Art deco dreams

Mary_M, Mar 2026

Paula was intelligent, knowledgeable and very pleasant. She shared her knowledge about the art deco/south beach history with us. We were kept busy the whole two hours. Great tour!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you Mary for the kind review! It was a pleasure having you and your friends accompany us on the tour. Hope you had a fantastic time in SB!

Great tour

Stanley_P, Feb 2026

Excellent tour. The tour guide knew her stuff. When we asked questions about what was original in a hotel, she pointed out what was original and what was a reproduction. We not always saw the exterior of many art deco hotels but we saw some incredible interior ones as well. The fact that our tour was only for four people made it extra good.

Amazing

Laura_U, Oct 2025

I did my your with Howard B and it was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and made the tour engaging. I learned a few things about Art Deco and Miami Beach, which made the rest of the days more meaningful. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn and understand the history of the city.

This was a Great Tour

Jim_K, Mar 2025

This was a small tour group, 3 of us plus the tour guide Paolo. It was great. Paolo really knows her history and made the tour really fun. It was great being part of a smaller tour. We passed one of the other tours that had about 30 people. The small group was much better and provided more personalized information.

A fun and beautiful tour!

Vanessa_K, Feb 2025

I very much enjoyed the Art Deco tour of Miami Beach. The guide, Paola, was great. Very knowledgeable and I could tell she truly cared about the historic preservation of the city. This was a lovely way to spend a morning and learn about the architecture of the city. Paola showed us details on the buildings that I wouldn’t have otherwise noticed. Definitely recommend for architecture and history buffs!
