Our Gurus
Earlier this year we started interviewing Miami Gurus, local experts who have carved out a niche in their area of expertise and are contributing to Miami’s growth as a truly multi-cultural global city.
We are always on the look-out for talented professionals and ask them to tell us their story. We talk to them about the city, their dreams of coming here, and we get to know where they hang out, eat, shop, party, and play. We personally check out all the recommended places first, so you know that all City Life GuruTips ™ are worth your time and wallet. No algorithms, no fake reviews.
Meet the Gurus.
