Great tour guide, knowledgeable, organised, able to deal with a large group. We learnt so much about the architecture and history of Miami Beach and went off with enough information for an architectural walk by ourselves. Julie was unstinting in her ability to aks questions and the tour - billed as 1.5 hours was actually 2.5 hours - all fascinating. Really worth the $30.

This is a great tour. Our tour guide, Hoji, was very knowledgeable, pleasant and he knew how to explain things. He put art deco in perspective for me. The tour was not just giving information - but making us understand the concepts and features. Now when I look at a building, I am able to identify the art deco features. I felt I got a lot out of the tour and it was worth my time. If you have 2 hours and want to learn more about the architecture and history of South Beach - take this tour.

I will start by saying that our guide Ariel was very nice and knowledgeable. However this is not really a food tour and definitely NOT for a vegetarian or pescatarian. First, let me say I enjoy history but my hubby not so much which is why I did not book this company's cultural and food tour for Little Havana. The history portion last at least 45 minutes before our first food stop. Our 3rd and 4th stops were local shops to purchase items with a 10% discount and we wanted to support during these unprecedented times so we purchased a few items. But again this is supposed to be a food tour so I think these could have been left off for the cultural tour. During the "lunch" portion as a pesco I was served yuca fries (everyone else had Cuban sandwiches) the main entrée I was to share rice n' beans with tostones (everyone else had Ropa Viejas/shredded beef dish). I felt that was a rip off for the price I paid, next time just tell me you can't accommodate my diet. I would not recommend this for somebody who's looking for a food tour or with dietary restrictions. This was more of a historical walking tour with food tidbits of Little Havana, and should be advertised as such.

We were wowed by our guide, Janinha Piazzetta whose friendly energy and spirit mirrored the colorful neons of the Deco district. Her knowledge of the history of Miami and the Art Deco movement was inspiring, and we learned quite a bit about the art and architecture as the tour weaved inside and out of the beautiful buildings. Our sincere thanks. Highly recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Art Deco walking tour. Janinha Piazzetta was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. I learnt a lot of interesting facts about the area that I would’ve missed out on otherwise, highly recommend this tour if you’re interested in Art Deco.

We had a fantastic time with Janinha learning about the art deco history of the area. The pace of the tour was just perfect with adequately spaced stops for cocktails.
Janinha was happy to answer questions and was also interested in us and information about where we were from.

South Beach Art Deco Tour is a MUST while visiting South Beach. It is so much more than just learning about architecture. James is a wonderful and engaging guide that tells the history of South Beach and how its history influenced the architecture over the years. Prior to walking around, he gives tips on how to spot this style of design, discusses characteristics and fun facts of historic events and people that influenced changes over the years. He is very passionate and with his entertaining stories, keeps you yearning to learn more. Our family of three thoroughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it!

James was a fun tour guide. We particularly liked the introduction giving us the historical side of South Beach Miami. It’s always good to get the background when it’s a first visit.
James helped make sure the group came together. He has a great sense of humour & had us all laughing while sharing his knowledge of the history of art deco in the area.

Hello, parking locations are provided in your confirmation email when you reserve. Best to book directly with us online at our website to get complete details instead of booking with third parties like Viator. Thank you for asking.

Where do you pick up the Art Deco tours. Is there a web sit?
Thanks
Written October 27, 2017
Hello! Thank you for your question. We have different starting points depending on the day of week and time. All the information is automatically provided in the confirmation once you reserve. But they all begin in the heart of the Art Deco District on South Beach around 10th street close to the beach. Zip code 33139. Yes the website link is on this page. Just click the link that says "website". Trip Advisor does not allow us to include web links here on these responses. We recommend booking directly with us on our site for best rates and other perks. Thank you and we look forward to hosting your tour!

If taking the tour and then spending a few extra hours walking around, where would be a good place to park?
Written May 11, 2016
We actually took the city bus over because we heard parking was a nightmare. When we got there we could see that it was really bad. There didn't seem to be any parking and there were traffic jams on pretty well every street.

We will be travelling from Orlando to south beach this fri. Which tour time would you recommend to give us time to check in etc and find your tour? Do we need to buy our tickets in advance?
Written January 27, 2016
yep definitely book in advance. the guide needs to know if a tour is taking place and how many people participate - we even had a tour for ourselves.
parking in miami beach is "ok" if you know where to go, but the traffic was extremely heavy in our case. so you may want to add a +30min safety margin to what your navigation system tells you just for getting to Miami Beach from downtown Miami.
The art deco walking tour was fantastic, if your tour guide is called "James" be sure to ask him about the Miami Beach Star!

Hi- is the majority of the tour route wheelchair accessible? how long is the art deco tour? does it depart at 10am or 10:30 am? Thank you!
Written April 4, 2015
I agree with the others - lots of walking, crossing roads, climbing stairs and cramming into old small elevators.
You might be able to go on your own - fairly self explanatory or contact tour company for a custom tour tailored to your specific needs.
Hope it works for you.

Hi I would like to do both the 1pm private Art Deco walk and the 10am little Havana walk but t they overlap by half an hour ... Is there any way I cam overcome this . We are only in the port of Miami for the day. Thanks
Written March 4, 2015
Hello Michele, You can take the regular scheduled Art Deco Walking tour at 5pm or a private tour (for higher price) at 3:30pm so as not to overlap the tours. Please visit our website by clicking on the website link in Trip Advisor listing or call our office at 305-814-4058. Thank you~~ Christine
