Our guide was O.K. and the history interesting, but the food and venue choices were terrible. First place was a brewery and we had chicken wings. Next a New York pizza place where we got a slice of cheese pizza. How do these in any way represent Latin food?! We did get half a cuban sandwich but it has so little on it you could only taste the bread and mustard. I overheard others on the tour complaining about the sandwich as well, saying that is the main reason they went on the tour. Last we visited a cigar bar to have a dessert empanada. It smelled like cigar smoke - awful, especially if you don't smoke. We had a big group and most of us had to stand outside holding a coffee and fruit pastry. Not a good way to end the tour. My sister had gotten the tour tickets for us and I felt so sorry for her that it turned out to be such a bad experience. I was interested since I have company coming next month and thought this tour might be a good thing to take them to. Now definitely not!!

Hi Beth, we are so happy your were able to experience our beautiful, historical town of Ybor City. We wanted to take a few moments to thank you dearly for your review, it truly does mean a lot. Since 2014 we have been established to be a HISTORY walking tour with food used as a platform for each culture. Ybor City was started with 4 Cultures: Italians, Spanish, Cubans, And Germans. We have strategically poised our food locations to be used as a platform for our Tour Guides to elaborate about that culture. Thus the reason for visiting a Brewery, to speak about the Germans. We go to a Pizzeria Restaurante to discuss the Italians. We go to a Cuban Sandwich shop to speak on Cubans. We visit a Cigar Shop since we are the Cigar Capital of the world. We also savor the Taste of Spain by enjoying empanadas & Tampa's signature coffee, Cafe Con Leche. We hope this has helped a bit to explain our food choices, and we certainly do hope you enjoyed the history we have in our town. Feel free to reach out to us anytime for more clarity, we only aim to be the best food walking tour in Florida but realize we can only grow when we have happy customers. Thanks again for your review! We welcome you back on another type of tour, even our Scavenger Hunt Tour designed for friends & families.
