Great for History and Culture Enthusiasts. - My companion and I took this tour as retirees to see some of the Miami sights after a 4 day cruise. I was particularly interested in this tour because it offered 45 minutes at Bay of Pigs Museum vs 5 or 10 minute spiel at a nearby monument. Turns out we were the only 2 guests on a May Monday morning, so our bilingual guide Angel had plenty of time to show us Karmen's Bakery (the meeting spot) and taste Cuban coffee and pastries, visit Bay of Pigs Museum to explain the history of the battle, see the artifacts, a short video and meet an actual Bay of Pigs 82 year-old veteran (usually 5 or 6 are there each day) who shared his personal experience of the event. We also met some Cuban artists and viewed their works before finishing off with an authentic Cuban sandwich at El Pub after stopping by Domino Park. We may have missed a couple of spots, but we did it at our own pace and Angel showed us his love and enthusiasm for the Little Havana neighborhood and Cuban culture he grew up with and still enjoys to this day.
