Calle Ocho doesn't slow down for anyone, and this tour leans right into it. In two hours, you'll eat, sip, and stroll through the landmarks, flavours, and living history that make Little Havana the true soul of Miami.
It starts at the Bay of Pigs Monument, where the stories of the 1960s Cuban migration set the scene. From there, the neighbourhood unfolds: colourful Rooster sculptures, the José Martí Memorial, the Map of Cuba, and Domino Park, where Celia Cruz and Gloria Estefan have their place on the Walk of Fame.
Then the food takes over. Fresh Guarapo juice at a neighbourhood fruteria, flaky guava pastelitos and ham croquetas from a family-run bakery, a punchy Cuban coffee, crispy mariquitas, and a perfectly pressed Cuban sandwich. The tour closes watching master cigar rollers at work, a craft as much a part of Calle Ocho as the food itself.
Book a spot in a small group, or make it yours entirely. Private options are available for those who want the full experience to themselves.
