April Best guide ever. Thank you for the Excellent Tour. It was amazing!!! I booked the next tour wirh April as Guide

Great tour
Was a good tour. Could accommodate like 10 people+. Was easy pick up at our hotel, based off their map of pick ups. It wasn't super hot and sunny the day we went but on a hot Miami day, you wouldn't be able to beat getting in the ac. The stops weren't as long as I would've liked, especially in little Havana. But it was good to see different parts of the city with the guide explaining some of the history and who lived where. He also took pictures of us at every stop.

Interesting and informative tour
Christian was a very good guide and gave us lots of information about Miami Beach and Miami City.
via Tripadvisor
Tailored VIP “BananaJoe” tour, by Christian Morgado. We know Little Havana, so swapped it out for other sites new to us.
Very informative, educational tour/history of MIA, its relation to Cuba, and insight into Cuba’s plight, today (we asked, at tour’s end). Since we’ve stayed in Little Havana three times and visited once before, we asked to see other sites, allowing us to see The Miami Circle, among others. We were disappointed by the Biscayne Bay Market, but really enjoyed a Cuban Flatbread at Margaritaville! Our tour inspired us to visit the Miami Museum, The Museum of the Cuban Diaspora, and we’ve just ordered books on Miami’s archeaology and a history of Cuba. Highly recommend Christian Morgado, our wonderful guide!

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Official Miami City Tour Small Group Experience with Pickup: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Miami.
How much does The Official Miami City Tour Small Group Experience with Pickup cost?
+
Prices start at $61 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Miami usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Official Miami City Tour Small Group Experience with Pickup take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Miami is not rushed.
Is The Official Miami City Tour Small Group Experience with Pickup worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 83 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Miami, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Official Miami City Tour Small Group Experience with Pickup?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is The Official Miami City Tour Small Group Experience with Pickup suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Official Miami City Tour Small Group Experience with Pickup?
+
Around 29 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Miami can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Miami and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Official Miami City Tour Small Group Experience with Pickup start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Miami within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Miami?
+
Miami splits between the water and the neighbourhoods. Biscayne Bay boat tours, Key Biscayne snorkelling and Everglades airboats cover the first, while Wynwood mural walks, Little Havana food crawls and South Beach deco tours cover the second. We rank Everglades operators carefully: many depart from Miami but the good ones run their own boats rather than reselling seats. On Outty we rank every Miami experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2 hrs Miami Private Boat with Cooler, Ice, Bluetooth Stereo, Little Havana Food and Walking Tour in Miami, Miami: 2 Hour Private Yacht Cruise. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Miami?
+
November to April, dry season, before hurricane and humidity months. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Miami?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
