Florida holidays
Jump to:
Florida is white-sand beaches, turquoise waters and heavyweight theme parks, but there’s more to the Sunshine State than just the photogenic scenes that get printed on postcards. Our USA specialists know the state from the rural north to palm-fringed Key West, and they can direct you to the quiet corners that still exist along the Gulf Coast. They can also arrange a tour of the historic Art Deco sites in Miami, and help you explore the tiny, quirky, tropical Florida Keys, which stretch out in a gentle arc into the Gulf of Mexico.
We can show you a side of Florida you probably haven’t seen, even if you’ve been there before. We know where to get the best Cuban sandwich in Miami, as well as the laid-back, out-of-the-way communities where you can still laze away an afternoon hunting for sand dollars on quiet beaches. If you want something unusual, we can arrange for you to have lunch with an astronaut in Cape Canaveral, go swimming with manatees in Crystal River, or take a seaplane out to Dry Tortugas National Park. We can also help you make the most of your time in Orlando’s theme parks.
