What you'll see & do

• ✓*Please arrive 15 min before tour start time. It's not possible to join any of the tours halfway or once they have started. *We do not recommend driving in Miami. Consider a ride-hailing company like Uber or Lyft, taxi, private car or public transport. Reach out to Sobeach Tours to ask about alternatives. *It's hot in Miami from May-October. Come prepared to walk outside in the heat for an extended period of time. Temperatures usually range in the low to mid 80sF (30C), however, during heatwaves temperatures can reach well over 90F (35C). We recommend bringing a hat, bottled water, and sunscreen. We'll go inside buildings, try to keep you in the shade and make some stops but this is a 2 hour walking tour outdoors. *The trolley will be used to go from point A to point B but this is not a trolley tour. It's a walking tour so be prepared to walk for about 2 hours.
