Toni was an excellent tour guide. Informative and very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing her culture. All of the food spots were delicious. We had plenty of food that included a beef empanada, half a Cuban sandwich a churro, a mojito, a guava pastry, and a Cuban coffee. Seeing how they make a cigar was also cool. This tour is a great value, fun and a great way to learn about Little Havana. Walking is all on the same , flat street so pretty easy if you have mobility issues. Plus you get a chance to sit down at each of the stops.
This was fantastic! Toni was the best tour guide, and we ate lunch via the fantastic food. We had two adults and five children from adult age to 8.
Orlando did an excellent job communicating before hand and kept up engaged throughout the tour. Very knowledgeable and insightful about cuban culture and history.

Great time. Orlando was awesome. Very informative and funny. He really showed us a good time. The food we got to eat was amazing and the coffee and mojito were spot on.
Not to much walking. Lots of variety of foods and desserts. Orlando was the best. He was funny and knowledgeable. I appreciate his candor and attempts to always make us smile. The food was delicious and filling. Great atmosphere and vibes. Definitely recommend if you want to experience Little Havana.
Orlando was our guide. He was very entertaining and knowledgeable. It was hot but well worth it. We enjoyed it very much. And he looked very slim in black.
This is the perfect blend of Cuban food and the history of Little Havana. It was fun, informative and delicious. Our guide, Orlando, was the perfect host.
Must see in Miami! Toni Gonzales (our tour guide) made this walking food tour truly spectacular! The food was delicious (Beef Empanada, Mojito, Churros, Guava Pastry, Cuban Sandwich + seeing hand made cigars), but what made the experience especially memorable was hearing Toni share Cuban history and culture with such passion and pride. As a Cuban herself, she brought a personal perspective and authenticity that made every story come alive. Her warmth, knowledge, and enthusiasm made the tour feel so much more than just a food tour. An unforgettable experience and absolutely deserving of 5 stars!
