Ybor city has such a rich history of both economic and cultural success built on a diverse population of immigrants working together. Frank did a wonderful job telling the stories of the neighborhood and the food was a delectable range of local tastes. Absolutely worth the visit!

This confusing tour led us on to a local brewery for their chicken wings and then nearly two hours later for “authentic” New York style pizza. Bizarre. The tour guide new a lot about the city but stopping to see their 9/11 memorial didn’t appear to be a great use of the time when our 3 hour tour ran 1 1/2 hours long. It wasn’t until nearly three hours in we finally tried something more native. Near the end I ordered a coffee only to be told as soon as I got that our last stop would be getting coffees. Just not one of the good ones. Really annoyed we had to cancel plans we had for after this.

Hi Tourists, we are MORE than honored that you choose to visit Ybor City and learn the history of our town. Unfortunately, your tour day fell on one of the BUSIEST DAYS in Ybor City as we celebrated 2019 Krewe of Sant' Yago Knight Parade. All of our restaurants are overwhelming busy making it impossible to stay on our time-restricted schedule. So our tours AKWAYS run late on this day. We welcome you back again during normal days to relish the great food and fun in Ybor. As far as food choices, we only use the selections as a platform to help you understand and learn of the cultures that made up Ybor City. We stop at a German Brewery and Savor The Taste Of Germany by having Beer-Battered Wings, and later move on to Savor The Taste Of Italy thru it's authentic Mahgharita Pizza. Our other stops also help you learn about the 2 other cultures: Spanish & Cuban. We hope this helped elaborate on our food choices, and WELCOME you back anytime for one of our other tours like the Farmer's Market, or Our Dog Friendly Tour. Ybor City is so rich in culture, I'm sure you'll love it time and time again. Wen welcome your comments and thanks for your review!!!

Cindy our tour guide was excellent! She gave us a history of Tampa and the cigar capital of the US! #cigarcity #nicahabana! I highly recommend this tour if you like to eat, grab a drink and get a little culture.
