Unfortunately, did not get to have my tour. Spent $70 on Ubers between Little Havana and South Beach where we were staying, but once we got to Little Havana, the tour guide had not been informed of our booking so we didn’t get to have to tour at all. He was nice enough to send us recommendations but this was a major screw up on Viatour’s part.

Jeppe_T

Very nice and intimate tour. It was just us and the guide who.was very knowledge and well known in the area. Got a good snack, a coffee and visited some of the local stores.

Faruk was a great guide. He was knowledgeable about the history of the neighbourhood, and introduced us to some interesting places and local people. We learned a lot, and enjoyed exploring Little Havanna with him. He had lots of stories and information about the area more widely, and the morning was very relaxed. We highly recommend his tour.

Amanda_M

The neighborhood of Little Havana was really interesting to see. I liked the street art, we also learned about the guayabera shirt and had a guava pastry. However, I was disappointed in our tour guide. The trip we took was called the history buffs’ walking tour, but our tour guide did not share much history with us. He was very familiar with the neighborhood and the stores and people who worked there. The tour group was just our family, so he should have asked us what we were interested in at the outset. I wanted to learn more about the Cuban heritage of the neighborhood and how it changed over the years.

Faruk was an excellent guide. We particularly enjoyed the history of Cuba and its history with the US. The pastries and Cuban coffee were a nice treat,

The story about the tobacco in the U. S. history was really interesting and the information about the roosters on the streets helps me to understand Little Havana a bit better.

Oliver_P

Great experience with a fantastic guide. The highlight of our Miami trip and would recommend to anyone looking to visit Little Havana.

Monica_C

I did this tour with my elderly parents who were visiting from out of town. Farouk was our guide and he was extremely personable, accommodating, and very knowledgeable about Cuban history despite not being a local. This is my third different tour of Little Havana and I learned new things from Farouk. Loved the choice of shops we visited - cigar factory, art gallery, guayabera store and bakery. Would definitely recommend!

Geoffrey_B

We absolutely loved this tour. Our Guide, Farouk, was friendly, knowledgeable and interesting. We really enjoyed learning some of the history of the area and the people in it. Met several local members of the community whilst doing the tour and the local “cuisine sample” was a highlight too. Highly recommended!
