Sunny shores of Miami Beach, a quick stop on our Caribbean cruise vacation! And it was a real treat. From palm-fringed comforts to top-notch entertainment, Miami has it all. But the real gem of our adventure? Damian's bike tour. Strap in, folks, because this ain't your grandma's history lesson. Miami's got a wild ride of a backstory, full of ups, downs, and more twists than a soap opera. Damian is a time-traveling wizard, whisking you through the city's past like it's his own personal DeLorean. After his tour, you'll never look at Miami the same way again (we are officially in a relationship with the Magic City).

One of the most remarkable tours I've experienced. Damian seamlessly connects the architecture to historical events, making the physical details feel like vivid portals to the past. It's the closest thing to time travel you'll ever encounter.

We paid for a private bike tour for 2 of us and it was best decision. Damian is so knowledgeable and passionate about everything to do with Miami. It’s history. It’s architecture. It’s secrets. It will make you curious to do your own research and uncover more. Super way to orient yourself to the area. Great way to jump start your own passions to explore and live life. Thank you Damian! Really really enjoyed!!! Gail and Bob

Don't be intimidated by the idea of a 3-hour bike ride, it's not Tour de France, it's a Miami Beach culture tour. There will be plenty of stops while our guide explains the architectural and historical sites along the way. And Miami Beach is full of them. The ride is suitable for riders of all skill levels.

Taking his tour on our first day in town was a fantastic decision. As a testament to its excellence, another couple on the tour were returning guests who took the tour over a year ago. They enjoyed it so much that they came back for more! Damian, thanks for the fantastic insights and tips! The stops to learn about the history and admire the architecture along the way were spot on!

Thanks to Damian's well curated tour, we now fully appreciate the neighborhood's charm and history, noticing details we would have otherwise overlooked. Exciting history and captivating side-facts. We've learned a lot about the city of Miami Beach and its architecture. Our guide was exceptionally warm and friendly. Thanks once more!

The host Damian was so well organized, detailed and thorough! His passion for Miami is evident in his broad knowledge of everything that is Miami. A total of 7 riders was just the right size. He wore a sound mic so we could all very clearly hear his docent. He also used an iPad when making stops to illustrate points visually. It was fun, humorous, historical and overall a great way to spend the afternoon in Damian's beloved adopted city of Miami!

I learned so much of Miami Beach’s history from Damian, and he gave so many interesting insights into the community. A perfect outdoorsy activity for anyone who would like to see a different side of Miami Beach!

Damian was very knowledgeable and detailed with the things he shared. Exactly what I'm looking for! I enjoyed listening to all the architecture and history. All in all, this tour made me more confident to navigate by myself with newly found meaning behind all the places I visit in South Beach. Also the after-tour bespoke map by curated by Damian was super helpful for the rest of my vacation. Overall highly recommended!

Damian was an excellent Tour guide! He did have an outstanding knowledge of the history and we learned a lot of Art Deco and the former Miami. I really enjoyed the tour and can highly recommend it.
