This walking food tour begins in Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood. After a meet and greet with the guide, it’s time for a flavorful and fun adventure. 

Visit family-owned and operated Cuban restaurants to sample the fresh flavors of the local cuisine. The Calle Ocho area of Little Havana provides an overview of the neighborhood’s traditional flavors—favorites like homemade mamey and flan ice cream, chicken- and picadillo-stuffed plantain cups, guava pastelito, plus coffee, guarapo juice and much more. Many of the Cuban dishes are prepared from family recipes that have been handed down from one generation to another. All tastings are included and sum up to a large, full lunch.

This tour includes more than just food, however. Meet some of the Cuban artists in their studios, listen to some traditional Cuban music and watch skilled Cuban cigar rollers at Havana Classic Cigar. Also, visit Maximo Gomez Domino Park, a landmark on Calle Ocho.

The tour concludes back at the original departure point.

I went solo on this Little Havana Food & Walking Tour and had a lot of fun! Bethany, our guide, was very personable and knowledgeable about the Cuban culture/history. The food was delicious and the drinks were refreshing! Keep in mind, you are not receiving sample sizes of each food item; you’ll be receiving the full size. So, be sure to arrive on an empty stomach😋 There is lively music all around that’ll get you in a good mood. Highly recommend this tour!

What an amazing tour! Ariel our tour leader has a great energy and spirit, and provided so much great info about Little Havana beginnings. I'm so glad I booked this for our family, our kids did so well and loved the art all around plus they tasted some delicious food they never tried before, we now feel so familiar with Lil Havana and we can't wait to return and visit all the restaurants to eat, drink, dance and buy souvenirs. I'm recommending this to my friends and family from Los Angeles who want to visit Miami to definitely do this tour. Thank you Ariel for all the wonderful memories that my family and I made here :)
