Step into Miami's Golden Era with a small-group walk through the most beautiful and culturally significant examples of Art Deco architecture in Miami Beach and enjoy exclusive access to the interiors of historic hotels for a much more memorable experience! Get an in-depth introduction to Miami Beach history, architecture, art, and culture within the Miami Beach Architectural & Art Deco Historic District. You will be amazed to discover the brief but intense history of a city that transformed in just 100 years from a swampy sandbar to a billion-dollar paradise, from a coconut plantation to an exclusive beach resort. This history is filled with hurricanes and mobsters, Jewish elders, Cuban refugees and drug dealers, Versace, Miami Vice, Scarface and Frank Sinatra, top models and celebrities. You'll experience the magic and discover the glamour, vice, and secrets of Miami Beach. This is the only tour in Miami with professional guides holding degrees in Hospitality and Tourism Management.
