We've been on several food tours and this was by far the worst. Most of the food was of such low quality that it ended up in the trash. Our guide, Faruk, commented that "most people hate this one" and (looking at the overflowing garbage with our tossed food), "Everyone is too full to eat the Cuban?". We were not full. The food was not good. Politics should have been avoided by everyone on a tour yet Faruk managed to tell each guset what was wrong with their home city/state, and repeatedly brought up inflamatory (and sometimes bizzare) opinions regarding local, state and national politics, and the legitimacy of COVID. When not sharing his political views he shared "facts" like, "Elian Gonzalas was kidnapped by the people of Little Havana and they wanted to impress all the camera crews that came to the area so that is how the tourist area of Little Havana came to be". Two group members walked away from the tour before it was even over. It was three gruelling hours trying to be polite to an offensive man. The only edible items were the Cuban coffee and tiny cup of sugarcane water.

WoW, WoW, WoW. I first want to say that in not even one percent any of this review is true. If I didn't guide the tour I would maybe believe that some of the other guides really did something wrong. Luckily there is always an option for the other side of the story to be told and there are other two groups on the same day who left an excellent review and said all was perfect. First, I want to say that politics was spoken on the tour, but only in a historical context, and the influence Cuban American politics had so the Little Havana communities were formed. Elian Gonzales's so-called "Kidnapping" was mentioned, but only in a way that the Castros government was trying to portray it as such. We are all proud of the community's efforts to ensure a much better future for him. There were no camera crew impressing mentioned. BS. Little Havana existed way before that historical event and it will for long after. I said it's the city that decided to invest more in the area to have a central place for community events, like Viernes Culturales or other events that promote local culture and I even introduced everyone to the lady that organizes the community events. Those two stories are not connected at all, whatsoever. As far as for Covid19 talk, I only speak about it before the tour when I ask people if they had any symptoms or share the recommended info from CDC on mask mandates. My whole family had the COVID19 and I ended up in a hospital because of it. I have no clue what you are talking about. Completely. As far as the food, each one of the places is selected so to try tastings of their best food. This is the first time I ever hear someone complain. Some of these restaurants are world famous. The Cuban sandwich tasting spot is one of the staples of our community and we will continue to work together in the future. I just feel bitterness and anger in your review and hopefully, you will find your peace, but it's not nice to lie and slander. I will take this criticism and hope to do better every day and maybe make sure your next Miami visit will be more pleasant.
