The tour includes stops at the oldest farmer's market in Miami to see tropical fruits and sample fresh juice. At Domino Park, guests watch locals play dominoes, a longtime community tradition. The guide introduces a museum and art gallery housing a significant Cuban art collection. Visitors observe skilled taqueros hand-rolling tobacco leaves to make cigars.
