We had an excellent tour today with Surch! He combined food and historical knowledge very well. The tour was well paced and the food was great. We had a Cuban sandwich, shepherd’s pie, veggie calzone, mini cannolis and a cafe con leche. All excellent. They even gave us a souvenir cigar!
A Great Tour for Locals and Tourists

An excellent tour of this historic district of Tampa, FL. The guide Sanch was personable, knowledgeable and friendly and the food was ample and tasty. Well worth doing whether a resident or tourist. The area itself is presently a little run down, although quite clean, but is undergoing some gentrification which will hopefully encourage more boutique and family businesses into the available spaces.

Our guide, Surch was very knowledgeable and friendly. This tour was a great mix between culture and food. Highly recommend to anyone new to the area or even if you’ve lived here for a while and haven’t learned about the history of Ybor City.
