It was Mothers Day when we booked this excursion and we learned so much from Jamal. It was a small group, treated us like he’s known us for years. We are fairly novice to cigars and left with a wealth of information. Absolutely incredible.

Amazing experience. 1 of the best tours I’ve ever been on. So much fun. Lots of knowledge and interesting places visited.

Jamal was amazing 👏🏾! Extremely well versed on the cigar culture and history in Tampa. He was adaptive to his passengers and engaging. The bus was very comfortable, clean, and the sound system was great. Jamal has a great reputation with the vendors and the discount was an extra bonus. Besides the cigar portion, he was a great resource of knowledge about things to do in Tampa and surrounding area. Highly recommended 👌🏾

The guide "Jamal" was fantastic! Not only did we get a Cigar tour, we learned new things about Tampa. He was very personal and attentive. Every stop had a different vibe! The bus was clean! Highly recommended and would return with friends.

Great time with some good folks and good cigars. Knowledgeable tour guide and well managed for a tour
Dakota_A, Aug 2025
Truly an amazing experience. Jamal is very knowledgeable about the attractions/ locations in Tampa and cigars. The 4 cigar lounges we were taken to were exquisitely selected, each offering its unique style. Each lounge showcases a curated collection of cigars and different vibe. Even though this experience was mainly for my spouse who enjoys smoking cigars, I still had a ball and learned a few new things about cigars. I will definitely recommend this experience to both experienced and inexperienced cigar smokers who will enjoy sightseeing, smoking, and congregating with friends old and new.

Ruth_N, Jun 2025
Absolutely amazing tour. Jamal was very knowledgeable about all things cigars. We visited some nice lounges also. It was a 10 out 10, and I would most definitely book it again.
Andrea_C, Jun 2025
I made a reservation and got a confirmation for a tour and no one showed up. Now I have to wait for a refund. We are from out of town so it was very disappointing going there for nothing.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Andrea we are so sorry for the discrepancy with your reservation and we definitely understand your frustration. Unfortunately on our end the only information provided to us through Viator was that you were refunded for your tour. This led us to believe that you were not taking the tour. We had no further communication that you still had a tour booked and if you would like to see that documentation it is available to you at any time. Upon speaking with you we offered a different date and time, and also a discount for a future visit if you ever make it back to Tampa. We have also spoken with Viator to advise them to rectify this situation. Please let us know if we can do anything further to assist you.

If you are in Tampa and are interested in cigars, you have to go on this tour! I am new to the cigar world, but our tour guide was very patient and knowledgeable. He showed us different cigars based on our preference and also the techniques to enjoy cigars. It was so much fun exploring different parts of the city that are part of the cigar community. You need to go on this tour. Such a great cultural experience in the heart of Ybor city in Tampa.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you! We are so happy you had an amazing experience with us.
Monique_B, Mar 2025
This was the BEST tour we have ever been on. Jamal was excellent!!! He took us to 4 great cigar locations, gave us some historical views in "the scrub", had awesome Afro Cuban music playing, and it was so much fun. We smoked, drank, saw the beauty of Tampa all in the comfort of a cool & spacious mini van. This is a MUST DO TOUR if you are in Tampa!!! A+++ TOUR with a magnificent tour guide. It is worth the money.
Response from Host, Apr 2025

We appreciate you hanging with us on the Minibus!
David_M, Feb 2025
From our meeting at the J.C. Newman Cigar Company to drinks at sunset our Guide Jamal was an absolute pleasure! Knowledgable, friendly and fun are just a few words that describe Jamal. He has a great relationship with the businesses we toured and we experienced the friendship he has developed with the people who operate those Cigar Lounges. He has great recommendations for drinks that pair well with the cigars we smoked and knows each lounges' specialties. If you enjoy cigars, this tour is a must in Tampa/Ybor! Don't miss it!
Response from Host, Feb 2025
We really appreciate the time spent with Tampa Minibus Tours and are so happy you enjoyed the experience.
Muhammad_M, Jan 2025
Jamal was super knowledgeable about the rich cigar history of Tampa/Ybor City. The tour includes all of the best known cigar spots in the area. You also get 10% off drinks and cigar at certain stops on the tour. I had the best mojito ever and cuban coffee on the tour. I would absolutely recommend the tour for cigar enthusiasts and people just getting into cigars as Jamal provides a bunch of pro tip on smoking cigars. One of the best tours in Tampa!
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you Muhammad. Also, if you’re interested, cigar week in Tampa will be March 19th - 23rd.
Marcia_L, Dec 2024
