Top 10 Literary, Art & Music Tours in Florida, United States

August 30, 2021 Mollie Coke

Not just for retirees and theme park enthusiasts, the Sunshine State offers beautiful beaches, pristine diving conditions, and sizzling nightlife. Salsa the night away in a smokin’ hot Miami club, or swing away at one of Kissimmee’s many premium golf courses. An airboat tour of the Everglades is an unforgettable adventure – just look out for alligators! For the risk-averse, a lazy day spent on the soft sands of an Emerald Coast beach is as rejuvenating as a spa treatment.

It was a great experience altogether. I appreciate the love that Susana Baker expresses about Little Havana and its history. The most beautiful was to visit Cubaocho and meet the owner and art collector who save a lot of artworks risking his life and brought them to Miami from Cuba - Roberto Ramos. I love this tour because it's full of information about history and people and culture

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!

There was laughter, awe, excitement, and tears on this tour. Lance gave us an amazing tour experience throughout Wynwood filled with insight into Miami, Wynwood, and street art more generally. Some additional pros beyond the art were the length of the tour, only one hour, and the golf carts. Miami is extremely warm and humid and many tours can be miserable if you're out walking in the sun. I cannot recommend this tour enough, even if you have not been interested in street art in the past.

Was visiting my newly found sister, who happens to work for Gatorpark. Her name is Susan Greenburg. She set up a wonderful sunset airboat ride into the Everglades. Our driver Kennasaw was a seasoned veteran at the controls. My grandchildren loved the ride, made memories to last a lifetime. Stopped at an old house in the Park which was used by President Eisenhower. This Park is well worth the trip if in the Miami area.

Jerome was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the art in the area. There was so much to see that we passed quickly by. I really enjoyed the tour but a little more time would have been appreciated. They took all precautions which made the van a little warm and stuffy behind a mask. This tour will give you a taste of some of the art and history. Do take time to visit the shop.

I would do this at the start of your trip. Mark told us about a lot of places we wanted to visit while we were there that we would have missed if we hadn't taken this tour. He arrived on time And sent me a message that he was there to meet us. Mark was full of great information and stories about the area. You can tell he has a great appreciation for all the great art Deco architecture in the area. We had a great time and I would recommend this tour.

Little Havana is one of Miami's most culturally rich spots that showcase Cuban culture and history. The smells of frying steaks and plantains wafts out of restaurants and mixes with the scent of strong Cuban coffee coming from walk-up windows. The strong beats and passionate melody of live Cuban salsa music is heard for blocks as Miami traffic rushes by. Cigar shops and domino players, bars, and art stores, ice cream shops and monuments fill the streets. Our tour will help you understand the scene, learn about the history of Cubans in Miami and deepen your appreciation of the culture. This tour takes you on a journey through the famous 'Calle Ocho' (8th street) where the street is bubbling with people, culture and flavor.
