I was born in Leningrad, now St. Petersburg, in the Soviet Union, and left for the USA when I was 23 years old, just out of college. Leningrad was and still is a city with great cultural traditions. I fell in love with its world-famous museums, art galleries, theaters, and other attractions. I have been guiding tours for most of my life and began while still in high school. During the summer, Leningrad was visited by numerous youth groups from the UK and USA and English-speaking students were recruited to show them around. That is how I got my first taste of being a tour guide. I continued guiding through college and often worked with young adults. After leaving the USSR, I settled in New York City, went to graduate school, and started my own travel company in 1985. We primarily worked with international visitors showing them famous places of interest all over the country, from coast to coast. Though I had other tour guides working at my company, I continued to guide because it was rewarding and enjoyable. I traveled extensively throughout the country and that's how I first became acquainted with South Florida. I instantly fell in love with this beautiful place and eventually moved to the Miami Beach area. I love South Florida and want my tourists to feel the same way. I am exhilarated by its nature and history and I promise to get you excited as well. See you in Miami! None - State of Florida does not license tour guides None - the sky is the limit!

Overview of your Miami tour

We will start in the morning from a place of your residence or your cruise ship. Just over an hour drive, and we find ourselves in the town of Palm Beach, founded by the Standard Oil magnate Henry Morrison Flagler. Besides being a very picturesque place, this place has the most billionaires per capita in the world. You would understand why. We will get acquainted with and talk about the famous attractions of Palm Beach including the Flagler's mansion built as his wedding gift for his bride in 1902. At that time the magnificent estate was proclaimed as "more wonderful than any palace in Europe. . . " It might have been as exaggeration, but the 75 rooms palace is really breathtaking. We will visit hotel "The Breakers" which has hosted such people as Queen Elizabeth, several US Presidents and Hollywood elites; finishing at the present home of former President Trump - "Mar-a-Lago". I hope that this would be one of the highlights of your vacation.
