The Art Deco Walking tour was led by very knowledgeable guide Kenn, who is a native of the area. Kenn brought the history of South Beach to life through the architecture and the people who inhabited the living works of art. We learned about South Beach's glamorous start, military role, at times seedy and then modern resurgence. This was no boring history tour. I plan on taking the tour again with my parents. I'm sure they will love it. Kenn also mentioned that each volunteer tour guide give their own version of the tour, so I'm sure I won't be bored the second time around. I would recommend this tour to tourist and locals.

This is a great way to do something a little different in South Beach, Miami. Our guide was very knowledgable about the art deco architecture and had arranged for us to see a good variety of buildings. We did this tour on a hot Miami morning and our guide really looked after us by keeping us in the shade and stopping inside many of the deco building's lobbies etc. If you're an architecture fan (or even if you're not), then this is a great way to fill in a morning before hitting the beach/pool.

Our tou guides was very knowledgeable not only about the characteristics of Art Deco but of the history of the buildings on the tour. The guides, all volunteers, do it for their love and interest in the Art Deco District and Miami Beach in general
