This is a great way to understand the Cuban culture in Miami. It's a bit of history and a lot of culture. Our tour guide provided very interesting facts about her family experience. Excellent tour!
The tour was very informative and informal. It was extremely helpful for understanding Cuban-Americans. Highly recommend
I had such an amazing experience in Miami, and the one thing that stood out to me was the Little Havana Tour like dulce de leche on top of my flan. Darine is an incredible tour guide with incredible charisma and extensive knowledge of history, food, and culture. If you're in town for the day or on vacation, I highly suggest booking a tour!! 10/10 Argentino Approved 👌🏻
We hit tons of traffic due to multiple wrecks on our route to the starting point. I reached out to our tour guide about 1050/1045 for our 1100 tour letting him/her know we might be about 5min late. Let them know we could catch up with the group if they had left the monument/starting point, to please just let me know who to look for (gender/clothing/name, etc) No response back. Turns outs we drove right by the monument at exactly 11 & no groups were visible there. I messaged the tour guide again asking for a text or call back so we could find him/her and begin/join the tour. Still no response back. By the time we parked across the street and walked over it was 11:05 but no one there & no groups walking in route to the 1st stop on the itinerary. Never-the-less, we walked the 1st few stops of the route to search for the tour: domino park, the bakery, the cigar shop and back. And then repeated again desperate to find our tour. At the bakery I inquired with the staff if a morning tour had passed through yet, she said they do generally stop there as the itinerary stated but she said no tours had been by yet that morning. We decided to stay there for a bit and hopefully join them when they arrived. Waited about 10min & nothing. I called the phone number provided with the booking info, and it went straight to voicemail which I did leave. About 11:40 we finally decided to just leave little Havana all together since no communication back. I ended up requesting a refund later that afternoon. Was hoping someone would reach out and just reschedule us for another time and/or day during our stay. Rather the communication back is that a refund is being considered and a decision will be made in 1wk and seems to be an automated response. Seems to me the tour guide never showed & the tour just never took place. I understand unexpected things happen, illness, transportation issues, etc. but the communication has been rather poor…..and we were so looking forward to our tour! I’ve booked several times through this site on various trips w/ always an excellent experience (including a boat tour just the previous day) so this was unexpected and very disappointing. Depending on how the refund process goes and any future communication back, I could form a different opinion of the whole ordeal, but as of present things seem in limbo and I’m not sure I would book again on this platform.
Loved our excursion with Luis. Exceeded my expectations! Very informative & loved the personal touch of his knowledge about the town & the culture.
It was an amazing tour, great knowledge, history and pretty great spots for snacking authentic cuban meals, we loved our experience with Darine!! would recommend
This tour was AMAZING! I didn’t want it to end! It was filled with so much history, culture, food and interesting information. Our tour guide was amazing, very accommodating, and she made the experience very comforting and exciting! If you’re looking for something to do while in Miami, I high recommend this!
I went on a tour of Little Havana with an absolutely amazing guide, Darine! The experience was engaging and authentic. We explored the history, culture and flavors of the cuban neighborhood in a unique way. Darine was knowledgeable, friendly and passionate, which made everything even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the true spirit of Little Havana!
Excellent tour of Little Havana with all the extra touches that make a difference. This was the highlight of our trip to Miami - and it was our first time. I highly recommend any of her tours. She’s very knowledgeable and gives a personal touch that you don’t get elsewhere.
The tour was fun, educational and relaxed. Darien was great flexing to the needs of the group, and her love of the Cuban culture was infectious. I thoroughly recommend the tour.
Wow, just wow. One of the best tours my husband and I have been on. Darine was not only knowledgeable and personable, her connection with the community made this an amazing experience. We signed up for the cigars and rum and got so much more. This tour is a must.
Great tour!!!We were a multi-generational family and were able to go at our own pace. Great information, perfect stops and always with a smile. Thanks also for the recommendations at the end! Highly recommend!
This tour was fantastic.My guide Darien was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing personal family insights on Cuban history.
Amazing experience! As a local, I got to see hidden gems in little Havana that I didn’t know existed in my 13 years living in Miami. Highly recommended for tourists and locals! Solid spot filled with many historical facts and great staff! Doña Virginia, una belleza! Darene, our tour girl, super fun and knowledgeable!
Not for sure what happened, we arrived 15 mins early, waited at the meeting spot for the tour guide. At 215pm I messaged the tour guide, no response. At 230pm still no response. So we left and requested a refund which is pending.
My husband and I, and our children aged 10 and 13 had a great walking tour with Darine. It was very personal and engaging. We enjoyed it a lot!
Great tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about little Havana. The rum selection for tasting was good at the end. Would highly recommend.
Tour guide never turned up.. sent them two messages while waiting that were not replied to. You plan your day around these guided tours so when they dont turn up it sucks. However, when we asked for a refund it was promptly paid within 24 hrs.
This is an outstanding tour. The guide is knowledgeable, it is an authentic immersion in Little Havana- don’t look any further.
This tour was amazing!Darine told me great stories about Litttle Havana and we went to cigar's factory where she introduced me to the Cuban man who spent 30 years in prison in Havana because he was against communism.He sold me his book.It was great experience to walk around,you can realy feel like you are in Cuba.It was definitely my the best tour in Miami full of history and life stories.
Louis was great. Knowledgeable and personality. Great experience. I might have some Cuban in me after this experience.
Darine was amazing so helpful and lots of fun. Made our trip very joyful and very friendly she’s awesome
Very fascinating indeed. A look into the history and way of life of Cuba. Anyone who has ever wanted to enter a real Cuban cigar factory, taste Cuban food as well as Cuban drinks, should definitely join this tour! The history of Little Havana is not neglected either. Here you can learn a lot about how the district was created and how Cubans came to Miami. Clearly 5 out of 5 stars
We had a tour with a very likeable Cuban woman. She has passed on to us Cuban history, idiosyncrasies and the Cuban way of life in an authentic and informative way. Little Havana is more than just a place on the map for us now. Thank you!!!!
