We did the tour because we wanted to get to know a little bit more about south beach and that's what we got.Our tourguide was a really fun an outgoing guy who told us a lot about miami beach in general and art deco (of course, that's what the tour was about). We looked at impressive buildings and were give lots of inside information! Unfortunately we were the only younger people but that moght just have been the day! The price seems a little high at first but when you took the tour and saw with your own eyes what your money does (by helping to preserve all the art deco buildings) it is worth it!!

The Art Deco Centre on Ocean Drive does a few walking tours each day for only a very reasonable price and they last about two-three hours. Our guide was very good and took us into several hotels to show the interior as well as exterior. We finished at the Wolfsonian Museum.

This tour, originating at the Miami Design Preservation League Welcome Center on Ocean Boulevard, is fantastic! My husband and I spent three days in South Beach, and this was the best part. Our tour guide, Kenn Finkel, grew up in Miami and is not only extremely knowledgeable but also very enthusiastic. The walk is less than a half mile, but it's packed with so much information that I'll never see art deco buildings without recalling what he taught me about them. The tour is fun, interesting, fanciful, and highly educational. A great value! It's scheduled for 90 minutes, but he spent two hours with us.
