Best Tours & activities in Miami (2026)

A guided tour is a good way to make sense of a city as spread out as Miami. The Miami Design Preservation League runs a daily two-hour Art Deco walking tour from its Welcome Center on Ocean Drive, with lobby visits and headsets included, and it is free for children aged 12 and under. Miami Culinary Tours, founded in 2009, runs food walks in Little Havana, South Beach, Wynwood and the Design District, each pairing tastings with local history.

To see the city from the water, Island Queen Cruises runs sightseeing trips on Biscayne Bay, including the Millionaire's Row cruise and sunset cruises. Coopertown Airboats has run airboat rides into the Everglades from the Tamiami Trail since 1947, with a live alligator presentation, and the Museum of Miami, formerly HistoryMiami, runs scheduled walking, boat and coach tours released each quarter. Book popular tours ahead, especially from December to April, bring water and sun protection, and check meeting points and any park entrance fees before you set off.
