Cesar was entertaining and knowledgeable. He really brought the Cuban struggle and immigrant experience to life with personal stories as well as historical anecdotes. Plus, he's just a fun and friendly guy... Hail, Cesar!

Cesar was a great tour guide for the Little Havana Tour. He was knowledgeable, engaging, interesting, smart, and enthusiastic. Would recommend him for any similar tours in the future.

This truly was a mixed bag. Good: Little Havana is an important part of Miami’s cultural fabric and history. We learned stuff. A stop at a local bakery for samples of Cuban savory and sweet goodies was great. Meh: It’s a gritty neighborhood. Not unsafe (in daytime, at least), just a bit jarring. And smaller than we expected. After a few tour stops, the last of which felt like a not-subtle push to buy local goods, it became redundant. Not good: our guide was too scripted for our tastes. And she had a hard time answering basic questions that directly related to the tour (like, what’s the population of Cuba?). She tried, and she wasn’t unlikable. Just … canned. I can’t say I recommend against taking the tour. Just go with limited expectations.

Our Guide Hugo was affable and knowledgeable. He also was a native of Cuba which led to his personal stories of his family and life in Cuba.

Hugo was an enthusiastic & engaging tour guide. His personality made the tour, as well how he explained the history of Cubans in the area. Would have liked to have to seen more of the area — we walked maybe 2-3 blocks, tops — but what we did see was enjoyable.

We both loved this tour. What really made it was our guide HUGO. He was very informative and answered all our questions.

Kayan kept us entertained with his knowledge and enthusiasm for all things Cuba. We had a fun group who all interacted and had lots of laughs. We enjoyed the food tasting as well. Worth doing so don’t miss it and if you get Kayan, you won’t be disappointed.

Maria Carey was delightful to tour with. She brought many interesting historical events and tied them into her own fascinating family history. I enjoyed it immensely!!
