Very Informative South Beach Art Deco Tour

James did an awesome job of the South Beach Art Deco tour. He is a great communicator and shared vast knowledge of South Beach, not only the Art Deco architecture, but social, pop culture, and the evolution of South Beach since the 1920s. The two hours went quickly. James worked hard to keep us out of the summer sun by stopping in shaded areas and taking us into the lobbies of several Art Deco hotels. Lots of insights. Even our college aged daughter enjoyed. Highly recommend.

Great experience. James made the tour entertaining and very informative on history of Miami Beach and it’s transformations over the years. Loved learning what makes a building Art Deco as well as some of the insider history of the buildings and area. Look for the “diamonds!” Super fun time!

James took us on a walking history lesson of South Beach while pointing out the Art Deco “rules”, sprinkling in stories of hidden gambling casinos. So nice to see this architectural style preserved and protected. Very enjoyable.
