As a proud Cuban who lives right in the neighborhood, she brought every street, mural, and bite to life with stories you won't find in any guidebook. * Expert storytelling: Toni blended history, culture, and fun facts so effortlessly that the past felt present around every corner. * Fantastic food line‑up: From the first crisp empanada to the last sip of strong Cuban espresso, every stop was spot‑on--and those freshly muddled mojitos were chef's kiss. * Behind‑the‑scenes moments: Watching master rollers craft cigars up close was fascinating, and Toni's insider connections meant we got front‑row views. * Warm local vibe: She knew shop owners by name, waved to neighbors, and made us feel like part of the community--not just tourists passing through. We loved every minute and every bite. If you want a tour that's flavorful, authentic, and led by someone who truly knows (and loves) LittleHavana, book with Toni. You'll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit!

I cannot recommend this tour enough! We had Toni as our guide for the Little Havana Food Tour. She…read morewas so energetic and knowledgeable, and so prepared! She brought ponchos so we could continue on as it rained. It was beautiful to learn about and see this neighborhood through the eyes of someone who grew up here. Toni knows so much history and seemed to know so many of the people, too! The tour has so much food - I was honestly more than full at the end and I didn't even finish all of my portions. I think it was a really good range of drinks, desserts, and food. Even though that coffee cup looks small, that's a full serving size and it was strong! I really really appreciate that this tour not only accommodated for vegetarians but also chose options for me that were realllllly good. Instead of the cubano, I had these fried plantain cups stuffed with veggies. They were SO good and seasoned well! And the spinach and cheese empanada was also amazing. My friend who got the meat options also loved her food. This tour is the perfect way to learn more about Cuban history, the history of the neighborhood, see all the street art, watch a game at domino park, and experience some of the best food in Miami. I cannot recommend this enough!!!

I had a lot of fun going down to Key West from Miami through this tour company. I really liked how…read morethey text you as soon as you book it and you can be texting someone if you have any questions. I also like how our driver Manuel let us have his cell number in case we get lost or have any questions during our alone time at the Keys. I had never seen a tour company do that. They should all do that! The only thing I suggest is that they have the drivers join Zelle. I know we should all be carrying cash, but the truth is a lot of the times we don't think of that before leaving. And then once in Miami, our banks don't let us withdraw from the random ATMs we stop by while on breaks. Other than that, it was great!

I visited Miami on a solo trip. The Little Havana Tour takes you through 9 stops in 2 hours which…read moreinclude authentic food and Cuban coffee, what a treat! It was a group of 10- 12 of us. Its all culturally narrated with stops that include cigar factory, Domino Park, Callejon Del Gallo, Ice Cream, Cuban Memorial, classic cars, and the theatre. NOTE: As self-professed coffee snob (Jamaican Blue Mountain, Kona Hawaiian, ect) this was added to my list! Less is best when it comes to Cuban coffee. Very rich and powerful little cup. The locals warned us to sip slow, woke me right up and offered good advice on adding sweetened condensed milk. Cost 5/5 $69.99 As a self-proclaimed high low girl, this tour was right up my alley. A good cultural tour which included food, drinks, historical facts, and opportunities to socialize. I also purchased food from the bakery, cigars, Cuban coffee, drinks, and souvenirs. I had plenty of leftovers and was full when it ended. This tour is included on the "Top 10 Food Tours in the U.S." for a reason, worth the cost. Location was central and rich with cultural from the elders in Domino Park playing dominions to the colorful roosters nearby. Great experience, I learned a lot. Apparently Gloria Estefan and her husband owns half the city, Love that for them.

Located on the back lawn near the water of the Loews Hotel in South Beach, it platforms various local and statewide brands showcasing their delights. Hosted by Chris Valdes, a local Chef and Caterer who himself will be at the main SOBEWFF, this event is a laid back event to savor with friends. Some of the vendors included the Florida Dairy Farmers with a splendid selection of fresh cheeses (my favorites were the brie, gouda and a mini cheesecake). They also sponsored a yummy pasta dish. Another couple of favorites included tostones with ropa vieja (shredded beef) and croquetas. Cafe la Llave had a table with fresh cafecito for that much needed boost.

I booked the Miami on the Water sunset boat ride by Fiesta Cruises…read more It was a really nice experience and well worth the $35 per person. We went around the mansions and islands of Biscayne Bay for about 90 minutes as the sun set. The tour guide was informative while keeping things light and fun, and the DJ added to the atmosphere by timing songs from artists like Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, and Ricky Martin as we passed their homes. There were plenty of photo opportunities, and although the boat was on the smaller side, it didn't feel crowded. The top and front were open-air, with covered seating downstairs. Approaching the lit-up Miami skyline at the end of the ride was a highlight. The boat had a bar with reasonably priced drinks ($5 beers and $10 cocktails) and snacks available for purchase. The only downside was unclear check-in instructions. The email said the booth was inside Bayside Marketplace behind Chili's on the second floor. Right across from Chili's is a storefront for a different tour operator, and downstairs there are at least ten other booths with similar names, which made it confusing. After asking around, we learned the Fiesta Cruises booth was actually outside on the dock--you have to walk through the Tasca Paella restaurant to reach it. Once we found it, check-in and boarding were smooth. Parking at the garage can also be challenging, especially on weekend evenings or during events. My tour coincided with a Miami Heat game next door, which made traffic and parking more difficult and expensive (a $57 flat event rate). The company did send a warning email recommending public transit or rideshare. Even arriving an hour early, it still took about 40 minutes to park and locate the check-in booth.

Tickets aren't super expensive but also not super cheap. I think I paid $25 per person. This is…read morebetter than the one in Fort Lauderdale, simply because the guy talking was funnier and I could understand him. We got to see more homes than the Fort Lauderdale one.

Oh and there is a guy there that is giving a raffle ticket and it's trying to sell you on a timeshare.
