Our Story
Christine Michaels a native Floridian (pictured above) is the creator of Little Havana Tours going back a decade. She fell in love with her new home when moving to Miami in 1997 and all its colorful history and cultural influences from the people, customs, food, music and art. Appreciative of her Hispanic and European heritage and armed with a Master’s degree in business and a distinct passion for the fabric of intercultural communities, Christine decided to launch Little Havana Tours (under the umbrella of Art Deco Tours) and showcase this tucked away historic neighborhood. Not only was Little Havana Tours one of the first privately owned walking tour companies in Miami to offer daily cultural tours, she was the first female to do so. Guests spanning the globe enjoy the boutique, semi-private tour service with an in-depth glimpse into the daily life, influences and traditions of the Cuban culture in Miami. In reading the rave reviews online, it is clear Christine’s middle name should be “passion”. She gives 110% and would rather be leading tours immersing guests into the culture than working in the office.
Joining her are Ralph de la Portilla and Danny Vaisman.
Danny, a 40 year resident of Little Havana is a long-time business man as well. However retirement was too slow for Danny. He found his new calling in leading Little Havana tours. Combining his love for the neighborhood, his personal and business ties to the community and eyewitness accounts of the evolving history, Danny is a natural and is one of the most popular guides in Little Havana. He deftly balances his witty, edgy humor with insightful knowledge of the local history.
Ralph de la Portilla is one the longest-serving tour guides in Little Havana serving as free-lance guide for only a handful of elite companies including operators that host tours in Cuba. An American born Cuban, Ralph has lead tours for 13 years. A former adjunct professor and current job working for the US Census, Ralph has a thumb on past and current demographics and trends. His eloquent delivery is carefully tailored to each audience group from academics, families, corporate types and special occasion groups.
