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.

As a seasoned tour guide, I've discovered and curated the best-kept secrets of the area, including secret rooftop terraces with breathtaking views, peculiar corridors leading to hidden havens, obscure lobbies with intriguing tales, speakeasies that hold captivating stories. We will step foot on crime scene locations that once captured the World’s headlines, and decipher Art Deco hidden in plain sight. Whether history fascinates you or not, you’ll be entertained by an array of quirky facts and indulge in movie and TV trivia as we unveil the backdrop of popular film and television locations.
