About this tour

Step into Miami's Golden Era with this intimate small-group walk through the most beautiful & culturally significant examples of Art Deco architecture in Miami Beach and enjoy exclusive access to the interiors of historic hotels and other landmark gems where large groups are not allowed for a much more memorable experience! Get an in-depth introduction to Miami Beach history, architecture, art, and culture within the Miami Beach Art Deco Historic District. You'll be amazed to discover the brief but intense history of a city that transformed in 100 years from a swampy sandbar to a billion-dollar paradise, from a coconut plantation to an exclusive beach resort. This history is filled with hurricanes and mobsters, Jewish elders, Cuban refugees and drug dealers, Versace, Miami Vice, Scarface, and celebrities. You'll experience the magic and discover the glamour, vice, and secrets hidden in plain sight. Private & Spanish language tours available; inquire directly at Sobeach Tours website.
