This tour features one of our friendly and insightful guides as they teach you about Cuban history on a small group tour, featuring delicious authentic food and drinks (included in the price of the tour).
To begin, meet your guide at the Cuban Memorial Park where you will see the Map of Cuba Monument and learn about the history of Cuba and The Cuban Revolution.
This four-block boulevard is home to various monuments dedicated to Cuban Freedom fighters, including the Bay of Pigs Monument and a Map of Cuba. The Bay of Pigs Monument honours the fallen Bay of Pigs Invasion in Little Havana with their names engraved with an eternal flame at the top.
Next, you will begin to eat your way through the heart of Miami on “Calle Ocho” the heartbeat of the Magic City at Los Pinarenos Fruteria. Operating for more than 50 years, they offer ripe fruit and vegetables where you will enjoy freshly squeezed juice (either guava or sugarcane).
Now you will move to Old’s Havana Cuban Bar & Cocina. Here you will enjoy the vintage decor and authentic music as you are transported to a pre-revolutionary Cuban era full of passion. You will also try a delicious half Cuban Sandwich (ham, sliced roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard served on pressed Cuban bread).
On your way to your next experience pass by/walk through Domino Park, a public square offering tables under shelter for dominos and chess games. Here, at any time of day, you can see regulars sipping Cuban coffee while they play dominos and chat with friends.
Your next stop will be at El Pub - family-owned and operated since 1996. Experience live music while you re-fuel with some famous Cuban Coffee, and enjoy an Empanada (beef, chicken, or vegetarian) - a classic Spanish or Latin American pastry turnover filled with a variety of savoury ingredients traditionally baked or fried.
Your guide will then take you over to one of Miami’s premier bars and lounges - Ball and Chain. You will have a pastelitos de guayaba - a traditional Cuban puff pastry filled with cream cheese and guava. Similar to an apple danish, this dessert is made thick from slowly boiling guava pulp, then wrapped in a flaky, buttery puff pastry and baked until golden.
To end your tour, feast on a churro, a delicious dessert covered in sugar and cinnamon from Churromania.
