Take a free tour

Miami is a fascinating city - vibrant, energetic, culturally diverse and rich in history. The best way to gain a deeper understanding of Miami's history and culture is by taking a guided tour. There are several free tours which operate throughout Miami, such as the Biltmore Hotel tour, a historic hotel with an amazing history; The Barnacle Historic Site tour, Miami-Dade County's oldest house; or the Cape Florida Lighthouse tour, the oldest building in South Florida.

While all of these tours are free, it's worth bearing in mind that some may require a few dollars for tips or car parking.

Self-guided tours have also become popular in Miami, with the Coconut Grove Walking Tour, Miami Beach Walking Tour, Crandon Park Walking Tour and the Downtown Waterfront Walking Tour proving popular with tourists.
