5.00Max is a great guide. He presented the history of Ybor city very pictorially, so that one could think well into this time. Through him I had the opportunity to visit some historical buildings from the inside

5.00Amazing tour—our guide Charlie truly made history come alive with the way he told the stories. It was so interesting to see Ybor City showcased in a way that highlights its incredible history. I live in Tampa, and this was my second time taking the tour, which says a lot. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone—whether you’re a local or just visiting.

5.00We enjoyed learning about historic Ybor City. Max was very knowledgeable and had an entertaining style of delivering. There is not a lot of walking, as everything is in a small area. We’ve recommended the tour to friends who are interested in Florida history
