Miami and Fort Lauderdale Private City Tour: Beaches, Art Deco & Little Havana
Select participants and date
You step into the day somewhere between the Atlantic’s edge and a gleaming skyline. The driver eases onto the coastal avenue and the ocean opens like a dare—shifting blues, salt on the air, palms leaning toward the sound. This private city tour stitches together two South Florida personalities: Fort Lauderdale’s quieter waterfront history and Miami’s high-voltage cultural sprawl.

Adventure Tips
Beat the heat early
Start early or plan most walking in the morning/late afternoon—midday sun and humidity spike rapidly, especially in summer.
Carry small bills
Cafés in Little Havana and market vendors often prefer cash for quick purchases and tips; keep $20–40 in small denominations.
Plan for traffic
Allow extra transfer time between Fort Lauderdale and Miami—I‑95 and US‑1 can add 20–60 minutes during rush hours.
Protect camera gear
Ocean spray and bright reflections are common—use a UV filter and a microfibre cloth to keep lenses clear.
