Mariela.. I'm so glad that she was our tour guide today. I enjoyed her extensive knowledge of the area and her history of Little Havana in relation to Cuba. The food was amazing. The portions were so big, it was hard to finish it all. One of the best experiences I've had in Florida. 5-stars.

Mariella was a wonderful tour guide who is extremely passionate about food and culture, she was both personable and professional through it all. My boyfriend and I both agreed there were moments we even got a little emotional from her commentary all while enjoying wonderful food and seeing smiling faces amongst the community. We will be sure to recommend this tour to all our friends visiting the area as it’s a perfect representation of what Miami has to offer.
