A private food and art deco tour of Miami Beach by a great conversationalist - Our tour guide, Farouk, was so amazing! My sister and I were the only ones on the tour so we had a private tour in essence. We had a wonderful conversation and Farouk was so knowledgeable about the history and knew the shop keeper/restaurant owner. He was stopped couple of times by people he knew so you could tell he was a local who lived there. We really enjoyed our time and would highly recommend! Thank you for a great time!!

Excellent! Not to be missed! - Fabulous tour. Our tour guide was great - so knowledgeable. The food was really good and way more than I could eat, which is unusual for food tours, usually it's just little bites. The information about the art deco buildings made it historical and very interesting. Great combination! I highly recommend it.
