We learned so much about the Cuban culture and traditions. We learned that roosters climb trees! LOL. The artistry was amazing and the atmosphere in Little Havana was just as I remember as a child, friendly and festive. The pastry, coffee and sandwiches were absolutely delicious and Hoji's expertise and company were absolutely indescribable.

We live an hour away and have always wanted to do a food tour in Little Havana. Hoji did not disappoint. Yes, we had Cuban coffee, pastries, and a delicious Mojito, but the tour was much more than just food. Hoji was extremely knowledgeable about both Cuban history and Miami history that we learned an incredible amount. We definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Miami or to locals like us.

Don’t hesitate, book a tour with Hoji! You will not be disappointed. The Little Havana tour was a 10/10 experience and beyond our expectations. It was the highlight of our 4-day trip! Had we been on our own, we would have simply walked around and had good food, but from Hoji’s guidance, we learned about the deep history of the area and more about Cuban culture and the values and traditions of the local people. Hoji’s personality is dynamic and energizing, and his knowledge is vast. It was enjoyable to witness the vibrant interactions with people in the community who know Hoji too. He accommodated dietary restrictions, and also offered recommendations outside of Little Havana throughout Miami (including were to find free parking). We left full and happy, and we’re grateful for his time, knowledge, and generosity. We definitely recommend booking a tour with him!

My wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and were really excited about the Walking Tour of Little Havana. We were not disappointed! Our tour guide, Hoji could not have been a better choice! He was very well knowledged on the history and culture and the local establishments. The tastings were great and the walking was not at all exhausting. We were very impressed and the tour became the highpoint of our getaway. Fabulous!

Hoji was our guide and he is fabulous. As a Cuban himself, born and raised, he was able to give us his insight on the Cuban culture, and how it has evolved in Miami over the decades, He showed us many sights in Little Havana and also many stops for traditional Cuban food. We have taken several culinary tours, and this was one of the best. Thanks, Hoji!

The walking food tour with Hoji was fantastic. He was extremely informative, accommodating to my daughter being a vegetarian, and gave us so much fascinating history about Cuba as well as the community of Little Havana. The food was great and tied together well with the tour. Highlights were Domino Park, mojitos at the Ball and Chain, tasting authentic Cuban coffee, watching cigars being made, and hearing live music. Outstanding experience!

The Little Havana food and walking tour with Hoji was awesome! Hoji was an excellent tour guide, and I absolutely loved his personal story and knowledge. You will be very pleased with the food portions, and if you have Hoji as a tour guide you will not be disappointed. What really touched my heart was Hoji’s interaction with the owners on our stops, but more importantly with a homeless man. Book your tour TODAY!!!
