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 wonderful Art Deco tour in South Beach

Paula was amazing! Such great information with a brilliant sense of humor to keep you engaged! 2.5 hrs just flew by. We just loved the tour and visited a bunch of the sites post tour. Fantastic trip, thank you!
A fun and beautiful tour!

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!
