In 45 minutes we had walked no more than 20 yards and then stood in an empty car park. All the guide Charlie spoke on was cigars, it was terrible and such an interesting place. Do not book

Charlie was an entertaining and informative host. The tour itself was quite interesting and really emphasized the unique history of Ybor City. Charlie answered a lot of questions as only one with a long personal history with the city could. Who knew that one could stand in Cuba without ever leaving Florida? The tour was not too strenuous for the less active members of the group, and the pace was unhurried without being too slow. The price of the tour was definitely worth it for my family.

Guide Steve was very knowledgeable and interesting. There just wasn't much to see. It was also hot for the 2pm walk. I developed a headache and my friend was nauseous after the tour. The area was like a ghost town. Nothing open. No place to purchase a drink to help the headache. This was not our guides fault, just how our bodies responded to the afternoon walk. I would recommend an ealier time slot if possible, it was not possible for our group. We did learn lots about the area and I am glad that we went. Just be sure to wear large hats and take cold drinks with you. Perhaps one of the stops could have a small cooler in place containing cold drinks for purchase. That would have made a big difference

This is a must-do walking tour with Max Herman when in Tampa! Hands down the most interesting, historical tour you should not miss. Max Herman brought Ybor City to life! It was such an enlightening experience that we highly recommend! We are definitely signing up for more tours with Max Herman when we return to Tampa. Thank you, Max!
