Miguel was a phenomenal tour guide. He knew so much about the area and you could see a lot of genuine passion for the Cuban community here. The food was PHENOMENAL. After the tour was over, we went back to the first stop to enjoy more of their incredible mojitos. I would recommend this tour to everyone interested in exploring Little Havana. It was a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon in Miami!

This tour was amazing. We had Ralph as our guide, he is an American-born Cuban and lives in Little Havana (he even showed us his house). Could not get more local and authentic. He knew all of the vendors personally as well as all of the locals. In addition to the great food, we learned a lot about the culture -- but not to the point where it was a boring history lesson. The tour struck just the right balance. For example, Ralph took us to Domino Park and explained to us the differences/rules of Cuban dominos, and we watched the elders play two games. We left this tour completely stuffed and did not eat dinner that day!

Little Havana is a great tour. Our guide Bethany was great - knowledgeable about Miami Cuban history and culture, she took us to all the cool places and had a lot to share and talk about! One piece of feedback is maybe a tiny bit more food or bigger portions. We came hungry! Would highly recommend this tour.
