Overview

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.

    As a resident of Miami, I've embraced my new city wholeheartedly, diving deep into its history and culture since relocating from the northern states. This experience stands out as the most unforgettable yet. Damian's dedication to thorough research, urban preservation efforts, and thoughtful curation, coupled with his captivating storytelling, elevated it to a level beyond compare. It wasn't just a tour; it was the most comprehensive and engaging experience I've had so far. Will do it again next year, and planning to take his other tours when friends and family comes to visit.

    I'm passionate about history, and it's always a delight for me to seek out historical sites wherever I go. Damian is a genuine enthusiast for history, writing, and conservation efforts. His deep love for Miami Beach, its distinctive architecture, and its atmosphere helped us gain a true appreciation of the city. Through his guidance, we were able to see beyond the surface and grasp the essence of Miami Beach—the thoughts, values, and experiences of people who designed, built, and inhabited the neighborhood.
