Our experience on the Art Deco and cocktail tour in South Beach, Miami, was nothing short of exceptional. Jennifer, our guide, was truly a standout—an embodiment of expertise and charisma. Her extensive knowledge of the Art Deco architecture and the vibrant history of the area was matched only by her engaging personality and delightful sense of humor. She effortlessly created an atmosphere that was both professional and warm, making us feel at ease throughout the tour. Each stop was meticulously curated, showcasing the finest examples of Art Deco design while also introducing us to the local cocktail scene. Please ask for the greenest and most refined Mojito in South Beach Miami! This thoughtfully designed itinerary enriched our understanding and appreciation of South Beach’s unique cultural tapestry. We could not have asked for a more enriching and enjoyable experience and will be back for another tour. What a delightful experience!

The Wolfsonian museum was an interesting meeting location, we went back later on our own to check out the exhibits. Our tour guide Jennifer knew her stuff and gave us a wonderful introduction to the background and creation of today's Miami Beach. She was full of good local tips, lively, and mindful of her audience. Highly recommend.
