Activity itinerary

Miami Beach

*Please arrive 15 min before tour start time. It's not possible to join any of the tours halfway or once they have started. *We do not recommend driving in Miami. Consider a ride-hailing company like Uber or Lyft, taxi, private car or public transport. Reach out to Sobeach Tours to ask about alternatives. *It's hot in Miami from May-October. Come prepared to walk outside in the heat for an extended period of time. Temperatures usually range in the low to mid 80sF (30C), however, during heatwaves temperatures can reach well over 90F (35C). We recommend bringing a hat, bottled water, and sunscreen. We'll go inside buildings, try to keep you in the shade and make some stops but this is a 2 hour walking tour outdoors. *The trolley will be used to go from point A to point B but this is not a trolley tour. It's a walking tour so be prepared to walk for about 2 hours.

Versace Mansion

10m
Admission ticket not included

World-famous Ocean Drive is one of the most photographed stretches of Miami Beach. Here we find, nestled among low-rise Art Deco hotels, Villa Casa Casuarina – better known as the Versace Mansion, the former Miami Beach home of fashion designer Gianni Versace. The Versace mansion is the third most photographed house in the United States behind Elvis’ Graceland and the White House. The Mediterranean Revival style palace, lined with the designer’s signature Greek mythology Medusa logo in gold bas relief, has been the subject of fascination for locals and tourists alike on Ocean Drive ever since Gianni Versace’s untimely murder on its front steps in 1997 at age 50.

South Pointe Park

South Pointe Park is a vibrant green space at the southern tip of Miami Beach, offering stunning views of the South Beach shoreline, Port of Miami’s cruise ships, and Downtown Miami’s skyline. You might get lucky and spot the Icon of the Seas, the largest cruise ship in the world, docked at the Port of Miami's Dodge Island. For photo-worthy views, take a stroll along the 20-foot wide promenade and see Fisher Island across the water as yachts pass by, then continue on to South Pointe Pier.

Mango's Tropical Cafe

Mango's Tropical Cafe in South Beach is the ultimate hotspot for dining, dancing, and entertainment in Miami. With a lively atmosphere that keeps the party going until 5 AM every night, guests can enjoy a Latin Cabaret Revue show, sip on delicious mojitos while learning salsa, and groove to the beats of live music in the #1 nightclub in South Beach. Mango’s became one of the world’s most famous nightclubs in the 90s and is regularly frequented by celebrities such as Will Smith, George Clooney, Robert De Niro, Tiger Woods, Gloria Estefan, Marc Anthony and Andy Garcia.

Art Deco Museum

The Art Deco Visitor Information Center is your go-to spot for all things Miami Beach vacation planning. Located in the lobby of the Art Deco Welcome Center in the heart of the Art Deco Historic Disctrict at 10th Street and Ocean Drive, this friendly concierge hub offers assistance with things to do, places to eat, attractions, tours, and adventures to make your trip a breeze. Stop by for info, maps, brochures, and event guides – no admission fee required! The Center also houses the Official Art Deco Museum and the Art Deco Gift Shop filled with original Art Deco posters, t-shirts, books, cards, vintage items, jewelry, memorabilia, and one-of-a-kind art.

Scarface Hotel

The Scarface Hotel, located at 728 Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, Florida, is where the infamous chainsaw scene from the 1983 crime drama film took place. In the movie, Tony Montana and his crew visit the Sunray Motel to buy drugs from a Colombian gang, only to find themselves in a deadly setup. The hotel is now home to a CVS store, but back in the day, it was a Johnny Rockets joint. So, if you're ever strolling down Ocean Drive, keep an eye out for this iconic filming location!

Mac's Club Deuce

One of the few remaining dive bars in Miami Beach (and one of the oldest), Mac's Club Deuce is the seaside town's definitive spot to drink, feed the jukebox, and shoot pool. Not much has changed inside this legendary establishment which opened in 1926.

Palace Bar & Restaurant

Grab your camera and head over to a Drag Queen show. The Palace is the most famous LGBTQ bar in Miami since 1988! Located on Ocean Drive, it's a popular destination for locals and tourists looking to enjoy a fun night out. The colorful décor and friendly staff add to the overall experience, making it a must-visit for anyone wanting to soak up the energetic vibe of South Beach.
