Last minute we booked a tour with Jhon the day we were leaving, and even though we needed to be to the airport by 1:40 he made every minute with him worth while and even taught this teacher many things! We spent a wonderful day learning, experiencing and discussing Miami, the surrounding communities, and the environmental gem/river known as the Everglades. Before today, we didn't know anything about the Miccosukee Tribe, but we learned how they are an integral part of the Everglades and its' rich history. We had the privilege of a 1 hour airboat ride and saw abundant wildlife, including gators, cranes, egrets, and the plant species indigenous to the Everglades. We even got to hold baby gators rescued from the area intended to be raised and then released back to the wild. Jhon's breadth and depth of knowledge of the culture, architecture, styles, art, music, food and geography revealed that he believes passionately in bringing all that the Miami experience has to offer. I would highly recommend him and this tour to anyone -We plan to use him again for another tour when we are back in town. There is SO much to learn!!
We spent a wonderful day with Jhon, learning, experiencing and discussing Miami, the surrounding communities, vibrant neighborhoods and the environmental gem known as the Everglades. Neighborhoods visited included the Holocaust Museum and Monument (sobering), South Beach, Wynwood (the art was incredible!), Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Little Havana (the food, sounds and people), Brickell, Key Biscayne and then out to the Everglades.

Jhon was an amazing guide and we absolutely loved our day with him. He is so knowledgeable and passionate about his community and we learned so much! Of course the airboat ride was super fun and Tristan was a great ambassador for his tribe and the Everglades. We had never been to the Miami area and we absolutely can’t recommend this experience enough. Jhon was fantastic and I’d recommend any of his tours or Jeep rental services.
