Step into the cultural heartbeat of Miami on this Little Havana Food Tour, a guided walk through Calle Ocho, where Cuban history, music, and food come together in one of the most iconic neighbourhoods in the United States.
While South Beach grabs the spotlight, Little Havana is where Miami's soul truly lives. This historic district, officially recognised as a National Treasure, is packed with family-owned businesses, shaded plazas, and traditions passed down for generations. On this experience, you'll taste your way through the neighbourhood while uncovering the stories that shaped modern Miami.
Your tour begins at the Bay of Pigs Monument, where your guide introduces the powerful history of exile, resilience, and identity that defines the area. From there, you'll stroll past the José Martí Memorial and step inside a traditional Cuban bakery to enjoy flaky pastelitos de guava and classic ham croquetas, staples of everyday Cuban life.
Next, go behind the scenes at an authentic cigar factory, watching skilled artisans hand-roll cigars using old-world techniques and visit a guayabera shop before a strong Cuban coffee break. The flavours continue with a perfectly pressed Cuban sandwich and refreshing Materva soda, as your guide explains how Little Havana evolved into a global cultural landmark. You'll then sit down to enjoy a traditional Cuban meal featuring slow-cooked ropa vieja, moros, and sweet maduros, showcasing the depth of Cuban home cooking.
To top it all off, you'll taste our Secret Dish, revealed only on the day of the tour.
You will visit landmark Little Havana sites and end the tour with a traditional, family style meal in a hidden courtyard right on Calle Ocho. Upgraded Drinks Package is available.
