Culinary Culture With Miami Food Tours

If you visit Miami there is definitely lots to explore, but don’t just enjoy the scenery and attractions, there’s lot’s of good food you can discover here in Miami. You you learn a lot about the food culture in Miami with a short food tour. I am sure that it will leave you with lots of good memories.

Cuban-Inspired Food Tour (Tour on a bus)

An authentic gastronomy vacation that you’ll experience all in just a few hours!

Miami wouldn’t be Miami without the Cuban spirit that permeates the city. Our Cuban Culturegastronomic tour explores Miami’s Cuban-centric neighborhoods — while tasting the best of the Caribbean island’s delicacies at low-key, family-style restaurants as well as a True Cuban Institution that have made a name for themselves with great cuisine and authentic Cuban ambiance. Bite into Cuban culture (and sample its tastiest dishes) as you enjoy anecdotes about its delicious connection to Miami — with accompanying architectural, historical and cultural narration by local expert foodie guides for a true taste of Cuba.

Little Havana offers a vibrant culture where food is made from the soul and served to commemorate all that we left back in the island. With its colorful murals, guayabera-clad men playing dominoes and cigar rollers at work, Little Havana is where the spirit of Miami’s exile Cuban community comes alive, and where we make several delicious stops. But eating is not everything Little Havana is about. You’ll have the chance to stop at a Cuban gift shop, check in on the cigar rollers of the area, stops at local art galleries, cheer on the domino experts holding court at Domino Park and take a stroll near the Tower Theater, the area’s oldest movie houses.

We will stop to try Traditional Cuban cuisine at multiple stops, and tell you all you need to know about it: history, tradition and just how some became Miami’s favorite comfort foods.

Food Tour Highlights

  • Meet at a central location in South Beach to begin the journey with a taste of a Cuban classic OR pick up at your hotel.

  • Air-conditioned transportation back to South Beach or hotel in Miami Beach or drop off at your hotel.

“OUTSTANDING!!! Miami Culinary Tours in South Beach”

This is our second tour with this company (we took the one in Little Havana back in Memorial weekend) and I have to say that it was outstanding. We landed in Miami Friday afternoon and contacted the company owner right away asking for 5 spots for that same night. She graciously told us about the tour and that they did have room for us…GREAT! We showed at the meeting location and the tour guide was there on time (Leilani). She was VERY professional and very knowledgeable about Miami.[Read More]

“Fun and Yummy Tour”

We loved this tour! The food was great and the education about the history and buildings was very interesting. We would definetly do this again!

One tip – do wear comfortable shoes. Our tour lasted almost three hours and although I don’t think we covered more than 3 miles, we did stand a good deal of the time.

3 Reasons To Try A Miami Food Tour

No.1 – Know where the best local restaurants is!

One of the best ways to explore Miami is to go on a Miami Food Tour, it would be much more enjoyable if you know where you can enjoy good food in Miami, no matter it is Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner!

“Awesome experience”

This was my first trip to South Beach so on my first day I decided to do the South Beach dinner tour. Tour guide – Lani – was very friendly and had a vast knowledge of the South Beach area and it’s various cuisines and history. We stopped at several locations that I would not have known about without this tour. We left promptly at 6:00 pm and each location was ready with our food or drinks. This seems to be a very well-run and organized tour company. I will definitely recommend this tour to my friends, family and coworkers!!

No.2 – Learn About The Good Food & Culinary History

There’s often a lot of things we don’t know about the food we eat and how it becomes food on the table, Food Tours will enrich your knowledge about its local food culture as well as getting to know it’s significant history of the past.

Really great architectural/food tour of Miami Beach, awesome way to get introduced to the history and culture of Miami Beach and I highly recommend you start a trip to South Beach here to get the lay of the land. As a part-time local, wanted to take a friend who was down here working cause he wasn’t a beach guy and didn’t want to just sit and drink all day.

I learned a whole lot of things about the history and development of the city that I had no idea about, and the selection of restaurants on the tour was a perfect representation of what (in my experience) locals eat every day.

It was a fun mix of people on our tour , ranging from a woman who’s friend was taking her out for her 50th Bday, to a cool family with a daughter in a local culinary school- and everyone, across the board, had a great time.

No.3 – Enjoy The Good Food with Your Family!

Food is something that brings comfort and joy! You get to enjoy good food with your family or loved one. Miami food tours are not just going around and eating food as you go, it’s about the great taste of Miami!

“Tasty and Fun, All in One!”

This is definitely something anyone who is visiting Miami should try. During a solo trip to Miami, I went on a tour June 16, 2012 with tour guide Leilani. We ventured into a lot of places I had never noticed or would not bother to try while in town. The tour guide also had ALOT of knowledge, not just on Miami but a lot of the food we tried. She knew history, taste, recipes, you name it. She also brought us to a few spots that, even this being my second trip to Miami, I had no clue were so important to pop or American culture. A lot of the food was tasty; there were few (maybe two out of maybe ten spots visited) that were awful. Tour guide also made me feel very welcome being I was the only person in the group without a friend. Be aware, it’s a lot of walking in the hot sun so if you can’t do that, please second guess this tour. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend it. It was well worth it.
