Informal walk along Ocean Drive to South Beach. The tour Guide Damian was absolutely wonderful. This was my favorite tour of Miami area. He was very accommodating and easy going offering recommendations.. He provided pictures to back up his storyline. We seen Ocean Drive businesses, restaurants, South Beach clock, Lummus Park and South Beach. Discussions on the advancing shoreline, South Beach history through time, Art Deco district, movie sets filmed here, Giovanni Versace's last day and Mansion and his murder by Andrew Cunanan. Beverage stop included. Other celebrities discussed include Jackie Gleason, Mohammed Ali and baseball pitcher Jose Fernandez death and scenes of Scarface the movie were pointed out. Damian was very accommodating and sensing I was particularly interested in Versace and Cunanan, went above and beyond to show me the areas of the crime scenes and discussions of Cunanan's movements. Highly recommend this laid-back tour, no rush, not physically strenous. Gives you a feel of how South Beach evolved with particular emphasis on celebrities, crime and ecological cultural and economic changes.

Thank you Gare for your kind words and was happy to see that we shared passion for Versace crime story. Also, I took into consideration your recommendations on how to better the experience by extending the walk to South Pointe Park, and including the story of Jackie Gleason connection to Miami Beach. Best wishes from the heart of South Beach!
