Award-winning Private Group Art Deco & Hidden Gems Bike Tour

Did you know that Miami Beach is mostly man-made? And that Biscayne Bay used to be a shallow swamp? And that Muhammad Ali became world boxing champion for the first time right here in Miami Beach? Miami Beach history is riddled with enchanting stories, and I have made it my mission to bring these tales to life through extensive research, engaging storytelling and passion. I'm excited to offer a captivating guided bike tour through Miami Beach, where we will delve into its checkered past and relive its history over time, which is truly stranger than fiction. Our bicycle journey will take us along iconic streets leading us through lobbies of exquisite Art Deco hotels, scenic parks, and historical sites. You'll gain insights into early days evolution, The Great Depression, city’s unique architecture, Black history, Jewish history, Cuban migration, notorious cocaine cowboys’ era, the influence of "Miami Vice," the infamous murder of Gianni Versace, plenty of hidden gems, and much more.

Q&A

Q: What should we wear for the bike tour? Is it casual or more dressy?

A: I'd recommend wearing comfortable, casual clothes since you'll be biking around for a couple of hours. Closed-toed shoes are a must, and don't forget sunscreen and sunglasses! Miami can get pretty hot, so light fabrics are a good idea.

Q: Is there an age limit for the bike tour? Can kids join?

A: There's no strict age limit, but I suggest kids should be comfortable riding a bike on the road. Families often take their older kids (around 10+) because the pace is relaxed and the stories are engaging for all ages. Just remember to check with the provider for any specific rules!

Q: What happens if it rains on the day of the tour? Do they cancel?

A: If there's rain, they usually monitor the weather and will notify you about rescheduling options. Most of the time, light rain won't cancel the tour, but if it’s too severe, they’ll give you the chance to pick a new date. It’s best to keep an eye on the forecast!

Just did the Art Deco bike tour and WOW!

I took the private group Art Deco bike tour in Miami, and it was seriously amazing! Our guide was super knowledgeable, and the stories about the city’s history were totally captivating. Plus, exploring those hidden gems and Art Deco hotels was a real treat. I went with a group of friends, and we all agreed it was one of the best parts of our trip! Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a unique gift for someone who loves history or biking.

Considering the bike tour as a gift for my parents!

I’m thinking about getting the Art Deco bike tour for my parents’ anniversary. They love history and biking, but I’m a bit worried about how fit they need to be for this. Any advice? Will they be able to keep up with the group?
