Do this tour with Danny, you won’t regret it! - Danny was so awesome - I can’t say enough great things about him and this tour. Danny was knowledgeable and funny, and brought us to some great spots. ALL the food on this tour was absolutely delicious. We go on a food tour everyone we travel, and I must say, this one is probably at the top. Thanks for a lovely day!

Great Tour - We had a great experience with our guide Danny. He was waiting for us at the assigned meeting point- no problem! Another family joined us and we were off- meandering our way down the street in and out of shops and cafes, while Danny told us stories of the neighborhood and the food we were eating. It’s a lot of food- come hungry! We loved all the stories Danny told and the way he seemed to know everyone we met- highly recommend!

Little Havana- so fun! - We spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon with Danny as our tour guide in Little Havana- what a delight! The neighborhood is all bright colors and happy hip-swinging music. Danny knew so many people on the street who stopped to speak to him. Sure, most of those people had something to sell and they hoped we would be their customers- but it was a joy to be exposed to it all- a person with parrots for photographs, a man selling peanuts for a dollar, and all the people in all the shops we stopped in . We ate cuban sandwich (amazing!) , guava pastries, empanadas, and churros- it was basically two meals!. Danny also told lots of stories and we learned about the hobby of dominos with a Cuban twist, and the history of the Bay of Pigs. This was not a serious history tour, but it was super fun and I highly recommend it. He pointed out a jazz club on the tour, Ball & Chain- we stopped there for a cuban mojito after the tour and listened to the band. It was a wonderful afternoon.

Wonderful food and interesting cultural info - Faruk was a great guide to show us around Little Havana, providing lots of details to inform us about the origins of the area and Cuban culture. Come hungry because there is enough food and drink tastings to fill you up. I don’t drink coffee but totally enjoyed the Cuban coffee! Easy walking for all ages, BTW.

Great tour! Great host! Great food! - My husband and I had such a great time on our food tour with Danny in Little Havana! Danny knew so much about history, culture, food, and members of the community. We learned so much from him! Loved seeing those playing dominos in Domino Park and seeing all the art displayed throughout our tour as well. The Cuban sandwich, mojitos and churros were some of our favorites! If you’re thinking about doing this tour, book it now! It’s an easy and enjoyable walk!

Waste of time. Food bad and guide worse - Boring. Couldn’t hear anything the guide said-/nor could others. Opted for the 4 pm tour. Bad choice. Everything was closing at 5 pm So no visit to domino park and other Places Food. Meh. Skip This and if you want Cuban food go To Versailles. Out guide didn’t know much about the 5 blocks of little Havana considering he was Cuban. Total waste of money.
