Welcome to the Little Havana Walking Tour

Take a private tour with an experienced, local resident and guide through one of Miami's oldest neighborhoods where waves of events changed the landscape every decade.

This is a two hour walking tour through a humble but lively neighborhood, a kaleidoscope of culture, traditional customs, and vivid colors. Weave in and out of streets that mark the site of secret ritual offerings, the very location where the Bay of Pigs was planned,  and the fountain of youth called Dominoe Park. Sample pure sugar cane juice from a local fruit market, the classic Cuban Sandwich at family restaurant, and watch cigar rollers follow a decades-old technique to create the finest cigars. The owner, a third generation cigar roller, shares the history and myth vs. fact.

Enjoy this boutique service, where Christine Michaels can answer any questions about the history, the people, the politics. Christine is also bilingual and speaks fluent Spanish should the need arise to translate.  She'll also gladly take your photos for your entire group so no one is left out. It's like having a concierge, tour guide, local friend all in one.
