My wife and I did Paola's tour of the Art Deco buildings in South Beach. It was amazing. She was very knowledgeable not just of the architecture but also the history of Miami Beach. It was very fascinating. She was prompt, friendly, charming, and professional. We would highly recommend it.

Relax828388

The tour was excellent! Our tour guide, Paola explained the histories of the buildings and the development of the area so well! We saw beautiful architecture and learned of the interesting stories behind them.

Fantastic tour, lots of interesting infos and a great way to enjoy South Beach from another perspective. Would definitely recommend!

rjgarnold

Paola was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and didn't stop for 2.5 hours! She didn't need any notes. I will never look at Art Deco buildings again the same! My friend and I went together and she was also very impressed. I live in Miami Beach and saw some sights (top of the Palace Hotel, for example) I would have never seen without Paola's guidance. Plus, we happened to get the VIP treatment because it was only the two of us. The small sizes she promised was what swayed me for this particular art deco tour, as there are quite a few others advertized. Would highly recommend this tour with Paola.

This was an excellent tour. Paola was very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting. She also gave us tips on where to eat, where to stay next time. She also has a great sense of humor with lots of stories about the area. We highly recommend her services.

Deejdunn

This was such an interesting tour and Paola was an excellent guide. She showed us places inside the Art Deco hotels that we could not have found on our own. The tour is a nice mix of history, architecture and how Hollywood has had an impact on Miami Beach’s resurgence. We highly recommend Paola and the tour!

LGhilarducci

Paola gave us a fun and fact-filled tour of the art deco highlights, including a history of the area and recommendations for eateries and bars. She has a great sense of humor and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Miami.

Very interesting and enjoyable tour. The hotels in South beach have more history than I imagined. Fun to hear about the Art Deco buildings and all the happenings of long ago. Paola our guide was very good and shared quite a bit of interesting information. Had a fun morning in South Beach on this tour.
