My husband, eight year old daughter, and I scheduled this tour in order to try a variety of foods while we were visiting on spring break. The deal with our daughter was she had to try everything but didn’t have to like or eat everything. She followed through and fell in love with the food at Havana 1957 (which was on my must try lists anyway so that was a win for me!). Our tour guide Dany was wonderful. He kept us all engaged and was extremely knowledgeable. This tour really made our trip and really really made me love Cuban coffee. I just need to remember how he said it’s made and I am set!

Tasty food, enchanting tour guide and lots of info

Robyn was our guide and oh, what a treat to be educated by her about the culture and origins and food and everything about South Beach! She is beyond dynamic. We could have stayed with her ALL day! The time spent with her flew by and we were enraptured by her energy, warmth, knowledge and charisma. So, so much fun and her love for Miami Beach was always apparent. We give her 6 stars out of 5 OR 11 stars out of 10!
Dany was a fantastic tour...

Dany was a fantastic tour guide. We enjoyed every stop along the way. We highly recommend him and this tour.
Great tour, guide, food, and fun!!
Ryan_P, Apr 2024
Dany was an excellent tour guide. Spent the time to connect with everyone in the group, very personable, remembered different things people told him about themselves along the way, and genuinely showed care for ensuring everyone had a great time on the tour. The food and locations were great and it was a nicely paced journey. Dany ensured it was paced well enough for everyone (including our two younger kids) to keep up with the group and not feel rushed. He made sure we had time to “stop and smell the roses” as he explained all about the area, culture, and food. My wife and I ended up booking this tour last minute and we are so glad we did!
Wonderful Experience!

Must do in South Beach for cultural foodies
rachaelwilkinson, Mar 2024
Dany was fabulous, so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and took us to some great places and shared stories with us. Well paced, neither too fast or too slow. Group of 14 was a great size. Everyone along the way locally knew Dany, he’s obviously a legend. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dany, great guide!

Dany did a great job guiding our group through the unique restaurants at South Beach. Don’t get fooled by the size of the portions; they were small, but we were completely full by the end of the tour. We enjoyed: empanadas, ceviche, tacos, tequila, cuban coffee and churros. He provided a lot of information about the food we were enjoying as well ad the art deco history of the area. He was energetic and fun to be around. Would definitely recommend him.
