Description:
We booked our Miami highlights tour at the Excursions Desk as soon as it opened after sailing. The cost was $32 per adult and it was a 2 1/2 hour tour.
After departing through security we headed to the bus area. The drivers were checking to make sure you had a ticket to their particular tour, be careful there are a lot of buses and lots of different tours.
The buses are new and comfortable and air-conditioned. Our tour guide was Linda and our driver was Otem. Tips are welcomed and encouraged.
We started by learning that Miami is the busiest cruise port in the world with over 1.8 million people getting on cruises here. That means that cruises like ours don't even count in that figure.
Miami has 300 days a year of sunshine and this particular Sunday was no exception. Henry Flagler who has been so instrumental in developing other areas of Florida was also the man who brought the railroad to Miami .
One of the first buildings we see is the Gold Miami News Building which is called the "Freedom Tower" , the Ellis Island of the South.
Driving through South Beach was a study in Art Deco, one beautiful building after the other. These days one of the most popular tourist attractions in South Beach is Gianni Vercase House and the spot on his doorstep where he was murdered.
Our tour took us through Key Biscayne where President Richard Nixon had his winter white house. We drove by Viscaya the former home of the Dearing family who owned World Harvester.
There was one pit stop on the tour in Coconut Grove. We had about 15 minutes to find a rest room, visit a coffee or ice cream shop or just to look around.
The tour makes one more stop on the way back to the ship at Bayside Mall. You can choose to get off and then to get one of the shuttle buses to take you back to the ship.
Since we have never been to Miami I found this the best possible way to get to see the city in only two hours.
