Don’t think about it, just book! - Booked the Little Havana Food Tour with my sisters and it was amazing! We really enjoyed ourselves. We were lucky to get Alan that day. We got the VIP packages which includes drinks. I don’t drink alcohol, but had non-alcoholic versions of the drinks. If you want to do mocktails, I recommend reaching out to handle that prior. For the food tour you not only get to explore a few restaurants in the area and try different dishes, but learn the history of the area. We came back the next day for dinner. I feel more confident visiting Little Havana because of this tour. I now know what to do and where to go when visiting this area. I would definitely book another tour with this company. If you’re a foodie, want to explore a new area, or need a fun activity for a group trip book this tour!
**Also don’t eat before you come. We didn’t and ended the tour full. Not sharing what we ate because I want you to be surprised, but trust the food is good!

Lee was an amazing tour... - Lee was an amazing tour guide. He was very well informed about the history and culture of Cuba and Little Havana. The food and drinks were delicious (it’s worth it to upgrade to get the mojitos and daquiris). I would recommend this tour to any friends of family traveling to Miami.

5 Star Food Tour in Little Havana - We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour around Little Havana. Our tour guide, Lee, was excellent. He was friendly, helpful and incredibly knowledgeable about the area, Cuban/American history and food. He’s very experienced in the tourism industry and was able to share his wealth of knowledge in a fun and engaging way. The food portions were generous and we were full by the end!

Great family tour!!!! 5 star experience! - Our guide, Liesner was absolutely terrific! He gave us wonderful insight into Cuba. We learned some history and gained an understanding of Cuba.
Warning ( good) GO To THIS TOUR HUNGRY!!!!!! You are served big portions. My family ( with a 16 and 12 yr old) really had a great time!! The stops were perfectly timed. Suggestion: a stop in the bakery or icecream instead of the last restaurant with cheese balls. Overall. 5 star experience for whole family. Our guide, Lee, was fabulous!
