Overview

Experience Miami Beach's vice, glamour, and secrets. Our dynamic tour blends walking and trolley riding to showcase a mix of history, architecture, and local culture, covering both top sights and hidden local gems not found in standard tourist guides. During the tour, you will learn about Miami Beach's fascinating history and how Jewish elders, Cuban refugees, Hollywood, and the mafia shaped this "Billion Dollar Sandbar." We cover world-famous attractions but also venture beyond tourist hotspots to uncover charming streets, trendy rooftops, speakeasies, and top local eateries. We'll visit filming locations from Miami Vice, Scarface, & The Birdcage, and explore local hangouts. Our itinerary visits the Art Deco District, Ocean Drive, Versace Mansion, Espanola Way, South Pointe Park, Fisher Island, SoFI neighborhood, & historic South Beach hotels. Private tours and Spanish language tours are also available. You can find more information and submit an inquiry at the Sobeach Tours website.

Consider a ride-hailing company like Uber or Lyft, taxi, private car or public transport. Reach out to Sobeach Tours to ask about alternatives.*It's hot in Miami from May-October. Come prepared to walk outside in the heat for an extended period of time. Temperatures usually range in the low to mid 80sF (30C), however, during heatwaves temperatures can reach well over 90F (35C). We recommend bringing a hat, bottled water, and sunscreen. We'll go inside buildings, try to keep you in the shade and make some stops but this is a 2 hour walking tour outdoors.*The trolley will be used to go from point A to point B but this is not a trolley tour. It's a walking tour so be prepared to walk for about 2 hours.
