Hidden Gem Tours is a female-founded private food tour service run by Samantha, a Miami resident on a mission to expose the hidden gems that often get lost in big cities. Magic City is the first to launch and we’re so excited to show both tourists and locals all the 305 has to offer. Together, we’ll explore obscure neighborhoods and their local music, art, fashion, and more. And it all starts in the kitchen.

Our founder has over a decade of experience producing content and events specialized in hospitality. Her work has taken her to almost every continent (Antarctica, we see you), uncovering the world’s best Taiwanese dumplings, Argentinian empanadas, and Italian truffles. After a 4-year crash course in the Miami lifestyle, she discovered that both visitors and locals are growing tired of the glitz and glam and craving authentic food culture, but don’t know where to find it or that it even exists. So she took matters into her own hands, launching some of the first ever cultural food tours in undiscovered neighborhoods like Little Haiti and Little River.

Participants will share a unique and memorable experience, while supporting the local businesses that make this city so special.
