Tour Description
FOOD
Our local guides from the neighborhood will take you on a journey to discover all the most famous eateries. All the food arrived with our latin communities settling in Florida. Delicacies like empanadas, cuban coffee and pastelitos or cuban sandwich, but also some other Central American food we locally gave a twist and made it a Miami Fusion cuisine. We finish the tour with some freshly made churros.
CULTURE
The most cultured neighborhood in Miami, Little Havana is an experience that will stay engraved in your memory even after the first visit. You only have to choose the right people to introduce you to the important locals and indulge you in the unique local ways. We have access to stories, people and venues that nobody else does and will help you immerse in the community and feel like a local by the end of the tour. We visit a local gallery to meet and greet with a famous local artist ,as well as finish the tour in a local museum Cuba Ocho to see classical cuban art.
HISTORY
Miami was possible because of few visionaries, who turned it from a swamps to the most desired place to live. We reveal stories of trailblazers like Julia Tuttle, Henry Flagler etc. They made the first step, so all other communities that moved in the next few decades. We got the melting pot of Cuban, Bahamian, Jewish and all other great communities and influences that made our city great. We also discuss Cuban history from the Revolution, Bay of Pigs
Tour Stops
La Taverna Calle Ocho
The story of two sisters who proved it over the years that you don’t have to be in the heart of Little Havana to make it as a restaurant and have lines out the door. The hard work and quality of food makes it hard not to love this little off the beaten path gem.
El Pub
The nostalgia of a restaurant that looks like Cuba when it was a prosperous place and craving abuelita style of food made it possible for El Pub to open in 1996 and last within the same family ownership until today.
Party Cake Bakery
The newest addition to the heart of Little Havana is a Cuban style bakery owned by a local Cuban family. In fact you can see the whole family working. They offer a possibility to see and taste house pastries made in house and in front of you.
FRUTERIA Los Pinarenos
The oldest fruit store in Florida still stands and since the city founding till today. 58 years ago Angel and Guillermina, also known as Little Havana’s matriarch bought the fruit stand, serving fresh fruits to the locals and visitors.
Churomania Little Havana
Danny and his family are there when you need a freshly made churro. Smoking Cuban cigars, while people admiring his yellow old-timer car in front, is a picture you can’t unsee when you visit.
Meet & greet with Locals
Meet local people who invested themself in building Little Havana for decades. We meet artist Luis Molina, the peanut vendor Francisco, Little Havana's fashion consultant BIG PAPA, neighborhood matriarch Dona Guillermina.
