As a South Beach local, I cannot recommend this walking tour highly enough. Our tour guide, Charles, was friendly, extremely knowledgeable about Ocean Drive/South Beach history, and skilled at guiding us to shady spots and air conditioned hotel lobbies on a hot Miami summer's day! The tour gives you an overview of South Beach art deco history, from the '30s to today. The Miami Design Preservation League does a fantastic job of preserving the area's history, which all too often goes forgotten. Definitely make this tour one of your stops during your stay in South Beach or Miami proper.

South Beach Miami is famous for its art deco buildings and elegant ambiance and should not be missed. Take the tour with the SoBe Art Deco society and help conserve a valuable part of South Florida's history. It is great fun and you pick up a lot of useful tips on cafes, bars, hotels and attractions to visit in the area. Cooling off at The National or the Delano hotels for a half way break is inspiring and welcome and shows how well America is able to preserve its legacy when motivated.

I took the Thursday night tour and it was great. It started with the history of MDPL and the Art Deco District... sooo interesting. The rest of the tour was jam packed with great information about the hotels and history of Miami Beach. Loved it!
