This tour was so much more than we expected. So much history, some really good food and drink. We had a tour guide (Surch) who was knowledgeable, entertaining, and very pleasant to spend 3 hours walking the streets and viewing a lively community. What a great experience!

Cindy was an excellent tour guide who shared a ton of history about the area with us. Much of what she shared had a personal connection as she is a lifelong Tampa resident. The food on the tour was excellent and plentiful! I would highly recommend this tour!
More historically informative than food tastings.

While the Cuban sandwich 🥪 and cafe con leche ☕ were AMAZING, there were no "mojitos, tapas, or flan" as mentioned in the description. In fact, the Cuban was prolly the best I ever had and not to take away from that, the other cuisines were German and Italian, which was neither expected nor mentioned in the description, so there was a little disappointment here as one would expect Cuban food from an Ybor food walking tour. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history. Note: you will be asked to sign several waivers and releases at the meeting point...
