Description
Explore the historic streets of Tampa's Ybor City with this gift certificate for a walking tour for four!
There is no better way to experience Ybor City than at street level on foot. This 90-minute walking tour includes a stroll down "La Septima Avenida" (Seventh Avenue), or "Broadway," as residents know it. Seventh Avenue is not just a street, but the heart of a special community, and has been designated one of the American Planning Association's Great Streets in America for its history and character.
The rich history of Ybor City encompasses manufacturing, immigration, organized crime and revolution. Teddy Roosevelt trained his Rough Riders here and walked the Ybor City streets with Cuban revolutionary Jose Marti. Ybor City has been designated a Historic Landmark District.
Experience a visa-free visit to the only Cuban-owned land in America; learn how the orders for the Cuban uprising against Spain were smuggled from Ybor City to Havana; discover the game of Bolita; and learn the fascinating history of how organized crime controlled Tampa for decades.
