    Excellent Art Deco Tour

    Roger_W, Mar 2026
    We really enjoyed this tour through the art deco area. Our guide, Paola, was fantastic, providing insight into the architecture, restaurant scene in the area and the history. Well-paced walk. Highly recommend.

    Outstanding

    Kristin_S, Feb 2026
    Paola gave an outstanding and very interesting tour. It was fun to learn about the colorful history behind the historic art deco buildings along ocean drive. We had a small group and were able to pop into to a few lobbies also. When I met up with friends later they were equally interested and impressed with my new knowledge! Great way to spend a morning. Highly recommend.

    My husband and I were going in without high expectations: we took similar tours before and they were simply OK. Paula made it very different. She was knowledgeable, but yet not dry. Her sense of humour added extra “shine” to the presentation. Overall we were very pleased with the tour. We went in with the impression of Miami Beach being just a “party central” and, thanks to Paula, gained a new found appreciation of Miami Beach history and culture. Highly recommend.

    Book this tour!!

    A perfect south beach introduction and great time

    Randy_M, Apr 2025
    Such a fun tour! Paula was lovely, had great stories and history to share, knew a lot about South Beach’s amazing architecture. Equally great, she showed us hidden gems to make our time in south beach the best and recommended restaurants, activities and shows we might like. It was the perfect introduction to South Beach. Highly recommend!

    Art Deco, pop culture and history at its best

    Nicole_C, Feb 2025
    We ended up doing the Art Deco tour and it was fantastic ! Paola gave us an amazing lesson in the history of Miami Beach and the beauty of the Art Deco district. She shows hidden gems and how fashion, tv, movies and music helped to transform this area into what this beautiful city is today. We left with a true appreciation of the Art Deco style. Thank you Paola for such a fun morning! We left feeling like we have a new friend in Miami Beach. See you at Club Deuce!

    Great walking tour!
