Remember way earlier this year when I ate my way through South Beach? That was all thanks to Miami Culinary Tours. For tourists and locals alike, this is a really great way to explore the culinary scene in Miami. I took the South Beach tour, but there is also one in Little Havana. You can book a private food tour or if you'd rather fill up on libations instead of food, you can opt for the South Beach Cocktail Tour.
I had an amazing time when I went on the South Beach Food Tour. There were so many different cuisines ranging from authentic Colombian empanadas to a traditional Jewish dessert. It was really cool to be guided around and learn random facts about the different parts of the area. I learned a lot, and I certainly ate a lot...If you're visiting Miami, I definitely recommend going on one of these tours. Not only will you be totally stuffed and satisfied, but you will get to experience the culture and history of South Beach and it's surrounding areas. The organization has just launched a brand new tour through the Wynwood Art District. I cannot wait until I get to go next weekend! Rest assured that I will give you a full rundown on each and every bite!Miami Culinary Tours Launches The Wynwood Art District Food Tour
