This tour is a comprehensive look at Miami and its surrounding areas. It is 3-4 hrs long, and includes stops at Wynwood Walls and in Little Havana. You can also ask your guide to customize the tour if there are particular areas you are interested in.
The tour route begins in South Beach, playground of the rich and famous and home to the largest collection of Art Deco architecture in the world. We then take you through Biscayne Bay via the historic Venetian Causeway where you will experience one of the best views of downtown Miami’s skyline and some of the 32 man made islands that dot Biscayne Bay. Once on the mainland, we head to the Wynwood neighborhood, one of the fastest growing art enclaves in the U.S. Wynwood uses redesigned warehouses as enormous canvases for world renown street artists and contains over 70 galleries and restaurants that display up and coming artist’s works as well as high end private and public collections. We take a short break here and give you a guided walking tour through Wynwood Walls, a unique park containing the world’s largest outdoor collection of museum quality street murals. Next up is the historic downtown and Brickell area, continuously inhabited for over 5000 years by Native Americans, Europeans and finally Pioneers; this is where the City of Miami began over a hundred years ago. Brickell is one of the fastest growing areas of town with luxury hotels, over 300 international banks and some of the most popular restaurants and nightspots in town. We then take you somewhere no other tours go: across the Rickenbacker Causeway to Virginia Key and Key Biscayne. The Rickenbacker offers the best view of the Miami Skyline and is truly a sight to see. We then take you into Coconut Grove, one of Miami’s prettiest and most eclectic areas. The Biltmore Hotel and the City of Coral Gables is up next and it is one of the finest examples in the U.S. of the City Beautiful Movement of the 1920s. Coral Gables is a meticulously planned community with a distinctly Mediterranean Revival Style, large fountains arched entrances, and tree lined streets. The ‘Gables’ is home to the famous Biltmore Hotel, The Venetian Pool, and The University of Miami Campus. The next destination is one of Miami’s most culturally significant stops….Calle Ocho in the heart of Little Havana. Filled with music, cigar stores, Cuban restaurants and bodegas, this neighborhood is where Cuban exiles settled after fleeing the Castro regime and is considered the soul of the Cuban community. We take a short stop here at Domino Park, allowing you to sample some Cuban coffee or an authentic mojito and experience the vibrant culture of this unique Miami neighborhood. We then travel back over the MacArthur Causeway, past Star Island and Palm Island. The tour comes to a magnificent close as we pass very close to enormous cruise ships that are waiting to cast off! Experience the best of Miami with us!
