Experience Details

Discover the vibrant Art Deco atmosphere and Latin flavors of South Beach on our Miami Food Tour! We begin at The Betsy Hotel, where you'll uncover the city's rich Cuban and Caribbean heritage!


As we stroll down the iconic Ocean Drive, we’ll stop at the Ocean Drive Bistro to soak in the Atlantic breeze and reveal our incredible Secret Dish, a creative surprise that pairs perfectly with a crisp Margarita. The rhythm leads us to Call Me Cuban, where we’ll savor a flaky Pastelito de Guava con Queso (and maybe a minty Mojito) while celebrating the family's culinary legacy.


After passing landmarks like the Versace Mansion and the The Kent Hotel, we’ll visit the Wolfsonian Museum to see the art that shaped this city. We then step into the 1948 retro 11th Street Diner, a gleaming chrome neighborhood staple, for a bold and classic Cuban Sandwich.
