From award winning Cuban sandwiches and deviled crab to handcrafted guava pastries from a critically acclaimed bakery, our experienced guides will take you through Ybor City, a vibrant neighborhood where history and modern culture collide in the best way possible.

From the bustling 7th Avenue to its hidden alleys and parks, Ybor City exudes an old-world charm blended with a bold, contemporary edge that feels like a little slice of Havana right in the heart of Tampa
