What is a custom tour to Miami?

A custom tour to Miami is a private, fully personalized itinerary built around your dates, interests, and budget. Instead of following a fixed group schedule, you work with a local expert to choose experiences like South Beach Art Deco walk, Everglades airboat safari, and Wynwood street art walk. Travelers typically spend 7–10 days in Miami, visiting in November–April, with custom tours starting from around €2,600 per person.

A custom tour to Miami is not the same trip as a package. It's designed around you — your pace, your interests, your dates — with a local partner who lives there and knows which streets are worth the walk and which are worth skipping. A custom Miami tour walks South Beach Art Deco with a historian, books Little Havana cigar rolling + Cuban lunch, and a Keys drive or Everglades airboat — the two best day trips from the city.

Miami sits in USA in Americas, and rewards travelers who go beyond the highlights. Our custom itineraries start with the icons — South Beach Art Deco walk and Little Havana cigar and Cuban lunch — then pivot to the kind of local moments that make a trip memorable: a morning with a private guide, a quiet hour at Florida Keys day before the crowds arrive, and an evening chosen just for you.

Plan for November–April as the best window to visit. A one-week custom trip starts from €2,600 per person, including private guides, curated hotels, and flexible transport — peak weeks cost more, shoulder months less. Miami sits in the comfortable mid-range of our destinations for price.
