I am writing this for a friend of mine who just had a private tour of Miami with Stella Ross. My friend was beyond pleased with Stella’s full service and all-encompassing tour. Stella provided him and three others in his group with not only door to door service, but a knowledgeable, creative and guided tour of Miami. Now saying door-to-door may not sound like anything special, but Stella went above and beyond by picking up the entire group in Fort Lauderdale and transporting everyone to Miami. On the way, much history of the area was incorporated along with interesting facts to spice up the ride. A special audio system in her vehicle allowed for all four tour passengers to be able to hear Stella as she provided this informational tour while safely driving. My friend had true world travelers with him on this tour with Stella. Yet while world travelers, his guests had never toured Miami before, and were thoroughly impressed. She not only created a personalized itinerary but also provided it in advance to get all excited about this experience. Stella thought of everything. And with Miami being very, very sunny on the day of the tour, Stella brought enough umbrellas for those to use as protection from the sun and heat, during the walking portion of the tour in Miami. Stella booked everything in advance and had reservations for all of the stops along the way, making everything enjoyable and worry-free. He continued that this was “Not just your average guided tour,” but was above and beyond! When asked, “How good was this tour on a five-star rating scale?” “If I could give it more than five stars, I would!” was his reply! Our experience with Stella Ross was spectacular!

We booked a tour in Miami with Stella, and then took another tour in a different city a couple of days later with a different company, expecting the experiences to be fairly similar. They were not even close.Stella was truly phenomenal, and I cannot say enough good things about our experience with her.From the moment our tour began, Stella made the day feel personal, thoughtful, and genuine. She shared so many interesting facts, but what made everything even more special was how she brought the history to life through her own stories and experiences. She even showed us personal photos that added so much depth to what she was sharing, including worn black and white pictures of herself as a child at the home where she grew up on Millionaire’s Row, the skyline then and now. memories of nightlife with friends, and personal insight about well known people she had encountered throughout her life.By the end of the day, it felt like we had known Stella for years. She made us feel more like old friends than customers. She truly immersed herself in our experience and customized the day around what she knew we would enjoy most. She gave us options, explained each one, and shared why she thought certain stops would be a good fit for our group. It never felt scripted or generic. It felt like a day designed just for us.What stood out even more was how kind and flexible she was when we needed help finding a special part for a sleep apnea machine. She adapted without hesitation and helped us in a way that went far beyond what anyone would normally expect from a tour guide.That level of care became even more obvious when we compared her tour to another one we took shortly after. The other company claimed the tour would be customized, but it felt gimmicky and far less personal. We were mostly taken to places the guide wanted to show us, rather than places our group had actually expressed interest in seeing.Stella made such a lasting impression that even now, almost six months later, I was recently telling friends about our trip and realized how many details and memorable stories from her tour I still remember. From the other tour, I can only recall a couple of things.She is, without question, the best. If you book with Stella, you will not be disappointed.

Stella was a wonderful guide for what could have been a very tough day. Our group included an autistic teen and pre-teen with vastly different needs. We ended up spending significant time at a McDonald's. Our group's interests were varied; some were curious about history, while others were only interested in the wildlife. Stella handled it all with poise. We spent a second day with her doing an Everglades tour that was also excellent.Stella was incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and adaptable; She moved seamlessly between historical storytelling and nature, all while managing the group's sensory needs with grace. Highly recommend her for any family with diverse needs!

We had a 5 hour tour with Stella, starting with Star Island which is not normally accessible by tourists. We went through the design area of Miami and the Wynwood district with mural graffiti art on every building. Quite fascinating. Also did sights on Miami Beach, coconut grove and coral gables. One highlight was the Biltmore hotel, built in the 1920s, now restored and owned by the city of coral gables. Also found out the city derives its name from the founder George Merricks gabled house. Also found out Miami was founded by 2 women , Mary Brickell and Julia Tuttle. Stella was very knowledgeable of history of area and personal insight of the area. Our tour was educational and entertaining. We even went by the hotel referenced in a book called hotel Scarface which has a rocky and notorious history but now quite respectable.

We had our tour with Stella today. I am not even sure where to start: from the beginning to the end Stella gave us an exceptional tour of Miami, south beach, University of Miami, little Havana, midtown, Vizcaya. Her professionalism and personal touch and deep knowledge of history of every area in Miami was amazing. If I can give her more than 5 stars I would. I would highly recommend Stella to anyone who is looking for an excellent tour guide. Thank you so much, Stella!

Stella was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! She picked up our family of five right after our cruise ship ported in Miami and took us on an amazing Everglades day tour. She was prompt, incredibly knowledgeable, and made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Stella shared so much interesting information and was genuinely a pleasure to spend the day with—friendly, professional, and engaging. This tour was a highlight of our trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend Stella to anyone looking for a memorable Everglades experience! She finished off our day by delivering us to our hotel! Highly recommend.
