Miami South Beach Art Deco Fully Guided Walking Tour

About this activity

South Beach is one of the most photographed neighbourhoods on earth, but most visitors never get past the surface. This walking tour goes deeper, uncovering the stories behind the Art Deco facades, the landmarks, and the communities that made this district iconic.

You'll walk Ocean Drive past buildings designed by Henry Hohauser and L. Murray Dixon, hear how Barbara Capitman rescued these pastel gems from demolition, and stop at the sun-drenched steps of the Versace Mansion, the Wolfsonian–FIU Museum, and a gleaming 1948 diner shipped here from Pennsylvania.

Along the way, you have the option to add food and drink stops that bring the neighbourhood's flavours to life: a Summer Sangria, a mystery Secret Dish with a crisp Margarita, a Pastelito de Guava con Queso with a Mojito, and a bold Cuban Sandwich. This food experience is available as a private upgraded option, tailored to your group.
