MIAMI RUM TOURS
Good rum tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Walk Little Havana with a local guide such as Ariel, Robyn, Bethany, or Ria. You’ll taste Cuban coffee, rum, snacks, and possibly local sweets, then visit a cigar shop to watch hand-rolled cigars being made. The tour lasts about 2.5 hours, covers roughly half a mile, and begins and ends on Calle Ocho.
Meet at the Bay of Pigs Monument for a two-hour Spanish-language walk through Little Havana. Watch cigar rolling, enjoy Cuban coffee, taste three premium rums and a mojito, and finish at Cubaocho. Guides including Hugo and Darine add history, local customs, and plenty of personality.
“Tour was excellent. I couldn’t recommend it more.”
Spend 75 minutes with an English-speaking local guide at two family-run Little Havana businesses. Watch cigar rolling, visit a Cuban guayabera and hat shop replica, hear stories of migration and political imprisonment, sample cafecito, pastry, and Caribbean rum, and take photos beside classic cars and murals.
“It was a great tour. Learned a lot about the history and the family. Our guide was great. There was a lot of fun.”
In Little Havana, a private guide introduces you to tobacco growing, cigar rolling, cigar lighting, and Cuban rum. You’ll taste three rums, a mojito, Cuban coffee, juices, soda, and small Cuban bites, with cigars included. Christine has led the experience with warmth and strong subject knowledge.
Pick an island, a still house or a bench with five glasses on it.
