Excellent tour this morning with Howard. Clearly passionate and knowledgeable about his subject. This was our 2nd time of taking this tour - we felt we learned an awful lot more from Howard, including history of the area as well as the architecture. Highly recommended. The tour gives you a far greater appreciation of where you are and what is around you. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

Highly recommend this insightful Art Deco walking tour if visiting Miami! Miami is home to the world's most Art Deco historical buildings, and for this reason alone, I would highly recommend taking the 2-hour morning tour to learn about the history, culture, architecture and society of South Beach and Miami. Our tour guide, John, was friendly, fun, knowledgable, patient, and very informative. He was engaging with the entire group, quizzing us on our knowledge and answering all of our questions. My partner and I, really enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot as she recently moved to Miami and wanted to learn more about the city. It was definitely one of our top highlights of our visit to Miami. John, our tour guide, even surprised us with taking us to some best kept secret Art Deco locations for great photo opps and opportunities to explore some of the buildings within. Thank you to John, the Official Art Deco Walking Tour, and the Preservation League for such a fantastic experience!

As an interior designer I wanted a tour that touched the architectural history and preservation of Miami Beach and South Beach. Our tour guide lived in the neighborhood and was superb. She gave us a wealth of information with food, cultural events and the vibe of life here. Thank you for your dedication to preserving this treasure. We had a fabulous time.
