A 3 hour history lesson - Our trip was fabulous, & the information that Chris has on the history of this part of Miami is amazing. There was only 4 in our group which made it easy to move around and to hear the stories. He asked what we wanted to know and went from there.

Fantastic tour - worth the time and cost. - Carlos our guide was the best part of the tour. He accommodated all requests (gluten free). He was very knowledgeable about Little Havana , Cuba , customs and Calle Ocho. Carlos was enthusiastic and entertaining- the perfect guide. We enjoyed the food(Cuban sandwich), drinks ( mojito) and other goodies. Also the cigar stop was fascinating. Fabulous tour.

Awesome tour - This tour really immerses you in Cuban culture. The history of this part of Miami was very interesting. Our tour guide, Noel, was so knowledgeable and fun! I've been on a couple of walking tours in the past at different cities in which the tour guides talked "at" you, not "to" you. Sometimes you can hear what they are saying, sometimes you can't. It's the luck of the draw depending on your "placement" during the tour. Because this tour limits the amount of people that can go at a time, we all could hear what Noel was saying and felt comfortable asking him questions. I never felt rushed during our tour -- we went at the perfect pace. My favorite stops were: Kcull Boutique (I love how all of the items sold there are made by local artists), Old's Havana Bar and Cocina (I'd never tasted authentic Cuban food before that), and Ball and Chain (best mojitos and atmosphere to listen to music and have a good time in Little Havana!) I highly recommend this tour and if Noel is available, ask for him!

Superb tour - This was a really great walking tour! Noel was so knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. I loved shopping at KCull Boutique, supporting local artists is a must for me. The highlight was the amazing atmosphere at Ball and Chain! What a fantastic time! All attributed to our fantastic tour guide Noel. Ask for him, you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic!! - I must start by saying, I'm typically not a 'touristy' traveller doing the 'popular' things. I like to immerse myself in the culture of the location; and that is EXACTLY what this tour did! Our guide, Noel, was amazing!! He's clearly a 'local', full of knowledge...yet he was entertaining and so much fun! There was such a variety of stops and at the perfect pace. CubaOcho was a must see - full of history and culture and such a great stop! Loved the old neighborhood feel of the shops & Domino Park. And the food - so great to try such ethnic flavors. An odd highlight for me was the Ball & Chain! Had seen this place on TV a few years back (on the Bachelorette - don't laugh, lol) and said, "I need to go to that place!" So much fun, great drinks & be sure to make your way to the back of the place for a nice surprise! All in all, great tour...made 1000 times better by Noel. And I highly recommend it - AND HIM!
