“Damian was a truly fantastic tour guide. My family and I took this tour with him while visiting Miami for the holidays, and his depth of knowledge and familiarity with the South Beach scene and history was astounding. 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!”
