From classic Cuban sandwiches in Little Havana tours to New York Pizza and fresh ceviche, Miami boasts vibrant flavors that reflect its melting pot-status of multicultural influences.
1. Wynwood Walls Combo Food and Art Walking Tour
Wynwood is a unique and simply fascinating art neighborhood in Miami. I lived just outside Wynwood for a month, and I truly enjoyed the district’s vibe and ambiance.
Not just because of the Wynwood Walls art center but also because of the entire neighborhood.
What started out as a small community for dedicated artists is now the home of an incredible gathering of street art inside and outside of Wynwood Walls.
The street art in Wynwood is always changing, so overnight, you might find that new murals have replaced old ones while you slept – making this an ever-changing living art exhibition.
On this food tour of Wynwood, I accidentally booked the VIP option, which resulted in me having my first margarita at 11:45 on a Sunday. But you know, go with the flow, YOLO, and all that.
The Wynwood Foor and Art Tour starts at Coyo Taco, a famous and very small taco restaurant in Wynwood that has indoor and outdoor seating.
Starting off with tacos, we also get an introduction to the historical background of this magnificent neighborhood by our energetic and knowledgeable guide, Alan.
This tour has five stops over around three hours, and in between each food stop, you will also pause by various murals with a special history that you will learn about.
You will also hear about special buildings and interesting anecdotes about the incredible development and history of Wynwood as an art hub in Miami.
In addition to Cayo Coco, you will stop at La Sandwicherie Wynwood for a taste, which receives fresh bread several times a day. Then, head over to Joe’s Pizza for a slice of a hardcore NYC pizza bite.
After that, you get to try special Asian dumplings while an in-house DJ is setting the mood (and a fun beer goes along with it if you have the VIP package).
If you have a sweet tooth, you will love the Night Owl bakery. This neon-lit cake-heaven served one of the absolutely most delicious pieces of cake I have ever tried, full stop.
So rich and powerful that I had to bring half of it home for later!
The last food stop on this Wynwood tour is Veza Sur Brewing Co, where you can test various craft bites and beer (VIP upgrade) from one of the best-known and most charming breweries in Miami.
And finally, you will enter the Wynwood Walls art center for a one-hour guided tour of the whole area, inside exhibitions and out – an incredible place.

I am super confident you will enjoy this walk when you visit Miami.

I have traveled to Cuba regularly for years, and it is also interesting to experience the Cuban culture as it has evolved in Miami in contrast to the Cuban culture in Cuba.
On this tour, you will get to sample unique dishes and amazing Cuban delicacies like guava pastries, chicken plantain cups, the sweet treats, the flan ice cream, and a lot more.
