South Beach is one of those rare locales where every turn reveals a new visual treasure. The narrative of this glamorous resort in the sun is artfully retold as your cycling host navigates the streets and pathways of the island. Great stories abound as a century of history is woven into now-famous streets, buildings and parks. At one point we will be following a trail along the beach, at another, hearing a concise and illuminating timeline of Art Deco architecture. Through gardens and residential neighborhoods, past museums and pausing to check out a historic hotel lobby, we make South Beach “experts” out of first-time visitors and long-term residents alike. An unforgettable experience, this tour is must-see for those who enjoy a leisurely and healthy biking pace.

Full inclusions and pricing are provided on request.

Art in the Gables

In the 1920’s, one ambitious man looked at the uncontrolled sprawl of the emerging city of Miami and saw the potential to build a perfectly designed city. He imagined lush green plazas, winding, tree-lined boulevards, esplanades and huge fountains. His dream city would be filled with buildings and homes that would invoke the grandeur of Rome, the subtle beauty of the Côte d’Azur and the richness of ascendant Spain. The artists that created this city colored their dreams with a palette of terra cotta, ocher and sienna to deflect and neutralize the brilliance of the Florida sun. That dream has become the City of Coral Gables. Today, Coral Gables is teeming with history and culture and is protected against the intrusions of over-modernization.
