Miami Travel Agent Expert

Miami is a dynamic city that continues to evolve, embracing its diverse heritage while looking towards the future. With its vibrant culture, thriving economy, and stunning natural beauty, Miami remains a captivating destination for visitors and residents alike.


Miami is a vibrant city with a tropical climate. The best time to visit for the best weather is between December and April, but expect crowds and higher prices. May to September offers the lowest prices, but it's also the rainy season and hurricane season. Avoid mid-August to late October due to the peak of hurricane season and extreme weather conditions.

Miami Beach: Famous for its beaches, Art Deco architecture, and vibrant nightlife (South Beach, Mid Beach, North Beach offer varying vibes).

Another fabulous trip!
Rey has booked several domestic and international trips for me over the years. Each time the experience was fantastic. Rey is not only a knowledgeable and experienced travel agent, he is patient with groups and always provides stellar customer service. The resorts are always fabulous and his recommendations on what to do when we arrive at our destinations make my vacations more enjoyable. I’ve counted on Rey to book fabulous vacations for over 10 years and he always delivers the best. I’ve always enjoyed the individual attention and care Rey provides his clients. He understands the apprehension that comes along with trying new places and is thorough and accommodating as a result. He’s also great at making suggestions on future vacations and I’ve never been disappointed when I follow his suggestions. Rey will remain my travel confidante for many years to come. He’s the best, hands down!

We have worked with Rey for many years and have always enjoyed the experience. Most of our travel has been river cruises in Europe but last year we did a trip to South Africa. Rey is very thoughtful, thorough and responsive.

Rey and the Almeda Travel family have been so good to my family in assisting us in all of our travel needs/goals from beginning to return. Rey has shown nothing but the utmost professionalism, patience,guidance, and quality service that is so difficult to find these days. We have trusted Almeda Travel for the last 5-6 years for our vacations and will continue to do so, I also strongly recommend if you’re looking for an agent/team that is knowledgeable and consumer responsive go with Almeda Travel!
