The Experience

The tour starts in Miami Beach and moves through Espanola Way, where the signature architecture and cultural influence of the neighborhood come into focus. From there you ride to the Miami Beach Botanical Garden, founded in 1962, which features water features and plantings that break up the urban landscape. The route then takes you to the Holocaust Memorial, designed by Kenneth Treister and opened in 1990, before heading down the bike path toward South Pointe Pier and the beaches themselves.

South Beach is where the Art Deco buildings dominate—pastel-colored hotels dating back to the early 1900s line Ocean Drive, and the tour includes a stop at the Versace Mansion to learn how the designer's influence reshaped the neighborhood's identity. You'll have time to take photos with the buildings and absorb the visual character that makes this stretch of Miami recognizable. The pace is leisurely, designed so you can actually see and absorb what you're riding past instead of just covering ground.

Since this is a private tour, you're not locked into a fixed itinerary. If there's a specific building, street or piece of Miami history you want to explore, you can ask the guide to work it in. The two-hour window gives you enough time to move through the main stops without feeling rushed, and the bike path along the water is flat and accessible for most riders.
