About this experience
Big Miami is a mix of business centers, multinational communities, lush vegetation, and vivid colors. Here, neighborhoods differ from each other more than some states. I have been living in Miami for over 10 years and will show you the city as I know it - lively and cheerful, influential and informal. I will introduce you to the world of cinema, culture, and local life.
What to Expect
More than Just a Resort
Good weather all year round, the ocean, plenty of shopping options, and sports activities. What else? The city is known as the 'American Casablanca' - its history and appearance transport to Latin America. On the other hand, many residents moved here from New York. Hence the numerous samples of street art, graffiti, and murals. I will show you the neighborhoods and iconic places of the city that will unveil Miami from different angles - as the center of tourism, creative business, and art culture.
Getting to Know the Southern Capital
- Miami Beach. Our journey will begin here. We will drive along the main street of the city, where over a dozen well-known movies and TV shows were filmed - 'Scarface,' 'Miami Vice,' 'Dexter,' 'American Crime Story.' We will see the villa where the famous designer Gianni Versace was killed on the steps. At the southernmost point of Miami Beach, we will stop and admire the views of one of the most secluded and exclusive islands in the USA.
- Downtown. Across Biscayne Bay awaits the Port of Miami and the 'Island of Celebrities.' You will learn why the city has rapidly grown in height in recent years and where to find the creations of star architects like Zaha Hadid and Carlos Ott, as well as the firms Herzog & de Meuron.
- Little Havana. Today it is impossible to imagine Miami without the influence of Cuban immigration, which made it the most Latin American city in the USA. During a walk along the main street of the district, I will treat you to coffee and tell you how the Cubans live here and how they ended up on foreign shores.
- Wynwood. The most creative place in the city, experiencing a transformation from an abandoned area into the main creative hub. We will examine studios, galleries, signature restaurants, and walls with murals and graffiti that will make you want to take pictures against their background.
- Design District. A district where you will immerse yourself in the world of high fashion, magnificent architecture, and design. Here you can linger to wander the streets, take more photos, or go shopping or dine. If not, we will simply return to the hotel.
