What you will visit:
Miami (driving tour)
Miami, the cruise capital of the world, is an eclectic mix of identities representing its colorful history. This former Spanish settlement was once accessible only by boat but has grown to become one of South Florida's premier vacation destinations. Cross Biscayne Bay, the largest estuary on the coast of southeast Florida, to this modern, and star-studded metropolis. From "Millionaires Row" to a host of cultural treasures-including its Art Deco District, graceful Coral Gables, the bohemian Coconut Grove, and the streets of Little Havana alive with Cuban flavor-each district showcases a vibrant community that makes the mosaic of Miami's heritage.
South Beach Art Deco District (pedestrian tour)
An architectural delight featuring more than 800 art deco style buildings within one square mile, most built between 1923 and 1943, South Beach's Art Deco District reflects the history of the architectural movement that developed between the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression of the Thirties. It is marked by geometric lines and patterns, dynamic colors, and streamlined and sophisticated aerodynamic shapes created with glass and metal in a modern construction. Best appreciated on up-close, the Art Deco District has been beautifully restored to its original glamor.
What you will see along the way:
As you enter the heart of the city, you will see the Miami Arena, home of the Miami Heat, and Bayside Marketplace, overlooking Biscayne Bay. Follow the route of the Orange Bowl Parade to Miami's financial and commercial district and into Coconut Grove. Continue west to peaceful Coral Gables, an exclusive community developed in the 1920s. Travel to "Little Havana" and across the Causeway to South Beach, where you'll engage in up-close views of its Art Deco District.
Photo Opportunities:
From the route of the Orange Bowl Parade and the ever-changing imagery of Coral Gables, a tony enclave of wide boulevards lined with towering banyan trees, to the heritage steeped colorful murals of Little Havana and the charms of Coconut Grove, you'll want to have your camera at the ready throughout this tour to capture the numerous picture-perfect sights.
