The experience

The tour starts in Little Havana and moves through the neighborhood's most active gathering spots. You'll watch locals play dominoes for bragging rights at Domino Park, the rhythmic sound of tiles shuffling and animated conversation filling the space. At Party Cake Bakery, you sample Cuban pastries and sodas: flaky pastelitos and creamy tres leches cake that have been served to the neighborhood for generations. The cigar factory stop lets you watch rollers work fresh cigars by hand while you drink Cuban coffee and browse if you want to buy.

A historic fruit market run by the same owners since the 1960s is where you'll taste freshly pressed sugarcane juice and hear how they arrived in a new city and built a life from nothing. The owners share their story directly. Entry to the Havana Collection Experience (a newly opened mini-museum inside a store) is included. It holds art, museum-quality displays and relics you won't find anywhere else in the neighborhood, each with its own story attached.

The guide is Cuban or Cuban American, and the tour runs in English or Spanish. You can add a full Cuban meal or a rum tasting at checkout. The neighborhood is wheelchair accessible, and the tour suits all fitness levels.
