Ten Guests, One Host, and Two Hours of Little Havana
Cuban coffee, a working cigar factory, the domino tables and the Bay of Pigs memorial, inside about nine blocks of Little Havana.
About nine blocks and six stops, at a pace that leaves room to ask things. The operator runs this walk without any amplification. The group is small enough not to need it, and a question asked halfway down a block gets answered where you are standing.
The stops are short and specific. Five minutes at the Bay of Pigs memorial on Cuban Memorial Boulevard. Ten inside a working cigar factory. Ten in a museum and performing arts center owned by a Cuban art collector. Five at the domino tables on Calle Ocho. Cuban coffee is included, and so are soft drinks.
Booking runs through Viator. The walk holds 4.99 from 246 reviews, and departures are at 11:00 AM, 1:30 PM and 4:00 PM, seven days a week.

The walk starts and ends at the same address, which makes the afternoon easy to plan around. Between those two points the host works through six places.
- Bay of Pigs memorial, five minutes, on Cuban Memorial Boulevard
- Ball & Chain, ten minutes, a Calle Ocho bar whose own history page dates the saloon to 1935 and records Count Basie playing there in January 1957
- Cubaocho, ten minutes, a museum and performing arts center the operator describes as holding one of the largest rum collections in Florida
- Cuba Tobacco Cigar Co, ten minutes, where cigars are rolled and boxed by hand
- Domino Park, five minutes, at Calle Ocho and SW 15th Avenue
- Tower Theater, seen from the street
Cubaocho's own hours close the museum on Mondays and open it on Sundays from 11:00 a.m. The operator's itinerary flags both days as closed. Departures run all seven days, so a Monday walk misses that door for certain, and a Sunday walk is worth one question to the office before booking.
Coffee, Cigars, and the Walls in Between
The coffee stop is written into the ticket. Tea, coffee and soft drinks are covered; the host's gratuity is the one cost the operator lists as extra. The cigar factory visit is covered too, and the operator's description has guests watching master torcedores roll and box cigars by hand.
Cuba Tobacco Cigar Co puts its family's cigar making at more than a hundred years, and says the Bello family opened the Little Havana factory in 1994 and began making Havana Sunrise there. That stop is ten minutes of the two hours. What happens at the counter afterwards is a separate decision.
Murals fill the distance between stops, on side walls and on roll-down shutters, and the painted roosters stand on the sidewalks between them.
Who Is Walking You Around
The operator introduces its guides by name on its own site. Noël founded the company and has guided in Miami since 1988, after starting out in tourism and hospitality in the 1980s. Hugo earned a degree teaching English as a second language in 2002 and has spent more than eleven years guiding, interpreting and translating in Spanish and English. Jojo is a Miami native who lives in Little Havana and teaches employability and life skills to young adults with disabilities. Raúl was born in Havana and has spent over twenty five years as a Spanish teacher and tour guide.
Tours run in English and Spanish. A guest who walked in March 2026 wrote that Raúl "conducted the tour in English and Spanish" and took the time to address a Colombian companion in Spanish "so she could follow along."
Before You Book
- Wheelchair accessible, and the operator rates it suitable for all physical fitness levels
- Prams and strollers are fine, and service animals are allowed
- Children aged 7 to 12 book from USD 47; anyone 13 and over books as an adult from USD 62, and every booking needs an adult on it
- A full refund needs a cancellation at least 24 hours before the departure time.
- Solo travelers can call the operator's office to be added to a tour that is already scheduled
- Public transport runs nearby, and the operator warns that Miami traffic and parking make late arrivals easy
Departures run seven days a week at 11:00 AM, 1:30 PM and 4:00 PM. The last one puts the whole walk into the late afternoon.
The walk begins and ends at 1600 SW 8th Street, under the pink awning of the Little Havana Visitor's Center. The pin on this page marks that door. Look for a teal polo with the Miami WOW Tours logo on it. Arrive a few minutes early; the operator does not hold a departure for a late guest.
Two hours later you are back on the same block, with Calle Ocho open in both directions.
