Miami Art Deco Gems & Jewels Small Group & Exclusive Access Tour
Best for: Travelers who want a detailed introduction to Miami Beach architecture, history, and historic interiors in a small-group format.

It focuses on Miami Beach’s Art Deco Historic District and includes exclusive access to the interiors of historic hotels and other landmark structures where larger groups are not allowed. The experience is built around a detailed introduction to Miami Beach history, architecture, art, and culture, so it suits travelers who want context as well as sightseeing. The tour is also positioned for guests who want a more intimate pace and the option of private or Spanish-language arrangements through the operator. It is a good fit if you prefer depth over a quick overview.
For travelers who want architecture and historic interiors
- Small-group format for a more personalized experience

Movies & TV Filming Locations Private Group Walking Tour
Best for: Travelers who want a private-group walking tour centered on movie and TV filming locations in Miami Beach.
This is the most specific choice for travelers interested in Miami Beach on screen. The private-group walking tour follows multiple stops on iconic streets and uses a portable screen so you can watch scenes where they were filmed. That format makes it especially useful for people who enjoy connecting locations with movies and television rather than focusing on broader city history. The inclusions also add a practical touch, with bottled water, a curated guide map, and behind-the-scenes access to historic hotel lobbies and other semi-public spaces. It suits travelers who want a more tailored experience and prefer a route built around story and visual reference points.
For travelers who want a private, pop-culture-focused route
- Private-group format for a more customized experience
- Portable screen used to watch scenes at filming locations
- Includes bottled water and a curated guide map
