Would love to do it again anytime
Hagen was so great and so much fun; since he lives there, he showed us all the must-haves of this great city in a very vivid way.

A really great tour through Miami City! Our guide was super friendly, knowledgeable, and told us many interesting stories and exciting background information about the city's history. You really learned a lot about Miami. In addition, there were numerous opportunities to take beautiful photos and experience the city's highlights from different perspectives.

Great city tour - always recommended
We booked a tour with Hagen in Miami as a family. Hagen has shown us places that you would not otherwise see as a typical tourist. He knows the history of the city very well and tells it vividly and understandably. That way you get a real feel for Miami, not just the well-known spots. Hagen gives many concrete tips for the days after. What's worth it, what you can save yourself, and where to eat really well. The tour was personal and warm with a lot of humor . In addition, there were many small stories from his life that made everything even more tangible. Thanks for everything, Hagen. If you want to experience Miami authentically, book the tour with Banana Joe. See you next time with crispy flakes and roll mops.

Miami Tour
This was our first family trip to Miami so we were looking for something that gave us a general look of the area to give us an idea of places that would like to visit. The tour hit every location that we had looked into when researching our trip. It was well worth the time and the fact that the tour was a small group and picked us up from the hotel was even better. The tour had plenty of stops to get out and check some of the attractions. I would highly recommend.

4 hours I will NEVER get back
Throughout our trip around the US we have done a number of city tours. This was terrible. The spending which we drove around for the guide to tell us as we are passing significant sites it was too late to take any photos. His commentary was poor and driving through the poorest parts of the city like these people were a spectacle was in bad taste. 12 people were crammed into a poorly AC minivan so anyone sitting in the back couldn’t hear or see anything. Would NOT recommend
Operator response
thanks for your feedback – we always appreciate hearing different perspectives! Most of our guests actually love the Miami city tour in our cozy minivan – it’s personal, direct, and you get to ask the guide anything (yes, even how many Cuban sandwiches he’s had that week). But of course, not everyone enjoys the same things – some prefer a double-decker bus with 40 strangers and a pre-recorded voice. To each their own! As for the AC – welcome to Florida! In summer traffic, even the best air conditioning systems start to wave the white flag. It’s not just our van, it’s physics. But hey, you wanted the real Miami experience, right? And yes, we show all sides of Miami – not just the polished Instagram spots, but also the everyday life of this diverse, colorful, sometimes chaotic city. From Little Havana to the fancy high-rises and back, because that’s what Miami is: a melting pot of cultures, histories, and stories. We’re proud of that – and we won’t pretend otherwise just for the sake of comfort. Safe travels, Your Banana Joe Tours Team 🍌🚌
