Kayan was an excellent tour guide! He’s clearly passionate and knowledgeable about little Havana and Cuban culture. Would 10/10 recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for writing about your tour! It’s always encouraging to hear when guests feel comfortable throughout. We’d happily host you again on another Secret Food Tours.

Guide Kayan was excellent but we booked it because it did not list any food tasting as we're are restricted in what we can eat. The tour included food tasting at numerous places which we are sure was nice but not as advertised
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for your review and for joining us in Little Havana. After reviewing your booking, we can confirm that you joined our Little Havana Express Tour. This experience is designed to include select tastings rather than the full range offered on our longer tours. From time to time, specific items may also vary slightly depending on availability at our partner stops, but the overall experience remains consistent with what is outlined for this tour.
Still, we appreciate you sharing your thoughts and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again, perhaps on one of our full-length tours for a more extensive tasting experience.

Cesar was very knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic. Why do I need to say more? Minimum character requirements are annoying
Response from Host, Jan 2026

Aggressive walking not required, complimentary tasting, and a knowledgeable guide. I felt like I was absolutely in Cuba:

Great guide, Cesar, on this trip. Great details including strong coffee, pasteries, juices, and other treats. Highly recommended.
Carolyn_M, Nov 2024
Cesar was absolutely wonderful as our tour guide. He was so upbeat and friendly to not only us but store owners along the way. He really provided us insight to the history, culture and customs of the people who live in Little Havana.
I highly recommend Cesar to others who are interested in this walking tour!! Thank you for providing such a memorable event for our family

Trying out the foods and visiting the different shops. Learning some of the history and talking to some of the vendors.
Sanjeev_B, Apr 2024
Hugo was an enthusiastic & engaging tour guide. His personality made the tour, as well how he explained the history of Cubans in the area. Would have liked to have to seen more of the area — we walked maybe 2-3 blocks, tops — but what we did see was enjoyable.
JoePiatetsky, Apr 2024
We both loved this tour. What really made it was our guide HUGO. He was very informative and answered all our questions.
Mark_N, Apr 2024
We had a wonderful tour. We had a wonderful tour with Maria. She was full of personal and historical facts about Cuba and Little Havana.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you, Mark, for sharing your positive feedback on our Little Havana Introductory Walking Tour! We're glad you enjoyed the insightful commentary on both personal narratives and historical facts. We hope to see you again!
Thomas_F, Mar 2024
Our guide Maria has such a rich personal history with Cuba that she made the tour incredibly interesting. We have done many tours around the world, and this is one of the best we have ever experienced.

JeanM_S, Mar 2024
The guide brought Cuba to life in Little Havana by starting with history. Great food samples to represent Cuban crops, family traditions and businesses.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
We greatly appreciate your positive feedback, Jean! Your kind words encourage us to continue providing memorable experiences for our guests.
GVEdelstein, Feb 2024
Luis was our guide, and was a wonderful tour guide. He gave us lots of information, but not too much. He took us to great family run shops where we received a little treat at quite a few. That was fun as well as, learning the history and background of the shop or the items we were tasting.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
We're glad to have had you on our tour, GVEdelstein, and we can't wait to welcome you back!
Alan_B, Feb 2024
Really enjoyed touring Little Havana! Our guide, Luis, did an excellent job explaining Cuba's history, culture and people.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
We do make it a point to provide informative and engaging tours that showcase the unique aspects of Little Havana, Alan, and we're thrilled that you found it to be well worth it. We'll always be here to guide your next exploration!
John_H, Feb 2024
Luis was an excellent guide. We learned so much from him about Cuban culture and history. The stories he told about the Cuban exiles who settled in Little Havana were both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Probably the best tour we’ve taken.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
We're glad to have been a highlight among your tours, John, and look forward to welcoming you back. Until next time!
Bekeyl_S, Jan 2024
I enjoyed the experience and I liked stopping along the way at places and getting samples. It was a nice way to become more familiar with Little Havana!
Shena_B, Jan 2024
Learning about the Cuban history and the meaning behind the Guayabera shirts. The gorgeous tasting croquettes and delicious juice.
Rohit_N, Jan 2024
An absolute waste of time and money. Our guide was relatively new to Miami and did not provide any particular insight or knowledge about the little Havana neighborhood.
There was not much “walking” in this walking tour; we spent an inordinate amount of time at a fruit store and then a bakery where the guide kept repeating mundane details about plantains and other fruits.
The tour was confined to just 2-3 blocks along 8th street. We did not venture down any of the side streets or residential parts.
I was expecting to get a much more meaningful introduction to this historically significant neighborhood. This tour essentially visits 3-4 stores that we could have easily done on our own.
William_B, Dec 2023
Lewis Falcon was really great. He was very informative. This trip is great. The domino park and the Ball and Chair were the highlights for me. The taste of various drinks and food samples were awesome as well.
Martha_C, Dec 2023
Great all-round tour with history, food & present day experiences like cigar rolling and shirt making with roosters crowing in background.
Dereck_T, Nov 2023
The excursion was fabulous- our tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate. Not only did we get to hear the history of little Havana, but it was wonderful getting to sample some of the local cuisine. All in all great experience.
alissa_k, Jul 2023
Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area. We loved learning about the history AND the food was incredible!
Amber_M, Jul 2023
The whole thing was amazing, it is really hard to pick. Don’t change anything. Also the food recommendations were so on point!
Linda_C, May 2023
Tasty treats and history shared by a fun expert guide, Dr V. He included everyone and even though I was by myself, his friendly energy made everyone feel like we came as one group.

We had the best time on this tour. We learned so much from our guide about Little Havana, Miami, and Cuba. I am a native Miamian who took my friend who was visiting and I would recommend it to anyone -tourist or native.
Response from Host, May 2023

Dr V was excellent! Knowledgeable, engaging, great sense of humor! Highlight of my visit to Miami. Happy we chose the 10a tour - cooler, fewer people and congestion on a Sunday.
Mario_A, Sep 2022
We had a fantastic guide (Danny)! Hearing the history of Little Havana was great and of course the food tasting too.
Debra_W, Jul 2022
Danny was an amazing tour guide. He was knowledgeable, funny, and super energetic. He made our tour a lot of fun.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Hello Debra
Thank you for sharing your experience on the Little Havana Walking Tour (by Little Havana Tours-our logo is the red rooster)
Sightseeing and learning should be fun and that is our goal. What better way than with a guide who has lived in the area for 40 years and even owned some buildings that are now a famous Cuban bakery.
Yes and super energetic at 71! Tour guiding keeps him young at heart. A true passion.
Come back soon for our other tours to learn more about the mosaic Hispanic cultures of Little Havana.
Saludos,
Melissa_M, Jun 2022
