Summary:
Thoroughly enjoyed this Little Havana tour as an activity to celebrate my mother’s birthday. We traveled from New Orleans to Miami. Our guide, Helena, was such a beautiful light. She was very relatable, professional, sweet, accommodating and knowledgeable.

Summary:
This tour was absolutely fantastic! Our guide (whose name I, unfortunately, can’t spell!) was Cuban-American, and having someone with that background and heritage made the experience so much richer. His personal connection to the story and the neighborhood brought Little Havana to life in such an authentic and meaningful way.
We enjoyed full portions at every stop, so take my advice come hungry! Do not make the mistake I did by eating a snack before the tour, because you wont have room for all the delicious dishes and drinks along the way.
Public parking was easy to access, affordable, and conveniently located to meetup spot (less than 3 minute walk). The amount of walking during the tour itself was very minimal since most of the restaurants and shops are close together. It even started pouring rain halfway through, but it didn’t affect the experience at all! At the time the rain started we were enjoying a Cuban sandwich and mojito under a covered patio. Many of the buildings have overhangs that made it easy to keep going. For those of us who came prepared (umbrellas and ponchos in hand), it was no problem. My only dietary restriction was no pork, so I ate beef chicken and vegetarian options as an alternate to any pork item. I was very pleased with how accommodating they were for all the different diet needs in the tour group.
Overall, a wonderful experience great food, great energy, and a wonderful guide. I’d absolutely recommend this tour and plan to do it again in the future, along with the South Beach food tour our guide mentioned!
