“A great introduction to the Art Deco style of South Beach. Tour guide Damian is superb. He is an artist himself and a member of the local preservation society. You will leave better understanding the significance of the design elements of the art deco style. Damian also is very knowledgeable about culture and history. He also prepares a pocket sized map guide to key attractions in the area. It was very hot when we did the tour but the guide was considerate to bring us indoors and also provide cold water. I left with a greater appreciation for preservation.”

He is a delightful guide and host and very considerate of 3 seniors who aren't that mobile. We felt like we had a comprehensive tour of Miami, and would highly recommend this superlative tour. Worth every penny--without a doubt. Book it!”
