Wynwood Food & Art Tour by Miami Culinary Tours

Exploring Wynwood: Street Art Meets Culinary Delights

If you’re heading to Miami and want to get a real sense of its trendy, artsy side, the Wynwood Food & Art Tour by Miami Culinary Tours is a fantastic choice. For $89.99, you’ll spend about two and a half hours walking through one of the city’s most colorful neighborhoods, sampling excellent food and soaking in some of the most impressive outdoor murals around. Led by knowledgeable guides, this tour is a lively way to connect with Wynwood’s creative spirit and diverse food scene.

What we love most about this experience are the quality of the food tastings—which are indeed generous enough to replace a full meal—and the insider stories about Wynwood’s transformation from gritty warehouse district to outdoor art museum. The guides are clearly passionate and well-informed, making the experience both fun and educational.

One potential consideration is that the tour is quite active—there’s a good bit of walking, about half a mile on paved streets, with some steps and uneven surfaces. Also, on days when Wynwood Walls are closed to the public for private events, the guide will focus more on the surrounding murals and neighborhood art, which may feel less grand than the famed Walls themselves.

This tour is perfect for curious travelers who love street art, enjoy trying different cuisines, and appreciate hearing stories behind local culture. Families, couples, or solo explorers who want a balanced mix of sights and bites will find it particularly rewarding.

What We Think About the Experience

The walk through Wynwood’s murals is a highlight, especially if you’re a fan of street art.
