There were just two of us on this tour with our tour guide Charles. From the the pick up from our Hotel to the tour along the Main Street of little Cuba Charles provided a fun and informative commentary on the history and food of the area. We were given plenty if time at the food stops and sampled some lovely Cuban cuisine and drinks. The tour lasted about four hours and the time past too quickly. The only random part of the tour was to be brought to a Cuban clothes store at the end before returning for our trip back. Charles with his mixed heritage ( his mother was Cuban) was a wonderful host.Kendra_K

What a fabulous way to spend a day in Miami. ❤️ As local South Floridians, we rarely do touristy things. This did not feel touristy at all. I felt like I was on a VIP tour of Calle Ocho with an old friend. Ralph was amazing! He is a local, who is well known in the neighborhood. Everyone had something nice to say about him as we passed by. We learned so much about the neighborhood, Cuban culture, and food. The food at every stop was delicious. Ralph went above and beyond to make our day incredible! I can’t wait to come back at take my out of town guests. I will come back with some local friends too. Loved everything about this tour! I highly recommend!!!!Melissa_G
