Orlando was absolutely fun and enlightening. It was sweltering hot, but he made sure we had a great time. We feel 20% Cuban having had this experience. Well worth it!
Food was good and the background information on the food and Cuba was great! You receive large portions of food. It was hot so the tour guide made sure it was a great combination of shady spots and AC.
This is an excellent restaurant!
Very enjoyable. Our guide Ariel, was passionate and informative. The food and drink was tasty and plentiful.
Absolutely AMAZING experience! Loved the food, the group, and Ariel was the best tour guide ever! I would definitely do it again when I’m in Miami
Wow! What a fantastic tour! By taking the Little Havana Walking and Food tour on a Saturday afternoon at 5:00, you are able to get a true insight of this community and enjoy enough delicious food to count as supper. Be sure and attend with an empty stomach as you will be offered many delicious foods and drinks! Ariel, our energetic and knowledgeable guide, shared many interesting facts about both Little Havana and the Cuban culture. He truly made the tour a memorable experience.
A truly amazing tour. Come hungry because there's a lot of food and drinks to taste on the tour, plus its loaded with local colour and history. It will not disappoint. Big thanks to our tour guide Ariel!
Mariela took excellent care of us. She is very knowledgeable which made the tour of the area so much more than you could ever experience on your own. The food stops were delicious and well paced. Great Cuban sandwich and mojito at the beginning, which was perfect as we chose lunch time to begin. She also went above and beyond to ensure everyone was well hydrated at our stops as it was a very hot day.. Highly recommend this tour with Mariela!
You are not walking a long distance in this tour, only two or three blocks, but you are seeing some very interesting things. The food was very good, and more than what might be implied by "tasting". It was a meal spread out over those two or three blocks. We were led by Arial, who did a nice job with helping us understand more about the Cuban culture of Miami.
Ariel was a great guide full of knowledge and information. There were a lot of generous tastings - I defy you to feel hungry at the end!
