Excellent tour of Hemingway home along with local food, drink & culture

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Janice. She was a wealth of information a d we learned so much about local food, history & culture. I was apprehensive to book such a long tour (4 hrs) but the variety of places we visited for food, drink & cultural experiences were fantastic. We highly recommend this tour! Arrive hungry!!!

Hemingway Experience

The experience was well planned and informative. The food was extremely good especially loved the sliders at Mangoes and the mojito at La Concha’s Tropicado Bar. An enjoyable experience from beginning to end.

Hemingway house and food/drink tour.

This tour was so much fun! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and such a fun person! I can’t remember her name, but she had a blond ponytail (Sorry). It was small group of 7 which made it more personal. (One of our group was going to be a guide for this same tour and was just doing a “ride along”). She also was delightful! The Hemingway house was amazing as were the 60+cats! Our food and drinks were excellent and all of our stops were great. 4 hours and worth the price! Highly recommend!
