My wife, 11 year old son and myself thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour. It was made up of a combined group of 14 people who also seemed to enjoy themselves. It was full of information and plenty of great Cuban food, drinks, history and culture. I would recommend this tour for any age over 10 who wants to amplify their Little Havana experience. A very special thank you to our tour Guide Toni who went above and beyond.

Mariella was a wonderful tour guide who is extremely passionate about food and culture, she was both personable and professional through it all. My boyfriend and I both agreed there were moments we even got a little emotional from her commentary all while enjoying wonderful food and seeing smiling faces amongst the community. We will be sure to recommend this tour to all our friends visiting the area as it’s a perfect representation of what Miami has to offer.

Absolutely fantastic experience! I booked the Little Havana Food and Walking Tour in Miami last minute, and it exceeded all expectations. Dany, our host, was incredibly knowledgeable and personable, sharing fascinating insights about the area’s history, culture, and cuisine. The tour was perfectly paced, giving us plenty of time to savour each stop without feeling rushed. Every bite and sip we experienced was outstanding – the food and drinks were an absolute highlight. I can’t recommend this tour enough for anyone wanting an authentic and enjoyable taste of Little Havana!

The tour was a great blend of culture, history and of course food! Orlando also added another layer to the tour as he shared his own story about how he arrived from Cuba and a number of the residents of the area. His stories, jokes and knowledge of the area were first class…plus he is a great bloke so I would recommend asking for him 👍

Our guide Orlando was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and funny. We were able to see many sites and taste many wonderful food items and drinks from Cuba. I would highly recommend this excursion. It was only about 2 & 1/2 hours long and well worth every penny. The city is alive and the locals are very inviting. My kids joined as well and they are 20 and 22 and had a great time.

For a simple breakfast and coffee we had to wait a long time before anyone came, while it was not crowded , because the breakfast left much to be desired and we were still hungry ordered an apple pie to take away which cost 5,00!!! Euro !!
Again we had to wait a long time for this
When the cake finally came it was old, sticky and wet and the worst it tasted like food / food ( onion / garlic ) which was also kept in the fridge that you tasted very good.
It is that we were already out of the city of Nijmegen and we could not turn back then I would have complained immediately because for 5 euros this was a real travesty!!!
Unsellable bad!!!!!!

Over the years, my wife and I have used food to better understand the history and culture of places we have not visited before. Those places include foreign countries, as well as, places in the United States.
On a recent 2-day trip to Miami Beach, we decided to try a Little Havana food tour and decided to book with Miami Culinary Tours based upon previous reviews and recommendations from Conde Nast , CNN Travel and Forbes Travel. We were not disappointed…
Bianca was our guide and for two “plus” hours, she shared some delicious culinary treats from her native country Cuba. Bianca did a marvelous job of sharing insights to Cuban foods and beverages from coffee to cigars. The variety, quality and quantity of those delicacies were delicious, flavorful, and didn’t allow for much more at the end of the tour. Bianca thought us about Cuban culture, style, and its history is such a small amount of time, we now better understand how this small island has become so important to American diversity.
Five stars to Bianca!!

I came alone to Miami to check it out before a business transfer to explore the area. I woke up Sunday morning and booked the tour on the fly since I saw so many good reviews. I was fortunate enough to be paired with Mariela. She not only made me feel like we could be life long friends, but she let our group into her very personal life as a Cuban American. She shared the history of the neighborhood, invited us to her favorite places and fed us to explosion! I’ve never been on a tour that left me feeling such a connection to the guide or the location as I did in Little Havana. I didn’t want the event to end! I cannot recommend this tour or her enough. Thank you Mariela for making me feel so special and thank you for sharing your world with me!

Andrea was a fantastic tour guide and hostess for our trip to Little Havana. At just under 2.5 hours, we learned a lot about the Cuban culture -- food, music, politics, and people. It was a vibrant scene with heavy foot traffic, nice stops in the restaurants, shops, and memorial site. The food was scrumptious, the drinks were delicious, and Andrea weaved stories to bring it all together for us. Definitely worth your time.
