Amazing Tour of South Beach - We had an amazing, insightful, and most importantly, personal tour with Paola. It was an experience you just can't get with the larger tours. She took us everywhere—and I mean everywhere. From the iconic Art Deco buildings to the lesser-known spots that only a local would know, she gave us the complete picture of South Beach. Paola didn’t just focus on the architecture and history, but also on the people who have shaped the area over the years. She shared stories about the characters who’ve lived here and their contributions to making South Beach the unique, glamorous, and sometimes gritty place it is today. What really set this tour apart was Paola’s ability to connect the dots between history and the present. I’ve done this kind of tour before, but this was by far the best. She made the experience feel personal and engaging, while also teaching us so much about Miami and its culture. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone who wants to truly understand South Beach beyond just the surface. Whether you're visiting for the first time or have been here before, you’ll walk away with a new appreciation for the the area and is people.

Paola's the best! - Paola was entertaining and very knowledgeable, we learned so much about the city and the people who lived there. We would definitely recommend this to other young people interested in architecture or just the city in general

Fantastic Tour. Well worth it. - 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.

Very knowledgeable; non-stop (although she kept us in the shade, as it was a hot day) - 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.

Great tour with a very knowledgeable guide - 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!
