Ricardo did an amazing job job. He is very knowledge about local cuisine, alcohol and overall how food culture has developed not only in Havana but other parts of Cuba. With many businesses close due to things in Cuba, Ricardo worked diligently to find vendors (they are very much mobile) and create an worthwhile experience. I was battling a stomach virus (unrelated) and Ricardo was very attentive to my needs, even looking for food items that would help me recover. Thank you Ricardo!

One of the best tours, period. Our guide (Hi Ricardo) shared all the essential information about street food in Havana. He took us to some fantastic places that we definitely wouldn’t have found on our own. Thanks to him, we had lobster at a price we never thought possible (€6) and discovered amazing spots. Excellent job—keep it up! Greetings from Ioana and Mihai.

Jose was an excellent tour guide. He gave us a lot of history along with showing us good places to get street food in Havana. The amount of food you will sample is more than enough for a full meal. It was great getting his perspective on today's Cuba. He was honest and open which I really appreciated. Jose was polite, respectful, and well spoken. Highly recommended.

Adorei a guia, super simpática e preocupada em perguntar se queríamos fazer alguma coisa fora do roteiro. Deu para trocar bastantes impressões sobre o estilo de vida em Havana. Contudo, sendo um street food, tivemos direito a experimentar pouco em comparação com o que estava retratado na reserva da tour. Translate this opinion into English.

I loved the guide, super friendly and concerned about asking if we wanted to do something off the itinerary. It was possible to exchange a lot of impressions about the lifestyle in Havana. However, being a street food, we had the right to try little compared to what was pictured in the tour reservation. Opinion translated. Show original.

We enjoyed our food tour, and especially our host, Ray. He has a wealth of knowledge about Old Havana and was informative. We appreciated his insight and our conversations with him. You will learn much about the history of Havana while at the same time sampling some local treats. I recommend this trip.

Jose was incredible! I had such an amazing time! He was very knowledgeable, not just on all things Cuba, but had such intricate and fascinating knowledge about the world. He was able to take me to some incredible places that showcased the ingenuity within the Cuban culture. As a female solo traveler, I also felt very safe with Jose, and definitely enjoyed learning more about Cuba! Book this tour, he knows all the hotspots, you will not be disappointed!

Our tour guide, Jose, was a joy to spend a few hours with. Our street food tour was on a Sunday (don't recommend going on a Sunday), so there were very few vendors out selling food. Jose did his best to try to find authentic street food for us to try despite few vendors. He had a rich knowledge of the current state of Cuba and answered all of our questions very thoroughly. Although we didn't have much food, we enjoyed getting to know Jose and learned a lot. I would recommend this tour.

Review: I had the pleasure of joining Claudia on her street food tour in Havana, Cuba and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. Claudia's knowledge and passion for the local cuisine and culture truly shined throughout the tour. Not only did she take us to some hidden gems and local favorites, but she also provided insightful stories and historical context behind each dish we tried. I highly recommend.

Our guide Claudia was great! We saw parts of the city and tried food that we would have missed without her, and she told us about the history of where we were and what we were eating and anything else we wanted to know about Cuba. The ice cream place at the end of the tour was fantastic!

Today I met Claudia and Michelle for our morning tour. They both made our morning getting through the city and learning so much about Cuba and their cultural food. They were helpful in many ways and very easy to be with. I hope many others can meet them and experience what they allowed me to experience. Thank you again for both of you!! I’m grateful to meet wonderful people !

Our tour guide was lovely and very knowledgeable. We had a great time touring around Old Havana and learning about history and culture. There was not a ton of street food available, which our guide said has been the case since covid. While we did have a nice time, booking a history tour might be more worth your while!

Gretchen was a wonderful english speaking guide. On our tour we had pizzas, guava pastries, fresh coconut water, sliced pineapple, tamales, elote and Ice Cream. She also took us to a churro vendor, but we were too full from the other food items! Gretchen was very knowledgeable about the types of street food and vendors that locals enjoy. The tour was shorter than 4 hours which worked for us since we were so full! Highly recommend this tour and Gretchen.

Espectacular el guía que nos hizo el tour. Nos enseñó “la otra Habana” como él decía. Nos llevó a un paladar, pero de verdad, a los que van los cubanos y con precios no turísticos. Luego nos enseñó el Callejón de Hamel, la Universidad de La Habana, el Vedado y nos descubrió otra comida típica, los tamales. Además nos aconsejó sitios que visitar y sitios donde comer el resto de nuestra estancia. Un 10 para Yoel!

El tour de oferta con una duración de 4 horas empezando a las 10, en 2 horas estábamos listos, el problema que si empiezas a las 10, acabas de desayunar. Si la duración es de 2 horas, se deberia de empezar a las 12. Nuestro desacuerdo es por el tiempo que se oferta y la hora de inicio. El trato bueno y lo visitado, interesante.
