Tours begin at 10:30AM from the Vagabond Motel, 7301 Biscayne Boulevard. It lasts approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes and covers about a mile on foot.

This tour ends under the 60 year old Poinciana that Mrs. Vivian Laramore Rader, Florida's Poet Laureate (1931-1975) planted across the street from her home on Dixie Highway.
