“Aimee and Val were excellent guides. They filled our time with interesting facts about Little Havana, it's history, as well as its culture that makes this area such a vibrant piece of Cuban-American pride. Despite being caught up in a torrential rainstorm, Aimee kept up a spirit that helped us all enjoy each other's company. We would highly recommend this tour next time you're in Miami. Rico”
