About Your Guide
I live in Little Havana and love it. Gringa by birth but culturally mixed by life experience, I’m dedicated to promoting this place. I am fluent in English, Spanish and Spanglish.
In addition to offering tours, I publish LittleHavanaGuide.com, an online guide and blog for Little Havana. I co-founded the neighborhood’s new Chamber of Commerce and am the former Director of Viernes Culturales, Little Havana’s monthly arts festival. I am a very active leader and community advocate.
I have led tours of the neighborhood since 2006, and have also served as the Little Havana guide for Miami Culinary Tours (MCT). During my time with MCT, many of the guests I took on tours “called back to say that the tour with Corinna was one of the best things they have done in Miami,” says Grace Della, MCT’s owner.
In addition to graduate level academic work in Cultural Studies, I have researched Latino folk, cultural and religious traditions for more than 20 years, learning from mural artists, musicians, dancers, small business owners, healers, Santeros, community teatro organizers, activists and others.
I abide by the principles of geotourism (sustainable, socially conscious tourism) and in doing do strive to help fellow community members enhance and preserve what we love about this place.
Testimonials About My Tours
“Although I have been familiar with Calle Ocho and Little Havana for a couple decades (I formerly lived in Miami and conducted research there), Corinna was able to provide a great deal of new information that would be available only to a resident and someone who lived with the local culture daily. She did so in a way that was not only interesting and vivacious, but was able to explain things to participants at a variety of different levels. And it was clear that she was liked and respected in the neighborhood. This was by far one of the best tours I have ever been on.”
— Tina Bucuvalas (President of the Florida Folklore Society and former State Folklorist and Director of the Florida Folklife Program of the Florida Department of State)
“… Bottomline, she is a gifted guide who is passionate about the culture. My daughter told me to stop telling her about the tour because she was mad she didn’t come. We are going to do the tour again in December with my wife and daughter as well.”
– Steve (Ohio)
“Our guide Corinna was passionate about Little Havana and knows it inside and out. The tour let our group be insiders for a day and get to know the real people, places and treasures of the area. We had a blast! I couldn’t recommend this experience more highly.”
– Jessie (Boston, MA)
“… one of the most enjoyable experiences I have ever had on vacation! Thanks for the cultural experience!”
– Whitney (Chicago, IL)
“Corinna is one of the best tour guides I have ever worked with. Her knowledge of Little Havana makes her an authority to be respected in the neighborhood. She passionately guided guests from Miami Culinary Tours, many of whom have called back to say that the tour with Corinna was one of the best things they have done in Miami.”
– Grace Della, Founder of Miami Culinary Tours
“The tour was superb. Corinna will take you to the most interesting and eclectic places in Little Havana.”
– David (Key West, FL)
“The energy and enthusiasm you showed was contagious and helped spark some great discussions about Little Havana and Miami in general.”
– Eddie Padilla (Miami, FL)
“Corinna had boundless energy and was incredibly knowledgeable about every topic. Walking through Little Havana, Corinna would exchange greetings with passersby and it was clear that she is a beloved member of this community. All the participants in our program really enjoyed getting to see this legendary neighborhood up close. I highly recommend Corinna and Little Havana Guide Tours.â€
– Meredith Mashner, International Program Manager, Arcadia University
“A Little Havana resident and local leader, Corinna showcases our wonderful Little Havana to the world with the same commitment and passion every single time. Viernes Culturales/ Cultural Fridays considers Corinna a true advocate, friend and part of Little Havana.â€

Join us on Obscura Day for an exploration of the extraordinary architecture of the Coral Castle.
Turning a broken heart into a miraculous work of art, Ed Leedskalnin built the marvelous Coral Castle in honor of the woman who left him the day before their wedding. Not only amazing to behold, because of its strange beauty, the Castle includes some pretty serious feats of engineering. Somehow Ed, at 100 lbs and just over 5 feet tallmanaged to wrangle towering chunks of Oolitic Limestone (fossilized coral) over 25 feet tall and weighing over 30 tons into place. When pressed, Ed would only say that he knew the secrets used to build the ancient Egyptian pyramids.
Inspired by its beauty and sad love story, Billy Idol was moved to his hit song, “Sweet Sixteen” about Ed and his lost love.
Join us for a private tour at 2pm.

Our self-guided Tour of Kitchens offers something for everyone. The tour will showcase some of Coral Gables’ most spectacular designer kitchens, local area restaurants, and sought-after chefs. To tempt your taste buds, each kitchen will offer a cooking demonstration or tasting (some will have both!) by a favorite local restaurant chef. Each of the homes will feature unique and stunning designer table settings that are sure to inspire! Also included are special features along the way such as napkin folding origami, foodie merchandise, home goods from local purveyors, and an optional presentation on Kitchen Design by nationally recognized Kitchen Designer, Julia Johnston.
You can begin your tour as early as 9:00 a.m. at the SNAIDERO Showroom where you will kick off the Tour with breakfast treats, mimosas, and coffee. At that time you will receive your complimentary goodie bag containing sponsor gifts, and a map of tour stops. Once you leave SNAIDERO, you can visit any or all of the kitchens in any order at your convenience between 9:00 a.m. and 1:45 p.m., and enjoy brunch and lunch samplings along the way.
Your kitchen tour will conclude with Champagne & Dessert at the Coral Gables Museum between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. with regional celebrity chefs, food consultants, and authors providing demonstrations, signing books, and offering tips for success in the kitchen.
The ticket price includes all of the above (excluding any purchases made from on-site vendors offering merchandise)—beautiful homes, fabulous kitchens, tasty samplings of food and adult beverages, local celebrity chefs, designer table settings, recipes and much, much more! Join us for one of the most highly anticipated fund raisers of the year. You may take the Tour only or attend only the Soirée but your ticket includes both.
