Finding the real Miami! This was one of the best walking food tours we have been on and that counts what we’ve done in Hong Kong and the Mediterranean! Ariel our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and thoroughly professional. Hands down he was the best tour guide we’ve had, and that is saying a lot! We not only got to enjoy gastronomic delights such as empanadas, Cuban pastries, and the best Cubano sandwich we’ve had, we were treated to a cigar-making demonstration and an historic insight into Little Havana. And did I say that we had the best Mojitos ever! Fortunately, all food and drink samples were really full-sized portions, so come hungry and thirsty my friends! We’ve been to Miami many times without visiting Little Havana and that was our loss. If you really want to see and experience this fun city, book this tour … you will be glad you did!
Lots of great stops and history! Food: cubano sandwich and mojito, empanada, churro, fruit juice, and pastelito. Other stops: domino park, cigar store (cafecito included), cuban clothing store and museum, cuban war memorial.
Dani was out guide and informative, engaging and funny. 3 hr tour and good stops for plenty of history and food and excellent mojito. A lot of understanding now re Cuban culture and struggles before making this area of Miami a success .
