Description
Tours are led by an SOI-certified Architect, Historic Architect, Architectural Historian, and Historian. This tour highlights retrospective examination of the historic conflict that unfolded on the island of Hispaniola—territory now divided between the nations of Haiti and the Dominican Republic—which ultimately gave rise to the world’s first free Black republic within a colonial context. The enduring legacy of this revolution continues to manifest in diasporic communities such as Little Haiti, where Haitian identity is articulated through cultural expressions of texture, flavor, and sound. This tour experience seeks to illuminate the historical, social, and cultural interconnections among Miami, Haiti, and the Little Haiti neighborhood, highlighting the transnational dimensions of Haitian heritage and its ongoing influence within the global African diaspora.

The best part of my Miami trip!
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour of Little Haiti! Cidelca is a fantastic guide (educator!). I’ve studied a bit about Haitian culture and learned so much during the tour. Cidelca is well connected in the neighborhood and I was happy to meet the shop owners and try some Haitian treats!

Disappointing Little Haiti Tour
The two tour guides, a Haitian American man and a French woman, were very knowledgeable. But there’s not much to see on this tour. The market was empty. The cultural complex had a few small galleries. We saw the former site of Dr DuPuis’ house and Mapou bookstore. But unlike previous reviews, there was no golf cart, no urban farm, and no bakery or snacks. They did recommend two Haitian restaurants: Chef Creole and Naomi’s Garden.

Straight up scam
Scam! Showed up and no one was there! No response from tour operator. Viator has refunded me. Don’t waste your money.
Operator response

Fun+Eating+Learning=Memories
Fun, dancing, learning + eating in Little Haiti. Abraham was our tour guide. We went to the Haitian Cultural vCenter, a bookstore that next day is going to host a book festival, Lakal ,--where celebrity Chef Marcus Samuelson, came to scout out the Miami food scene before he opened his restaurant, a Haitian market and an urban garden. We would love to take more of the Tap Tap Tours. This was the highlight of our day!!! Loved our tour in the festive gold cart!

Intro to Little Haiti
Great guide, great music and a fun way to explore Little Haiti. We stopped by the cultural center, a bakery, drove around the neighborhood, learned some history, and even got to visit a “farm”. Very enjoyable tour. This is a light intro to the neighborhood and made me want to explore further.

Fascinating history and culture tour!
We loved this tour led by a guide who grew up in Little Haiti! Had a chance to see an open air market, cultural center, bookstore, and to learn about the history and creativity of the community there.

I recommend
I recommend this tour to get to know history, culture and current challenges of this neighborhood. Abe is an exceptional tour guide, very passionate about his neighborhood. He's trying to save it from gentrification and over development.
