It was a fun, informative and exhilarating tour of Miami Beach from South Point Park to Bal Harbor. Along the way, we took several stops where Damian shared his knowledge of the history, neighborhoods and celebrity homes. We found the Ivanka Trump's condo along the way and met some interesting people.
