A wonderful walk

Published on Jan, 2025

Our walking tour with Paola exceeded our expectations in every way. Paola is very knowledgeable and engaging, and her tour was perfectly paced and encompassed many aspects of South Beach history, architecture, and culture. We had a wonderful time!

Professional Guide: fun facts & insider tips & seeing the inside of art deco hotels was a gamechanger to our Miami trip!

Published on Jan, 2025

This tour is fun & informative - changes your whole perspective on the art deco buildings throughout Miami Beach & Miami and seeing there’s 800 of them it’s quite important to know what they are & why they’re there.

A tour not to be missed

Published on Jan, 2025

The tour was amazingly good and worth every penny! Paola is incredibly knowledgeable about Miami Beach, it's history and especially it's art deco heritage, and clearly loves to share her knowledge with others. The tour exceeded expectations and included access inside several of the interesting buildings. If you're visiting Miami Beach for the first time, I would recommend taking this tour early on: you will learn so much that will enhance the rest of your visit.

Art Deco Delight

Published on Jan, 2025

We lucked out with what turned out to be a private tour with our tour gide Paula. This was our first trip to Miami Beach and it started off with a great overview of the local history and how it all started. Once we got going, we visited several of the many art deco hotels on Ocean Blvd. and Collins Ave. I would highly recommend Paola and South beach Tours for anyone visiting Miami Beach. 5 Stars!

Fun & knowledgeable

Published on Jan, 2025

This was so fun! Lots of history and architecture appreciation. Paola was a wonderful guide. Sassy, fun, and knowledgeable. We would go on another one of her tours!
