Hola! My name is Alberto from Miami.I have more than 15 years as a tour guide or tour director. As a tour guide, I do love sharing with enthusiasm the history, architecture and the rich culture of the little havana neighborhood, the amazing and breathtaking street art in Wynwood district or a short walk by the Miami Beach learning about the coastal systems. I love to share my acknowledge in the vibrant city of Miami in all aspect. I’m a very creative and fun person who likes meeting new people, and who passionately loves this work in tourism. I also like to combine storytelling with tasting some drinks like the cortadito (Cuban coffee), pastelitos (turnover) or guarapo (sugar cane drink). They are delicious and they are part of the rich diversity that Miami have to offer.
