On our Secret Food Tour: Tampa, you'll enjoy a variety of classic bites.
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. Originally founded by Cuban, Spanish, and Italian cigar manufacturers in the late 1800s, Ybor has held onto its roots while evolving into a lively hub for food, music, and art. Day or night, you'll see an eclectic crowd strolling past colorful murals, exploring century-old buildings or gathering in outdoor cafés under the soft glow of string lights. 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.
