Definitely recommend! - Great tour; a fun way to learn the history of Ybor City. Max was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide. The tour was a little under two hours and went by quickly. Check this out if you’re in the Tampa area!

Fun and informative tour - Nice pace-not too fast or too slow. We forgot our water bottles-but that’s on us. Our tour guide, Charlie, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He had so much information to share. Felt we got a great understanding of Ybor City and Cuban history. Would highly recommend.

Hot ghost town - Guide Steve was very knowledgeable and interesting. There just wasn't much to see. It was also hot for the 2pm walk. I developed a headache and my friend was nauseous after the tour. The area was like a ghost town. Nothing open. No place to purchase a drink to help the headache. This was not our guides fault, just how our bodies responded to the afternoon walk. I would recommend an ealier time slot if possible, it was not possible for our group. We did learn lots about the area and I am glad that we went. Just be sure to wear large hats and take cold drinks with you. Perhaps one of the stops could have a small cooler in place containing cold drinks for purchase. That would have made a big difference
