Superb - Charlie’s a fifth generation Ybor resident who seems to know everything about the neighborhood. We entered the Cuban Social Club building and he brought the past of the social club to life. Other descriptions were the 7th Ave in the past, the rise and fall of the cigar industry, Jose Marti’s time in Ybor, and urban ‘renewal’.
Much more. Lively and vivid.

Great tour guide - Very interesting tour of Ybor City. Learned the history in a fun and interesting way. Would do this tour again.
The guide, Max, had lots of information to share and told us current information about Ybor City as well as its history. We ended the tour with a short film at the visitor information center.

Go with Joe - Joe was our fantastic guide, a historian and passionate about embracing this area. It was an easy walk with shaded stops along the way to sit if needed. The ingenuity of how Ybor was developed by different cultures was fascinating. At the end there was a short video to pull it all together. Thank you Joe for your expertise and wonderful speaking delivery
