Li'l Havana: Two Family Shops Tour with Rum, Coffee & Pastry

Can’t spare almost three hours on a traditional tour? Want to get as much information about the history, customs, traditions, and nuances of this wildly unique city from a local expert? Care to snap some of the most legendary photos with Classic Cars and Cuban hats that will have your friends wondering if you actually went to Cuba?! All that with minimal walking involved, and just a little over one hour! By the time we’re through with you, you’ll be able to show others around the neighborhood, or enjoy the area on your own like a local. You'll grasp the significance of the centuries-old artisanal handcraft of cigar-rolIing; become versed on the history of the famed guayabera shirts; pore over Miami's unique coffee culture with a small exhibit by the renowned Cuban restaurant, Versailles; wade through the harrowing stories of refugees escaping to freedom; and soak up the heart-wrenching account of a political prisoner. Recently listed as an official “National Treasure,” this American ethnic enclave boasts many historical, political, artistic, and culinary contributions to Miami’s distinctive culture! Our small group sizes provide a rich experience that includes insider access to Little Havana’s newest attraction, The Havana Collection Experience, and also Havana Classic Cigars, immediately next door to each other! Savor an amazing pastry from a local, family-run bakery, and a curiously strong (and sweet!) concoction: A cafecito! All at our meeting spot… Also, we won't let you go without making a toast to our time together with a fine, aged Caribbean rum
