De La Cruz and Doma were fantastic !

Miami Art Tour: Design District, Midtown and Wynwood

Shantel showed us around the Design District, and that was cool. All of the high end retailers are there. No restaurants or bars, so that was disappointing. Susanna highlighted several works in the De La Cruz gallery, and that was interesting. The security in there was a drag, and they were hard-asses about wearing a mask. The included lunch at Doma was very good.

A highlight of Miami

Design District Experience

I really enjoyed the Design District, which I believe has some of the best public art I have ever seen. When our tour ran late do to the guide becoming ill, Suzanna Baker (the award winning Tourater) was extremely accommodating. Not only did she provide us with a private history tour of Little Havana for free, but she also gave us a personal VIP tour of a private modern art collection as well as a walk through and tour of the Design District. It was a wonderful day of art and culture and a reason to go back to Miami. The highlight of our time there.

Great day

This was an excellent tour! Our guide, Luis, is very knowledgeable about the contemporary art scene in Miami as well as being smart and personable. We felt we learned a lot and finished with an excellent lunch at Doma. I highly recommend.

Exceptional!
