The best Cuban coffee, mojito, guava & cheese pastry, and cuban sandwich had, served in the breezy humidity of the Calle Ocho corridor; the weather was perfect Miami and my friend and I enjoyed taking in the neighborhood and hearing the stories of how Little Havana came to be. With much passion and interaction Orlando, our young intrepid tour guide, wove his own immigration story into the stories and history he shared about the colorful neighborhood. Great food choices and the tour really conveyed the pride and legacy and the possibility of the Cuban culture alive in Miami.

Orlando was a rock star leading this tour. We learned a lot about the Cuban culture and delicious food! Highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic way to spend an afternoon. Orlando was a phenomenal guide. He is knowledgeable and entertaining. Great food too
Lance_B, Apr 2024
Orlando, our guide was excellent! Very charismatic, well informed, a great story teller and a really nice guy! The tour itself was an easy walk from stop to stop and always a bit of shade so never too exposed. The food served at each stop was excellent and in big portions - except for the coffe which was done in the sharing tradition as small strong shots from a sharing cup. Our favorites were the empanada, the Cubano Miami sandwich and the fresh warm churros. Yummmmmm!!!
Ashley_D, Apr 2024

Jennifer_C, Apr 2024

We had a wonderful time on the Little Havana Food Tour. Aimee was an excellent guide. Her knowledge and insight into the Cuban culture really elevated the experience. She was upbeat, energetic, fun and very responsive to all of our questions. She took time well after the tour had ended to help us plan the rest of our evening in South Beach. The food was delicious. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Miami.
