3-Hour Little Havana Food Tour with Full Authentic Cuban Meal
Description
The real Miami is unfolding on Calle Ocho, where the air smells of fresh espresso and hand-rolled cigars, and every block tells a story of survival, soul, and incredible food. On this walk through Little Havana, a neighbourhood designated a National Treasure, you'll taste 7+ authentic Cuban dishes: flaky guava pastelitos, savory ham croquetas, a perfectly pressed Cuban sandwich, crispy mariquitas, and a full traditional Cuban meal. Wash it all down with a Cuban coffee, a social ritual locals swear by. Along the way, you'll visit the Bay of Pigs Monument, go behind the scenes at a real cigar factory, and wrap up at legendary Domino Park, where the tiles click and the laughter never stops. One more thing: a surprise Secret Dish, revealed only on the day. Book your spot in a small group, or make it yours entirely. Private options are available for those who want the full experience to themselves.

You'll find out which cigar JFK liked so much that he bought the entire national supply before passing the embargo. Enjoy a fun and informative walk through Little Havana.

Our tour guide Cesar was the best! He was very energetic and made sure we had a great time, very knowledgeable as well. Request him if you can! The food portion was well worth it, we had some really good authentic Cuban cuisine. Bought a few suveniors after our tour. Highly recommend if you’re staying in the Miami area!

We had a great afternoon with Cesar! From the start he was enthusiastic and knowledgeable with a great sense of humour! Mixed with great food and drink, the visits to the cigar maker and the Cubavera clothing store were equally interesting.. again with lots of great info from Cesar. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to hear about the history of Cuba and Little Havana and also wants to sample some excellent Cuban food.

This was our first trip to Miami (for the football World Cup) and we were keen to learn about the food and history of the Little Havana area. Our Guide, Kayan, was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Little Havana and its people and happily introduced us to many local characters who are influential in the neighbourhood. Kayan communicated well the importance of Cuban culture through its food. We ate and drank in different places and it was all delicious. I would happily recommend this tour with Kayan - time well spent.
We appreciate you sharing your experience. It's rewarding to hear that so many parts of the experience stayed with you afterward. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours!

This was an excellent tour with Kayan. Kayan is very knowledgeable and knows a lot of people in Little Havana. He passed on a huge amount of information about the history in a very friendly, fun way - not just about our stops but other institutions too! The food stops were delicious and the last stop (the store and museum) was fascinating. We’d thoroughly recommend the tour and I would love to visit the neighborhood again for longer
