Highlights

Meet your tour guide at the Bay of Pigs Memorial at 10am to begin this cultural walking tour through a humble but evolving neighborhood, boasting a kaleidoscope of culture, traditional customs, and vivid colors. Weave in and out of streets that mark the site of secret ritual offerings, the very location where the Bay of Pigs was planned, and the fountain of youth for the mature resident.

You’ll find out which cigar JFK liked so much that he bought the entire national supply before passing the embargo. Enjoy a fun and informative walk through Little Havana. Sample some classic Cuban bites which may include a Cuban sandwich, fried plantains, roast pork, and Cuban coffee at a family restaurant. Your tour guide can answer any questions about the history, the food, the people, and the politics. Guides will gladly take your photos for your entire group so no one is left out. A pre-planned menu is selected. Coffee, sodas, and juices are not included but may be purchased on their own.

Amazing Food Tour with Jennifer - Jennifer was the most amazing tour guide. She provided the group with rich history and even places to visit around the Miami area. Her energy and passion about the Cuban culture was the highlight of the tour. I loved her personality and her desire to connect with her group.

A taste of everything in a few hours - well worth it! - Loved the tour! Jennifer was a fantastic tour guide and really knowledgeable about the history and culture of the neighborhood and people. The food spots she picked were amazing - definitely hit on the highlights of the neighborhood. Felt pretty stuffed by the end of it. Unlike other tours I’ve been on Jennifer also provided a personal touch to the experience as she tried to get to know each of us and had us introduce ourselves so we all got to know each other a bit.
