Miami Beach Bike Tour of History, Art Deco, Crime & Scandals

Overview

Did you know that Miami Beach is mostly man-made? And that Biscayne Bay used to be a shallow swamp? And that Muhammad Ali became world boxing champion for the first time right here in Miami Beach? Miami Beach history is riddled with enchanting stories, and I have made it my mission to bring these tales to life through extensive research, engaging storytelling and passion.

I'm excited to offer a captivating guided bike tour through Miami Beach, where we will delve into its checkered past and relive its history over time, which is truly stranger than fiction. Our bicycle journey will take us along iconic streets leading us through lobbies of exquisite Art Deco hotels, scenic parks, and historical sites. You'll gain insights into early days evolution, The Great Depression, city’s unique architecture, Black history, Jewish history, Cuban migration, notorious cocaine cowboys’ era, the influence of "Miami Vice," the infamous murder of Gianni Versace, plenty of hidden gems, and much more.

You walked the same streets as gangsters, movie stars, and dreamers. Now, you’re part of the legend too. Thanks for taking the ride!

Appreciate the kind words! I like to think of my tours as time machines—minus the flux capacitor, but with way better ocean views.

The Art Deco tour was absolutely incredible! Damian was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history and the design. His enthusiasm was inspiring. I’ve wanted to get to Miami Beach specifically for this type of tour and I was definitely not disappointed. From roaming the Betsy Hotel hallways to walking by the Art Deco buildings on Ocean drive and throughout learning about their different elements and the ongoing evolution of the neighborhoods was a wonderful learning experience. We highly recommend this tour and Damian who was so very knowledgeable and willing to answer questions.

Thanks for joining the adventure! Miami Vice had Crockett & Tubbs, but I’ll gladly settle for being your tour guide to the past.
