memory.” 

Tired from all the sightseeing? Find a place to kick back.

Why Take a Guided Bus Tour in Miami?

Great question! Did you know, Miami often ranks first for being the most difficult city to drive in United States? Miamians have a reputation for being aggressive drivers . Nobody wants the stress of driving in a strange place and not know where to go. So it makes sense, the best way to explore a place like here is on a luxury tour bus, with fun people like yourself. The bus driver will navigate traffic for you, while you sit high above the ground enjoying a good view of the surroundings.

And while it’s true, anyone can Uber from place to place, you'll miss a lot. Most of those drivers in Miami don't speak English. They also don't know how to find the best photo spots that a professional guide can show you.

But if you do take a bus tour around Miami, try to do it at the beginning of the trip. It’ll really help you get more familiar with the city’s layout. You can navigate the rest of your time here more easily, when you understand the street grid, and can circle back to the places you want to visit again.

Why choose Miami Tour Company?

Founded in 2008, we are one of the highest rated bus tour agencies in the country , and we consistently rank as the #1 Miami sightseeing tour on TripAdvisor . Why? We’ve combined our knowledge as a 3rd generation bus operator with our passion for hospitality to create one-of-a-kind tours and private charters that speak to a variety of ages and interests.

Safe driving is our number one priority. The buses are equipped with 3-point harness passenger safety belts. Your bus driver follows the rules of the road and knows the streets inside and out, so you’ll always be on-time and never feel rushed.

What kind of bus tours do you offer?

We operate daily tours in Miami, Key West, Orlando and the Everglades. The tours take place in a new coach bus, and provide an insider’s view of the culture, history, and fun facts that define the area. For example, did you know that 85% of Miami households speak Spanish as their first language? Well, now you do.

Are you travelling with kids? Great! We offer a family discount and special prices for ages 3 to 17. All the activities are family-friendly, we created the Everglades Tour specifically with families in mind. From having seat-belts on the bus, to the safety ear muffs for kids, to holding a baby gator, to the boat ride, there's fun stuff to keep everyone entertained.

Whether you want to explore the Wynwood Art District, put your feet on the sand in Miami Beach, experience Cuban food and culture, visit Everglades National Park, or go to Key West for the day, we’ve got the right thing to do.

Our ready-to-go sightseeing tours have everything you need for a great day of fun—free bottled water, illustrated maps, luggage storage, WiFi, and a phone charger at your seat. Buy tickets... Meet your guide... and away you go.

The 13 best things to do in Miami

M iami's buzzing vibrancy comes from its subtropical location combined with its multiple cultural influences – all of which can be experienced during a stay in the city. There's its history of colourful Art Deco design, which can be seen on a South Beach walking tour, plus a host of contemporary museums and art galleries with vast private collections. Little Havana is the place to visit for an insight into Miami's Cuban heritage (and excellent cuisine). If you want to be outdoors there's plenty to do too, from stand-up paddleboarding to kayaking through mangroves. And, of course, there are the beaches. Telegraph Travel's destination expert Shayne Benowitz rounds up some of the best things to do in Miami.

For further Miami inspiration, see our guides to the city's best  hotels ,  restaurants ,  shopping ,  bars ,  nightlife ,  things to do for free  and  beaches .

Tick off key Art Deco landmarks

Learn all about the architectural style that defines South Beach on a walking tour organised by the Miami Design Preservation League. Tours depart daily from the Art Deco Welcome Center on Ocean Drive. The 90-minute trip covers Art Deco architecture and its historical context, as well as Mediterranean Revival and Miami Modern (MiMo). You'll view the hallmarks of the movement in both the exterior and interior design of landmark hotels and buildings throughout the historic district.

Insider's tip: Wear sunscreen, bring a hat and look for shade during the tour. South Beach's sun shines bright.

Contact: mdpl.org

Browse the history of art and design

The Wolfsonian – Florida International University is situated in a historic Mediterranean Revival building in the heart of South Beach's Art Deco District. It combines a museum, library and research centre with an intriguingly specific scope and mission; the collection of 120,000 artefacts, photographs, design objects and artworks dating from 1885 to 1945 sheds light on 'the persuasive power of art and design, and explores what it means to be modern.' Curators work with historical advertisements, posters, clothing, photographs and film to illustrate their theses.

Insider's tip: Bear in mind that entry to the museum is free during extended hours on Fridays from 6pm-9pm.

Contact: wolfsonian.org

See contemporary art through the lens of the Americas

The Pérez Art Museum Miami, also known as PAMM, is found bayfront on Museum Park in downtown Miami. Its design, created by prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron, mimics the iconic Stiltsville homes built offshore in Biscayne Bay in the 1930s. The structure alone, with abundant outdoor space to swoon at the views, is worth the visit. Inside, the museum's thought-provoking contemporary collection focuses on international art of the 20th and 21st centuries from the perspective of the Americas.

Insider's tip:  Take a break at onsite Verde restaurant where you can enjoy fresh salads, pizza and entrees with sweeping views of the bay.

Nearest metro: Metromover Museum Park Station

Spend an afternoon with stingrays and sharks

The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science is one of the only science museums in the world to house both an aquarium and planetarium under one roof. It's found on Museum Park downtown, next to the Pérez Art Museum Miami. The hands-on, interactive exhibits make for a very family-friendly outing. The Gulf Stream Aquarium spans three floors and includes an open tank at the rooftop. You'll spy hammerhead sharks, stingrays and mahi-mahi circling the 500,000-gallon tank.

Insider's tip: Buy your tickets and reserve your planetarium time slot online ahead of time as they're usually sold out on the day.

Marvel at mega mansions

Spy the homes of the rich and famous (think Gloria Estefan, Don Johnson and Shaquille O'Neill) on a 90-minute narrated boat ride through Biscayne Bay. You'll ride on an Island Queen Cruises ship past Millionaire's Row and Star Island, as well as taking in lovely views of Miami's downtown skyline, giant cruise ships lining the Port of Miami and the lavish condos of Fisher Island – a private island favoured by some of Miami's wealthiest residents. The Millionaire's Row Tour holds 140 passengers, and snacks and cocktails are available on board.

Insider's tip:  Set at Bayside Marketplace, cruise the waterfront shops and restaurants before or after your cruise.

Kayak through mangrove estuaries

For a taste of South Florida's rugged outdoors – without the long drive to Everglades National Park – make a beeline for Oleta River State Park in North Miami Beach; it's a mere 20-minute drive from South Beach and is one of Florida's 175 award-winning state parks, state trails and historic sites. Inside the park, manoeuvre through mangrove estuaries on stand-up paddleboards or kayaks, hit the tranquil lagoon beach or go fishing. It's also a prime destination for mountain biking, with 15 miles of trails ranging from novice to expert across the 1,033-acre park.

Insider's tip:  Kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddleboards and bicycles are all available to rent from the park's Oleta River Outdoor Center .

Get up close to rare plants and exotic butterflies

The Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden has a mission of 'exploring, explaining and conserving tropical plants' and occupies 83 lush acres in Coral Gables. You can visit the gardens on guided walking tours, tram tours or on your own. Collections and exhibits include rare plants, Wings of the Tropics with exotic butterflies, and various aquatic displays. The gardens also claim to have one of the biggest living collections of palms and cycads in the world. It's a beautiful place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and commune with nature.

Insider's tip: Special events – from art exhibitions to mango festivals – occur throughout the year, so check the schedule ahead of your visit.

Front crawl in a historic swimming pool

The 820,000-gallon natural spring pool in Coral Gables is fed by an underground aquifer, and was created in a coral rock quarry in 1923. It's named The Venetian Pool, has waterfalls, cave-like grottos and a picturesque bridge, and is surrounded by porticos and palm trees. It was part of the 'grand plan' that founder and developer George Merrick had for the residential area of Coral Gables, which is nicknamed The City Beautiful. Today, the Venetian Pool is a unique swimming destination and the only pool on the National Register of Historic Places. 

Insider's tip: The water temperature is maintained at a consistent 77 degrees Farenheit (25 degrees Celcius), which feels great in the summer and spring months, but can be quite chilly in the winter season.

Nosy around a millionaire's estate

Millionaire industrialist James Deering built his private waterfront estate Vizcaya in the 1910s, and he modelled it on grand European villas. On the east terrace overlooking Biscayne Bay, the building resembles a Venetian palazzo, and is filled with elaborate Renaissance tapestries, Rococo furniture, Chinese objets d'art, Roman sculptures and early 20th-century paintings. Rooms are styled after different Italian cities: Milan in the Music Room, Palermo at reception and Venice in various bedrooms.

Insider's tip:  Get lost in the mansion’s labyrinthine formal European gardens .

Nearest metro: Metrorail Vizcaya Station

Cycle past alligators on a 15-mile loop

Everglades National Park is home to one of the world's most unique ecosystems. It spans 1.5 million acres of subtropical wetlands, and is made up of sawgrass prairies, hardwood hammocks and saltwater marshes, with an enormous slow-moving river flowing south into the Florida Bay. The park is also famously the habitat of the Florida alligator. The Shark Valley Visitor Center is the closest access point from Miami and can be reached in about an hour's drive. Take a tram tour led by naturalists, or rent a bike to ride a 15-mile loop.

Insider's tip: If you visit in summertime, be prepared for hot, muggy conditions, and pack sunscreen, bug spray, a hat and water any time of year.
