This tour was amazing. Julie our highly enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide explained history of this vibrant neighborhood. Not only architecture but also stories and many little details that she pointed out. 2 hours went by in no time. We learned via inside and outside views about the many buildings and their stories. This NGO is doing a terrific job preserving the unique art deco flair of Miami Beach. Many thanks again! Best tour for anybody!

My boyfriend and I were visiting family in Miami and we decided to go on this tour. As former art & architecture students and lovers of art deco, we were excited. The tour did not disappoint! Julie was an excellent tour guide and person to be around throughout the incredibly hot summer day. Every tour she does is slightly different as she gauges her audience and their interests prior to beginning the tour. She was a delight! Loved hearing about the history of Miami Beach and its establishment, something I never knew even being born and raised in the city. Would recommend to out-of-towners and history buffs!

Our tour guide was great -- so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. There are many interesting buildings to view in a short walking distance. Allow for 15-30 minutes to check out the museum also. The only disappointment was that the gift shop had generic Miami souvenirs rather than art deco items.

We are from Australia and we had always wanted to come and visit Miami South Beach – mainly for the wonderful Art Deco architecture. So this tour was an essential part of our trip. Our tour guide, Damian, was very knowledgeable about the history and the architecture of South Beach and he had some great stories to tell about some of the buildings. We were pleased that we went inside some of the buildings too, so we could enjoy and find out about the special design features of each place. Our group was quite large, which made it hard to squeeze into some areas, but it was good that Damian had an audio system so we could hear him clearly. It was quite a long tour (2.5 hours), mostly standing and walking, so I would only recommend it to people who are mobile and not infirm.

Joined this walking tour of about 2 hours and loved it despite the Miami heat. We got to learn the 4 distinct styles of south beach architecture through our guide Rick who always kept things interesting. Loved that we even did lobby hopping through the various hotels although we were unable to cover all of them. We did however have some great recommendation on what else to see and eat outside the tour itself. Would highly recommend this walking tour to anyone visiting South Beach, Miami!!

A real look at how Art Deco came into existence in Miami Beach and how the conservationists made it so that SoBe will keep the small scale architecture

Julie our tour guide and expert local is the best tour guide I have ever experienced in my whole life! This was the absolute highlight of my trip. Try and do this at the beginning of your trip because it made it easier for me to find things that I wanted to do by getting the advice of locals.

My wife and I and another couple (from the USA) just completed an unbelievable tour of Morocco created by Morocco by Design (MBD). Keri Levitt and her crew (including Camila) thought of everything. After being whisked through passport control at the airport by the VIP team, we met Hamza, our guide, and Said, our driver, both of whom would become our very close friends while taking us everywhere on our tour in a new Mercedes van (including dropping us off and picking us up from all our lunches and dinners which MBD had prebooked, but which could by changed if we felt like something else). We stayed at the modern and beautiful Hotel Sahrai in Fez and the fantastic, centuries-old Villa de Orangers in the heart of Marrakesh, with the kindest staff we have ever met. The best thing about Morocco, in our opinion, are the unbelievably warm and welcoming people--they truly take pride in welcoming you, whether it's to their restaurant, shop, home (where we had dinner prepared by a food writer/chef) or just meeting them on the street. We felt totally safe everywhere we went and the food was delicious (water is totally safe in the hotels and bottled water is served everywhere else). The sights, sounds, smells and tastes (Moroccan spices are incredible). All of this was made possible by the efforts and planning of Morocco By Design, who can't recommend highly enough.
