Very good tour. Mariela is a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and warm. Lots of information, amazing food and drink. Very generous portions and lots of stops in AC and shade (good for current temperatures).
Great tour! Awesome food! Wonderful guide. Hoji was very friendly, full of information, and insightful.
Bianca was very knowledgeable and fun. The places to see were great, food was great and the experience was amazing, especially seeing how Cuban cigars are made. My daughter loved it and learned so much about Cuban history and culture. The culture is rich in color and pride and the murals were beautiful and unique. It was great to see them on the wall of McDonalds.
Orlando was our guide, and he did a terrific job. The food was great at each of our stops and equated to a full meal when we were done. I never had a Cuban sandwich before, but I'm a fan of them now! I also enjoyed learning about the spots where some movies and TV shows were filmed in addition to Cuban culture.
Bianca was absolutely amazing! We had a group of 8, and she made our Little Havana tour so much fun. She was bubbly, enthusiastic, and incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area. We loved the food, drinks, learning how cigars are made. We learned so much, laughed a lot, and had such a great time. Bianca truly made the experience memorable. Highly recommend!
