Admission to Vizcaya Museum and Gardens with Transportation
Description
The fabulous Villa Vizcaya in Miami is a National Historic Landmark that provides a window into the elegant Miami of the early 20th century, when Vizcaya was a private estate. Built in Mediterranean Revival and Italian Renaissance styles, Vizcaya was designed to resemble a typical Italian villa and included a dairy, poultry house, mule stable, greenhouse and staff residences. Today, the house, including its expansive gardens, is a museum and major Miami attraction.

Our driver to Vizcaya and return was on time and courteous, as was the welcome we received at the admissions booth. Without Trip Advisor to guide us with information and verify daily the pickup location we were able to relax and enjoy fully our experience. The tour of the museum was enlightening and a 20-minute talk by our guide valuable for it's history in that golden era
The gardens are spectacular, but the museum itself is not worth much, they are $25 per person, admission, and the truth that much is not worth it. The place is dreamt of, but it doesn't have much historical support. It's more for a nice Instagram photo.
Beautiful home and gardens ! Great audio program detailing all he rooms and the history of the mansion and grounds . Definitely a worthwhile trip !
Good afternoon, thank you so much for the feedback H710LUsandrad. Its so wonderful to hear you had a wonderful time.
The mansion was beautiful as were the gardens. 4 hours was too long for our self guided tour. We finished in 1 1/2 hours. We left in an Uber rather than waiting another 2 1/2 hours for our pickup. If you like beautiful old mansions then go.
I love using the Viator travel app whenever I travel - even to other countries. This is the first time in many, many years that I don’t think it was worth the price. You could easily order a Lyft or Uber and buy your tickets at the gate. Then you wouldn’t feel like you need to watch the clock so much in order to be picked up on time. Keep shopping for tours on Viator, but skip out on this option.
Visit on your own. Tour is mostly paying for a private transfer. Like others who have reviewed this tour, we had to call multiple times to get actual tickets. They repeatedly send a voucher which is not accepted at Vizcaya Museum. The Mansion and Museum are beautiful but we would have liked to leave sooner than our return transfer could show up. Uber and buy your own tickets
Vizcaya is a fantastic place and I highly recomend to go there iif you visit Miami. But I think the tour progtam cost is little bit high considering entrance fee and tranportation.
Viator never sent me an email with our tickets. We were denied admission after paying over $266 and it took Viator over 30 minutes to resolve the issue. Everyone was in a bad mood. We stood in the hot sun with a toddler for over a half an hour.
We love very comfortable ride to and from the Vizcaya We have enjoyed strolling though the intricate passages of the opulent gardens, paired with the exploring of the sophisticated interiors of the villa. It was a Truly great Day♥️
Pick up at hotel was early and late after our visit but communications was excellent. Interesting house beautiful gardens
