Danny is the best! - Danny is the best! As someone who came over as an immigrant from Peru as a child, and having lived in Miami all his life, he is literally friends with every local as you wander from stop to stop. He's friendly, charming and extremably likable. He shared fun tidbits and promoted small businesses as much as possible. The food was good, the stops all worthwhile, but Danny really made the tour fun and informative! The stops: 1. Two art galleries - gorgeous artwork from locals. I wish I had bought some striking ones of sailing. 2. Coffee shop - some very strong Cuban coffee for those interested, as well as yummy potato, ham and cheese croquettes. 3. Photo ops with murals 4. Dominoes park where we watched locals play, and learned the rules. 5. Old Havana Restaurant for a sugar cane mojito (delicious) and Cuban sandwich (basic). Also bought peanuts for $1 from a local vendor. 6. The bakery for guava pastilles. This place was swamped. The pastille was flaky and buttery. 7. Cuban cigar making - interesting to see how they're made. 8. Sugar cane drinks - the grandma was working hard to push the sugar cane through the press! 9. Local market for beef empanadas (yum) - went back later to buy another pastry. 10. Last stop for churos - thin like fries, oh so good

Little Havana food tour - The tour was very good. We had a small group- about 5 people. Danny, our tour guide, was very polite, funny and had extensive experience in little Havana. The food was excellent as you would expect, and this tour has struck the balance of the quantity of food that you would taste, very well. We didn’t leave hungry and we weren’t so full to bursting either. We would definitely rebook this tour.

A must! - We had the best tour guide! Our local guide Danny showed us the real Little Havana as he shouted greetings to all the locals and joked with them ( and us.) He shared a wealth of local and historical information. And the food and drinks were delicious. He brought us to places we as tourists would never think to go to. If there were more stars I would give them! Amazing experience.

Great tour - The food was fabulous and the artwork was fantastic. The guide was very friendly and interacted well with the entire group. He was very educated on the Cuban culture; however, he was often hard to hear. I noticed other walking tours had microphones so the group could hear.
