Excellent tour with much talking, not a lot of walking as the Little Havana area is fairly compact. Our guide went out of his way to accommodate our interests and introduced us to some colourful local artisans.

Danny was a very knowledgeable tour guide. He really tried to connect with us and did a great job of immersing us in the culture. I would recommend this tour guide for everyone visiting!
Superb info on the history of the area leading up to the present. Great sense of humor and ability to tailor the tour to the interests of the participants
Who knew you Could spend all day in Little Havana. It’s a beautiful neighborhood party. Food was delicious and Danny even sweeter. Super tour guide!
Wonderful tour! Danny is the most knowledgeable guide we've experienced in a long time. The stories were engaging, I think Danny knows everyone on Calle Ocho. We left the tour feeling we experienced the true culture and heritage of the area. We enjoyed the whole experience and all the food!
Our guide Faruk was personalable and engaging. His knowledge of the historical facts of the Cuban migration was peppered with local anecdotes gleaned from his conversations with local Cuban exiles. His introduction to Cuban coffee and pastries was a nice touch.
We go on a lot of these types of tours all over and this was one of the very best we’ve had! We’ll definitely come back for his other tour.
Our guide was very knowledgeable of the area and the history. We enjoyed all of the stops on the tour as well as the coffee and pastries. I would recommend taking this tour!
Walked through the whole Little Havana & our tour guide Danny explained in detail about Little Havana
The walking tour of Little Havana was great and very informative. Danny the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the Cuban culture.
Very interesting commentary. Learned about the Miami area from the 1800’s through to the 1950’s when many Cubans fled to what is now Little Havana. Very interesting visiting a cigar shop, the oldest store on Calle 8, domino park, the Bay of Pigs monument plus lots of spray painted murals. Nice 2 hour walk before boarding our cruise ship.
Faruk was an excellent tour guide who shared interesting historic information with us. He knew many of the locals we passed on the street. You could tell that Little Havana is a close knit community. I highly recommend this tour.
Unfortunately, did not get to have my tour. Spent $70 on Ubers between Little Havana and South Beach where we were staying, but once we got to Little Havana, the tour guide had not been informed of our booking so we didn’t get to have to tour at all. He was nice enough to send us recommendations but this was a major screw up on Viatour’s part.
Very nice and intimate tour. It was just us and the guide who.was very knowledge and well known in the area. Got a good snack, a coffee and visited some of the local stores.
Faruk was a great guide. He was knowledgeable about the history of the neighbourhood, and introduced us to some interesting places and local people. We learned a lot, and enjoyed exploring Little Havanna with him. He had lots of stories and information about the area more widely, and the morning was very relaxed. We highly recommend his tour.
The neighborhood of Little Havana was really interesting to see. I liked the street art, we also learned about the guayabera shirt and had a guava pastry. However, I was disappointed in our tour guide. The trip we took was called the history buffs’ walking tour, but our tour guide did not share much history with us. He was very familiar with the neighborhood and the stores and people who worked there. The tour group was just our family, so he should have asked us what we were interested in at the outset. I wanted to learn more about the Cuban heritage of the neighborhood and how it changed over the years.
Faruk was an excellent guide. We particularly enjoyed the history of Cuba and its history with the US. The pastries and Cuban coffee were a nice treat,
Excellent tour guide and ggod experience Walking was easy and meeting shop keepers along the way provided a good break
The story about the tobacco in the U. S. history was really interesting and the information about the roosters on the streets helps me to understand Little Havana a bit better.
Great experience with a fantastic guide. The highlight of our Miami trip and would recommend to anyone looking to visit Little Havana.
I did this tour with my elderly parents who were visiting from out of town. Farouk was our guide and he was extremely personable, accommodating, and very knowledgeable about Cuban history despite not being a local. This is my third different tour of Little Havana and I learned new things from Farouk. Loved the choice of shops we visited - cigar factory, art gallery, guayabera store and bakery. Would definitely recommend!
We absolutely loved this tour. Our Guide, Farouk, was friendly, knowledgeable and interesting. We really enjoyed learning some of the history of the area and the people in it. Met several local members of the community whilst doing the tour and the local “cuisine sample” was a highlight too. Highly recommended!
The tour is very authentic! I felt touched by the history of the Immigrants from Cuba! I definitely recommend it to Miami visitors .
Faruk is a very experienced tour guide! The tour was very interesting and informative! I had a great time!
Faruck took us on a local adventure walk to see and experience the Cuban neighborhood. We met some locals, bought some Cuban cigars and saw the production process first hand. We tried some Cuban coffee on the way. I loved the cafecito!
Little Havana is a gem in Miami and Danny made it so special by showing us around the neighborhood and told us a lot about the history and culture of the Cuban community. We also met some interesting locals making cigars and an artist. Highly recommend for an introductory tour of the area.
Our tour guide-Faruk was exceptional. He made an already amazing tour even better. We loved seeing and tasting local specialties.
Small tour of Little Havana in a group of 3. We had the chance to talk to our guide who explained many details of Miami and, in particular, this area of the city. Very interesting
