*This isn't your run-of-the-mill bar crawl catered to typical tourists. It's an intellectual experience crafted for travelers seeking to discover the true story and spirit of Miami Beach beyond the simplified clichés.

While sharing drinks and on short walks from venue to venue you'll learn about city's checkered past and relive its history over time, which is truly stranger than fiction. Our journey will take us along iconic streets of South Beach leading us through lobbies and rooftops of exquisite Art Deco hotels.

You'll gain insights into the early days evolution, the Great Depression, city’s unique Art Deco architecture, Black history, Jewish history, Cuban migration, the notorious cocaine cowboys’ era, the influence of "Miami Vice," the infamous murder of Gianni Versace, plenty of hidden gems, and much more.

By the end of the night, I want you to learn about the city’s rich culture, make new friends, and have a unique experience that you will never forget.
