Fun and informative tour
Nice pace-not too fast or too slow. We forgot our water bottles-but that’s on us. Our tour guide, Charlie, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He had so much information to share. Felt we got a great understanding of Ybor City and Cuban history. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous historic walking tour.
Max was a great tour guide. He was excited to tell us all the stories regarding the history of Ybor City. He is excited to share this history and that was evident in his presentation. I usually have trouble “hearing” guides as I do wear hearing aids - but had absolutely no trouble hearing Max’s stories. Highly recommend this tour.
