Morning light off Biscayne Bay sets the scene: the group assembles in front of the Pérez Art Museum Miami, palms moving in a warm breeze, the city humming beyond the promenade. This private two-hour walking tour threads through downtown’s waterfront pockets — Bayfront Park’s open lawn, the lively stalls of Bayside Marketplace, the reflective façade of the Freedom Tower, and the chic streets of Mary Brickell Village.
