Little Havana is one of Miami's most culturally rich spots that showcase Cuban culture and history. The smells of frying steaks and plantains wafts out of restaurants and mixes with the scent of strong Cuban coffee coming from walk-up windows. The strong beats and passionate melody of live Cuban salsa music is heard for blocks as Miami traffic rushes by. Cigar shops and domino players, bars, and art stores, ice cream shops and monuments fill the streets. Our tour will help you understand the scene, learn about the history of Cubans in Miami and deepen your appreciation of the culture. This tour takes you on a journey through the famous 'Calle Ocho' (8th street) where the street is bubbling with people, culture and flavor.
