Originally built in the 1920s, the Venetian Islands embody a rich blend of history and modern amenities.

Not just a passage, the Venetian Causeway, with its low speed limits and pedestrian-friendly design, is an oasis for joggers, cyclists, and walkers. Despite being replaced in 1999 due to structural concerns, the new causeway maintains the original's historic design, preserving the old-world charm while ensuring safety for its users.
12.

Established in 1987, this outdoor style mall has been a staple in Miami's downtown area for decades. Designed by local architect Benjamin Thompson, the two-story open-air festival center was built to revitalize the downtown area and to act as a hub for the community. Over the years, it has successfully transformed the city's waterfront into a bustling tourist attraction. It's renowned for its unique mix of over 150 shops, restaurants, artisan vendors, and live entertainment, providing both locals and tourists a place to unwind and enjoy the splendid views of the Biscayne Bay and Miami skyline.

The seating arrangement was bad and the boat itself needs some heavy duty cleaning. The narrator was good, but not the best I’ve experienced, and why ask for a tip? Patrons pay enough for the tickets, and want to enjoy themselves without having to be asked for more money at the end of the cruise. If someone wants to tip, they will without the ask. Or, take the tip from the price of the ticket..

I can’t exactly rate the experience, because my spouse fell ill, and per the policy of no money back if not cancelled before 24 hours I have lost my money and we did not take the trip. No knock on the service, I think it would’ve been great, but things happen and I certainly don’t enjoy loosing my money.

Board the cruise from Miami’s bayside marketplace and boardwalk and see the excellent toy and billionaire homes along the coast and on star island
You can grab a drink aboard )the bartender makes a neat mojito) although this can work
Out quite steep. I paid $21 for a drink. The menu said 13 but there were add ons which they don’t tell you about till your drink is prepared. A Tiny packet of chips or doritos is $5 so you’d best carry your own snacks or pick up something from the marketplace before boarding the boat.
The guide was hilarious and spoke both in English as well as in Spanish. There’s usually a lucky draw also happening onboard. They said it isn’t, but tipping is a given.

Not worth it - don’t spend money - M/C host was decent and funny but the trip isn’t really worth it. About 5 houses and not much of anything else.
