Award-winning Movies & TV Filming Locations Tour in Miami Beach
Overview
Available languages
2 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Step back into the Pop-Culture past and walk along iconic streets and dirty back alleys of Miami Beach as we explore the vibrant and historic locations that brought the big screen to life.
Miami Vice caused the "Vice Effect" which placed the forgotten city on a global map. I have made it my mission to bring these stories to life through passion, extensive research, storytelling, and visual aids. Guided tour includes a portable screen to watch scenes from the show right where they were filmed, allowing us to visually travel back in time.
You'll gain insider knowledge on movie & TV creation, experience the buildings, street corners, and interior spaces which were used as filming locations, and discover fascinating nuggets about the checkered history of the 1980s Miami. Every stop is a scene, every building a backdrop, every lobby a close-up, and every detail a story waiting to be told.

5.00It’s smart, funny, cinematic, and surprisingly immersive. You leave feeling like you’ve been let in on a secret. Miami was ready for its close-up all along.

5.00We had another fantastic experience with Miami Deco Tours on their movie and TV show walking tour in the Art Deco District. This was our second tour with Damian. We did the Art Deco walking tour last year and enjoyed it so much that we came back this time for the special TV and movie tour. Once again, it exceeded our expectations. One of our favorite parts was being able to watch scenes from shows and movies we love on a screen and then stand in front of the exact same buildings and locations in real life. It made the history and stories feel even more real and memorable. Damian is a superb host with an incredible depth of knowledge about the buildings on Ocean Drive and the history of Miami Beach. He’s friendly, engaging, and genuinely passionate about what he does, which really makes the tour special. It was such a great experience to share with my dad, and we truly appreciate Damian’s dedication to preserving and celebrating this unique slice of Miami. Highly recommended, and we would absolutely do another tour with him again.

5.00A truly one-of-a-kind experience. We watched scenes from Miami Vice and other Hollywood films right at the exact spots where they were shot. The highlight was an unexpected treat — a fan-created Miami Vice museum featuring authentic props from the show, from neon signs to the very guns used by Don Johnson. Damian curated the entire experience perfectly.
An information-packed tour, like a little time travel

5.00Damian's Art Deco tour was fascinating and very worth it! He is incredibly knowledgeable and shares many historical details which help you appreciate Miami Beach architecture and design so much more. The walk is easy but bring sunscreen and water! It gets hot toward noon!

5.00Damian is incredibly knowledgeable AND passionate about all things Miami Beach— history, art, architecture. I had a blast on the tour and learned a lot while having fun. He’s a great guide and I’m looking forward to doing the bike tour with him in the new year. When people love what they do, it shines through.

5.00Oh man … this was easily one of the most cool things my wife and I have done in a long time (especially me, being a massive Miami Vice fan)! Damian was an incredible guide and just a genuinely great guy. I am honestly thinking of doing this tour again at some point. Cannot say enough about Damian and the overall experience-just the BEST!!
History, architecture, and 1980s TV nostalgia

5.00We joined this tour during Art Deco Weekend, a special annual event. Several Miami Vice crew members co-hosted alongside Damian. Their firsthand insights and personal stories from their time working on the iconic show was an added bonus. Damian himself was fantastic, sharing a treasure trove of Miami magic with passion and expertise. The combination of history, architecture, and television nostalgia made for a truly fascinating and eclectic experience that I will want to repeat.
