A unique view of Little Havana, which emphasized the current residents and their culture. Very different than other tours of this area, which are more factual and emphasize history more We had fun, but I am glad I had done other tours that provided me with more background first.

Great tour with a witty and knowledgeable tour leader. We had a great time and the food was delicious.
Danny was amazing! He spent extra time with us so we could get to know little Havana and enjoy our experience. He knows everyone in the community and it was a very special experience.
Really great tour. Kenneth was a excellent Guide. Great sense of humor and very, very informative, very knowledgeable about the area. He got us to locals only places that we would’ve never been able to find on our own. And beyond the food and coffee, it was an excellent tour for the architectural art deco part of the city. Can’t say enough about Kenneth and the tour.
This was such an amazing experience- Danny was so fun and knowledgeable, I felt like we really saw Little Havana from a local perspective
Informative and loved the culture
Had a great time getting the history of Little Havana and tasting all the delicious food and drinks. Danny was the best tour guide! I highly recommend him!!
Danny was our tour guide and he was amazing! He was very informative and funny. It wasn’t a ton of walking and we still got to stop in and view some local shops in between eating. The food was amazing! My personal favorite was the Cuban sandwich.
Our family ended up getting a private tour which was great. Danny was amazing! His deep cultural knowledge and background really made the tour memorable. Amazing mojitos and the best Cuban sandwich of our Miami trip for sure.
Fun overview of foods in the area. Cultural history was a bit lacking though. A good way to get overview of the neighborhood and places to return for longer outing.
The food was fantastic! Our guide was energetic and friendly.
Best tour guide “Farouk” All food stops were good but the Mojita was best we have ever had and so after tour we returned for happy hour and the place has live music
Farouk was very knowledgeable and personable. We learned so much about Little Havana and we so enjoyed all of the different food samples. TYVM!
Good tour to taste and see the sights of Little Havana. Danny was our tour guide and he was entertaining. Loved the variety of items we tasted along the way from the Cuban coffee, Cuban Sandwich, Mojito, Guava Pastry and really good empanada!
.....although there was plenty to eat and drink too. Danny was an engaging and informative guide who had a wealth of information to share about Little Havana. We crammed so much into the time available and learned so much it was well worth the visit and is highly recommended. Afterwards we visited the new exhibitions at the Freedom Tower which seemed to put everything we had seen into context.
Excellent food and fun. This tour goes up and down one street in Little Havana. You get to enjoy great food, coffee and a mojito at multiple stops. Our tour guide was fun and funny. Very smart guide was personable and fun.
A really fun experience. Cuban coffee, pastries, an amazing Cuban sandwich, a Mojito, and more. A grand couple of hours eating and walking around Little Havana. Pair it with Wynwood Walls for a delightful day.
The tour was great and well planned. The food was amazing and the tour was very informative. Danny was an amazing tour guide and kept us entertained throughout the tour. Would recommend this tour to all and especially if Danny is the guide!
Our Little Havana tour was fantastic. Our tour guide was Danny. He was professional, very knowledgeable on the history of the area, funny, and shared stories. The food was delicious. An overall great experience.
We had a great time exploring Little Havana with Farouk our host who was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and culture. We went to some really authentic places for food and drinks with no wait. There was a lot of standing which wasn’t great for my back but others might not mind this. Tour was 2 1/2 hours which is great value but I think it could have been easily 2 hours with a little less talking!
Plan to arrive hungry, as you will be amply fed during the 2.5 hour walking tour! The local Cuban food was terrific and sampling the variety of foods was a great way to spend an afternoon! Our guide, Faruk, was so knowledgeable about the neighborhood and culture. He walked us through not only Cuban cuisine, but Cuban history. We learned so much. It was well worth taking this tour!
Faruk was amazing. Was amazing to have a tour guide who really knew the community and was recognized. Would recommend to anyone!
What a perfect tour! Danny was an iconic tour guide and truly felt like “Uncle Danny” by the end of our tour by how personal it was. I felt like I was in a musical as he greeted everyone on the streets by name. What a wonderful and abundant mix of foods and drinks! I was full by the end. I loved getting a glimpse into several different aspects of what makes Little Havana great. Highly recommend this tour.
Great tour and our guide was AMAZING- very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable!! We learned so much about the area! Highly recommend!!
Great tour with “Uncle Danny”! Visited plenty of interesting spots and ate a lot of delicious food!
Awesome tour post cruise before heading to the airport. Danny, our tour guide is very knowledgeable and hilarious. We ate some delicious food, sipped some nice drinks, met some great people. Wish we had more time. Highly recommended 🌞❤️
Danny was pleasant and chatty, and had lots of information to share. We enjoyed his company, and we walked and talked at a comfortable pace.
Danny was great! He’s very knowledgeable. We started late because a few people didn’t show up or were late. This was unfortunate because even though we were on time, we missed the end of the tour due to being on a schedule (and our parking had expired). I know that southerners are more laid back but this was frustrating to us northerners.
Amazing experience. Our tour guide, Danny, was a true local and super knowledgeable about the area, its history, its people, the culture and the food! 10/10 would recommend!
Danny, our tour guide was like the Mayor of Little Havana. He knew everyone and everything. An amazing person 😃
Great overview of Little Havana and lots of tasty treats along the way
Excellent info and food tasting Our guide was fun and knowledgeable. We learned a lot and are some great food.
Wonderful food & our guide was so knowledgeable & personable. Learned a lot about the Cuban people. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful tour with Danny, lots of delicious food and an amazing experience. Danny was very knowledgeable with the area and history. We would highly recommend this tour to experience Little Havana.
Slow paced walking and lots of opportunities for bathroom trips. The food is excellent and the historic tidbits and cultural explanations are great.
During our first time in Miami, my husband and I, along with our friends wanted to visit Little Havana to learn about the history, culture and of course try the food. Our guide, Danny, was friendly, extremely knowledgeable and took us on a tour through Little Havana, where we not only got to learn about the history but visit local stores, restaurants, murals, etc. This was a great introduction to Little Havana for first time visitors.
Wonderful tour with Fanny our guide. He's a true Liitle Havana local, he seemed to know everyone on the street from shopkeepers to vendors. We learned great history of the area along with sampling of Cuban foods. The best Cuban sandwich, I've ever eaten eaten. Along with Cuban coffee, pastries, churros... I highly recommend this tour, especially with Danny as your guide.
Danny made the Little Havana Food Tour an unforgettable experience. His knowledge of the neighborhood went far beyond food. He shared the stories, history, and cultural details that brought Little Havana to life, offering insightful tips you would never discover on your own. Each stop felt intentional, thoughtfully chosen, and enriched by his deep understanding of Cuban cuisine and local traditions. What truly set Danny apart was his personal touch. He connected easily with everyone on the tour, remembered names, answered questions with genuine enthusiasm, and made the experience feel warm and welcoming rather than scripted. His passion for Little Havana was contagious, turning a food tour into a meaningful cultural experience. If you want more than great food, if you want context, connection, and authenticity.
Tour guide canceled at last minute stating that because the other guest canceled they would not take me alone. I had booked weeks in advance. Horrible business practice.
We were keen to experience the real Little Havana in Miami and this walking tour did not disappoint. Danny, our guide was both informative and engaging and it was wonderful seeing him being fist pumped by members of the Latino community as we did the tour. From delicious mojitos, to sweet churros at the end, this was a fantastic tour and our objectives were achieved. Well worth the effort.
Delightful and insightful tour. Danny was exceptional and even arranged a piece of birthday cake for a member of our party. The food, stores, and experience we're definitely something that we would not have been able to see without a guided tour.
It was wonderful and worth every penny as you will not leave hungry!!! Amazing food and an amazing guide!! Absolutely worth taking this tour- our guide was very knowledgeable about everything- had food from five different restaurants/bakeries and it was all authentic Cuban food and very delicious! Also went to an cigar shop and learned the whole process of making cigars
Our guide (Farouk?) was absolutely delightful, entertaining, & his knowledge of Little Havana was off the charts. I love going to local places & everywhere we stopped the food was delicious. This tour is a definite must. You will go to places that you most likely wouldn’t find on your own.
Danny was a fantastic guide and a wealth of knowledge on Little Havana, Cuban culture, and Miami. He was very engaging and was friendly and well known with many of the locals we saw on the tour. Make sure you go on this tour hungry as Danny will take you to some delicious spots to eat! We highly recommend this tour!
Danny was an enthusiastic and engaging tour guide. We finished the tour full of the knowledge and food of Little Havana.
It was a fabulous tour with Judina. I would highly recommend this tour. She was absolutely fabulous. Very informative. All the food we tasted was wonderful. We started out having a quickbite of a Cuban sandwich in Mojito. Followed by more food and wonderful pastries. She also talked a lot about the history of little Savannah. It really a wonderful tour. I would highly recommend it.
It was an enjoyable, entertaining, and educational experience. Daniel made the outing easy and fun. The food was great.
Dànny was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Great food stops. Make sure you come hungry. He gets an A+
So intimate & fun! Truly enjoyed hitting all the local spots we never would have known existed. Highly recommend!!!!!!
Excellent tour with Farouk who was very knowledgeable about Little Havana. The food was a great representation of the area and the Cuban Sandwich was the best I’ve ever had. Make sure you arrive hungry!
