OR:
📍 MEETING POINT:
Maurice A. Ferré Park
1075 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL 33132, USA
IMPORTANT:
🚫 Street pickups are not allowed in Miami Beach.
The city issues high fines even for very short stops. 💸⚠️
To stay safe and fully compliant, we only pick up at hotels that have a private driveway or loading zone where brief stopping is permitted. 🚐✨
🏨 If your hotel does not have a private driveway, you will automatically receive a nearby meeting point at a hotel with a safe loading zone.
The meeting point is always easy to reach on foot and will be listed in your final confirmation. 👣💛
We plan everything so you can simply enjoy the experience.
We like to make it easy
🕐 PICKUP TIME & FLEXIBILITY
With private tours, a punctual pickup is usually no issue.
That said, Miami often experiences heavy traffic, road closures, police activity, or short-notice traffic changes.
Even with perfect planning, minor delays can occasionally occur.
We plan your tour as precisely as possible and will inform you immediately
if the pickup time needs to be adjusted slightly due to traffic conditions.
Please make sure to leave us your WhatsApp number so we can reach you instantly in case of short-notice updates.
📧 IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING COMMUNICATION & PICKUP
With our private VIP tours, your booked time slot is fixed, and pickup usually takes place exactly at that time.
Still, we strongly recommend reading all emails carefully, as we share final details, notes, or adjustments there — especially important in a city like Miami, where traffic, road closures, or events can occur at any time.
Our system runs automatically, but for VIP tours we also monitor everything manually to ensure your pickup is as precise as possible.
📱 If anything important or urgent comes up, we will contact you by phone — for international numbers almost always via WhatsApp.
Please make sure to leave us your current WhatsApp number.
🌴 This way, we ensure you are always perfectly informed.

🌴 MIAMI TIME — WHY EVEN VIP TOURS CAN SOMETIMES TAKE A LITTLE LONGER 🌴
On a private VIP tour, everything is generally planned precisely and aligned with your schedule.
That said, Miami remains a city that moves more spontaneously than any clock — and that’s exactly what makes it so unique.
🚗 Typical VIP reality in Miami:
Traffic on the MacArthur Causeway, Brickell Avenue, or Collins Avenue can shift into a premium traffic scenario within minutes — often caused by police closures, VIP motorcades, major events, or sudden construction.
We remain professional, calm, and flexible.
Your pickup and your tour are secure — delays in Miami are not caused by us, but by a city that reinvents itself every single day.
🌞 In short: stay relaxed. We take care of everything. Your VIP tour will take place — smooth, safe, and at the highest level.
🍌 Note on food & drinks during the tour
You are welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks at any time.
That said, Miami offers an incredible variety of restaurants, food markets, street-food spots, and hidden culinary gems, so upon request we are happy to integrate a curated food or drink stop into your VIP tour.
From exclusive fine dining to local insider favorites — anything is possible.
If you wish, we can even design your entire tour as a food-focused experience with multiple stops.
Tip: If you prefer to stay fully independent during the tour, we still recommend bringing a drink and a small snack.
