Miami Contrasts Tour

Miami Contrasts Tour

Having picked you up at the meeting point, our walking tour around the Miami neighbourhoods begins, climbing on board our air-conditioned minibus and heading to South Beach. On this first tour, we'll pass alongside Star Island: an artificial islet, whose exclusive mansions have been homes to celebrities such as Enrique Iglesias, Sylvester Stallone, Ricky Martin, Madonna, or Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

The tour will continue around the Art Deco district, whose buildings, built from the 1930s onwards, display an unusual architectural style which aimed to cheer up the population in the turbulent years following the 1929 Wall St. Crash. The contrast of styles between the Downtown area and Financial District which we visit next is striking, as here the pastel tones and soft forms of Art Deco are replaced by gigantic skyscrapers of steel and glass. 

Our route then continues alongside the Church of Our Lady of Charity, consecrated in honour of the patron saint of Cuba. Here we'll make our first stop, enjoying a delicious Cuban coffee and with free time to wander the banks of Biscayne Bay.

The church can be found in Coconut Grove, the most populated Afro-Caribbean neighbourhood in Miami, notable for the joyous colour permeating its streets. And from here we'll make our way to Coral Gable, to see its famous Venetian swimming pool, before making a stop in Domino Park, a popular meeting place for the Cuban immigrants who live in the Little Habana neighbourhood.

Finally, before returning to the initial start point, we make one final stop in Wynwood Walls, a space which Miami's urban artists have moulded with various graffiti murals. 

Then after a tour of approximately four hours, we'll end in the same place we picked you up.
