An excellent tour - very informative and pleasant. - We really enjoyed this tour. Franzi was very well informed and pointed out (and explained) so many things we would have otherwise simply never noticed. Also, our safety as a group was important and we were safely conducted across the road at junctions etc. Highly recommended!

Rich history and architecture - We absolutely loved our tour, our guide Julie was amazing, she was both knowledgeable and passionate about the city’s old and recent history. The museum also offers a very nice basis to understand the city’s development over time, we also bought a souvenir in their gift shop which has some very nice prints. We highly recommend the tour!

A MUST-DO experience in... - A MUST-DO experience in Miami, if you are interested in art deco architecture/design. An easy albeit hot 2 hour 'walk into time' guided by Damien who showed a lot of passion and interest on the subject. His enthusiasm and engaging style made the tour not only very informative but entertaining as well.

A nice way to spend a morning! - We are comfortable shoes, you're on your feet the whole time. Also wear a hat, if it's sunny out, you'll get lots of sun exposure. Other than that, the tour was great! Lots of good history and explanation of how the art deco movement came into existence. Paola was great!

Not to be missed - Missy popped off. Captivating, insightful and nuanced. The whole enchilada. Don’t miss this for the world. You didn’t really come to Miami Beach if you didn’t mob with Missy.

AJ in South Beach - What a tour! Very informative and a lot of fun. Our Guide was very knowledgeable and provide a chronological history about the South Beach architectural past and present. It took one and a half hour to complete the tour; however, everybody was very involved. As a bonus, the ticket included the admission to the South Beach Museum.
