About this tour

Miami Beach’s Art Deco facades hold stories that reach far beyond their pastel colors and neon glow. On this 150-minute Miami Beach Art Deco and Neon Lights Walking Tour, a local historian and preservationist brings the city’s curious past to life with researched tales, lively storytelling, and film trivia.

Explore architectural details hiding in plain sight, hear how Miami Beach grew from a landscape shaped by Biscayne Bay, and visit historic hotel lobbies and other semi-public spaces. Along the way, discover locations associated with Miami Vice, Scarface, and The Birdcage, and learn about the people and events that put Miami Beach in the headlines. Your host also shares a thoughtfully curated guide map to help you follow the stories beyond the tour.

How this score is calculated

This tour scores 5.00 on Viator and 4.72 on GetYourGuide. Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.

How the score works and rating distribution in Miami
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.3. Top 2% in Miami means it ranks in the top 2% of tours in Miami by this score.
