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

Have you heard that Eleanor Roosevelt used to order pickled herring from Grossinger hotel in South Beach? Did you know why did notorious Al Capone sent truckloads of flowers to the oldest Jewish restaurant in Miami Beach? Do you know why Jews could not live North of Fifth Street? If the answer is "no" - you would probably enjoy my tour. Get ready to embark on a captivating journey through the vibrant history, culture, and rich contributions of the Jewish community in this sunny paradise. We will travel through the enchanting streets of Miami Beach's Jewish neighborhoods, particularly the iconic South Beach. It's like stepping into a living, breathing mosaic of Jewish heritage. As you travel along, you'll stumble upon breathtaking synagogues, museums, and thriving Jewish-owned businesses. Time permitting, we can stop to get a bite to eat in one of the traditional Jewish delis along the Orthodox 41st Street corridor.

On December 20th, 2023 I had a pleasure to participate in the Jewish Miami Beach Tour led by Alexander Gorn. I was very impressed with his ability to link history of Florida, Miami, Miami Beach and surrounding cities with important events of the Jewish history. I highly recommend this tour to all guests of Miami and Miami residents. You will enjoy a tour led by the professional that knows a lot, can talk about the subject, and will help you to uncover a lot of unknowns.

Alex was a terrific guide: very informative, flexible, and relaxed. My wife and I are relatively new to Miami and felt much closer to the city after our tour. Our specific tour focused on the Jewish dimensions of Miami and Miami Beach, which after the tour we realized encompasses a great deal of the history and modern life of the area. Thanks, Alex. I highly recommend your tour to anyone.
