Q&A

Q: What's the best time of year to book the Art Deco tour? Is it too hot in the summer?

A: Honestly, May to October can be really hot in Miami. If you don’t mind the heat and humidity, it can still be fun, but I’d suggest going early in the morning for the best experience! For cooler weather, consider booking from November to April. Just keep hydrated, and wear comfy shoes as you'll be doing a lot of walking!

Q: How long is the tour, and do we get to go inside the hotels?

A: The tour varies but usually lasts about 2-3 hours. Yes, you do get exclusive access to some of the historic hotels! It’s super cool to see the interiors and hear the stories behind them. Just be ready for a lot of walking and bring your camera!

Q: Is this tour suitable for kids? I'm thinking of gifting it to my family.

A: Yes, this tour can be fun for older kids, especially if they're into history or architecture! However, younger kids might find it a bit boring. Just a heads up, it can get really hot, so keep that in mind when deciding if it's right for them.
