Description

Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of Little Havana, and experience its cultural traditions, sights, sounds, stories, rhythms, aromas, and flavors on a guided walking tour. Find out about the stories behind the people and places, and walk away feeling like a local. Begin by meeting at the Bay of Pigs monument and learn about the history of the Cuban migration to Riverside in downtown Miami. If you booked our Food Tour option, you’ll taste your way through the neighborhood while uncovering the stories that shaped modern Miami. From the Bay of Pigs, you’ll stroll past the José Martí Memorial and step inside a traditional Cuban bakery to enjoy flaky guava pastelitos and classic ham croquetas, staples of everyday Cuban life. Next, go behind the scenes at an authentic cigar factory, watching skilled artisans hand-roll cigars using old-world techniques. You’ll also visit a traditional guayabera shop, where the iconic Cuban shirt tells a story of style, culture, and migration—before stopping for a strong Cuban coffee, a true local ritual. The flavors continue with a perfectly pressed Cuban sandwich, crispy mariquitas, and refreshing Materva soda, as your guide explains how Little Havana evolved from a quiet neighborhood into a global cultural landmark. You’ll then sit down to enjoy a traditional Cuban meal, featuring slow-cooked ropa vieja and yuca frita, showcasing the depth of Cuban home cooking. To top it all off, you’ll taste our Secret Dish, revealed only on the day of the tour, a surprise that bridges classic Cuban tradition with Miami’s modern food scene. The experience concludes at legendary Domino Park, where locals gather daily. Surrounded by the sound of domino tiles and lively conversation, you’ll leave with a true understanding of Little Havana, not just how it tastes, but how it lives. This is more than a food tour. It’s a cultural journey through Little Havana, guided by locals, powered by stories, and fueled by 8 unforgettable Cuban dishes.
