He knew so much about Art Deco, the Versace murder and Florida history. We've been coming to Miami every Christmas for decades, but still learned a ton and got a lot of insight we didn't have before. For over 2 hours he guided us through the neighborhood, answering all our questions. I would 1000% recommend this walking tour to anyone who wants to learn more about local history, architecture, and culture!”
