Overview

Step into the spirited heart of Miami, where the aromatic scent of roasted coffee and the rhythmic click of dominoes welcome you to Little Havana, the true American home of the Cuban diaspora. While the beaches of Miami get the headlines, this historic neighborhood is where the city’s soul resides—a vibrant enclave built on deep-rooted traditions!
On this Express Tour, we’ll move beyond the surface to uncover the highlights and curiosities that define "Calle Ocho". From the storied history of the 1960s exile migration to the colorful art that decorates every corner, you’ll experience the evolution of this cultural landmark through its most authentic flavors. We’ll introduce you to the local masters—from the cigar rollers keeping century-old techniques alive to the chefs serving up the city’s most iconic bites.
Join us to explore the heritage and luxurious spirit of the Cuban people, one quick, delicious stop at a time. Come hungry for culture, leave as a local!
