Things to do in Coral Gables, Florida (FL): The Best Sightseeing Tours

September 28, 2021 Madelene Haan

Boasting almost exclusively Mediterranean Revivalist buildings and urban planning following the City Beautiful movement, Coral Gables is an elegantly laid out, pedestrian-friendly city boasting tropical foliage, charming boutiques and architectural grandeur. Historic landmarks such as the Biltmore Hotel and Merrick House provide a document of the history of the City Beautiful, while the crystalline Venetian Pool provides relaxation in a setting of exquisite beauty.

John’s forte is the Everglades (wow, what an amazing day!), but we added an excursion to the Keys, thinking “we’re here, when else will we get to go?” and it was great fun, too. It’s quite a ways to go and back without staying over, but John paced the long day just right and mixed in nature, history and even a fine lunch. He knows where to find the tiny Key deer which roam the lawns of hidden neighborhoods as well as which back streets to meander for the quaintest houses. The cemetery is not to be missed. Totally recommended!

I couldn’t say enough amazing things about Magic City Tours and our host Rafael. He was so accommodating, fun, and so sweet. He drove us around all the must see sights in the city. He had amazing facts and took us to the funnest restaurants and bars as well. We didn’t skip a beat. It was fun from start to finish, plus so much more. He treated us with patience and kindness and allowed us to be our fun wild selfs and made our whole vacation day. We highly recommend Magic City!

We combine the opportunity to learn and see all things related to the Florida Everglades as well as an in depth view of Miami and its unique facets. Our Jeeps make this tour Tons of Fun as we can easily do it safari style with the top down, or a comfortable ride with air conditioning in a brand new vehicle.

The private guide and driver provided by Couturista on our 2-day Miami Shopping tour were very friendly, extremely professional and very knowledgeable. We loved little Havana and the Miami we did not know before including Wynwood. Great value for all the white-glove service included. Highly recommended! Ana Mendez

This trip was very good organized. I booked it about 3 weeks before the tour, and next day Fabio already confirmed everything. I booked several tours during my this vacation and some tour operators never confirmed. I understand that during pandemic a lot of tour were canceled, but why you still sell them. Who wants during vacation spend time to communicate and wait for refund. These guys were great: everything on time. Pick up and drop off as promissed. Clean bus. Guide Tamara was very nice and knowledgeable. Driver ( Sorry, I don't remember your name) did a great job. I can't imagine to drive such a distance by myself. I chose trolley tour in Key West: I just wanted to see the town. I didn't need any water activity (I could do it in Miami beach). Trolley tour was amazing. Tips: take about $100 cash p/person with you because they sell activities before you come to Key West, price is cheaper, but they accept cash. You don't want spend time looking for ATM (you need every 5 min in this charming town) and pay fee (even couple dollars) because they have just a few banks there. It's better to stay overnight (hotels are very expensive, but you are so exhausted on your way home) to get felling of real relaxation from this wonderful small town. And 6 hours are not enough if you want to see more: museums, lovely streets, cozy restaurants. I'll definitely come back for a couple of days next time. Even if you book 2 one ways tours, it'll be cheaper than fly to Key West from Miami...:) Price of this tour is great! And it's so amazing to go by bus on all these bridges, but to do it in one day is very difficult. It's for young people only :)
