If you care more about why Miami looks the way it does than about ticking off photo stops, this private tour is built around history and buildings. Your guide drives you from Ocean Drive and the Versace Mansion across to Downtown's cultural and financial districts, including the Opera House area and the causeways, and on to Vizcaya.

It's private, so there's time for questions, and the guide adapts the pace to you.

Good to know

Hotel or port pickup and water are included (hotel pickup at selected hotels only). Food, drinks and tips aren't. It's rated 4.6 from a small number of reviews. At a similar price, the same company's general private city tour has more reviews if architecture isn't your main interest.
