Have you ever been on a guided historic tour of Ybor City? A group of us from just had that privilege.
After living here over 20 years, I was amazed at what I DIDN'T know about Ybor and how rich in history the area is! You go to eat or be entertained but you never think of all the lives Ybor had from the days it was founded in swamp lands by Vicente Martinez Ybor to the times of the Columbia Restaurant.

Lonnie Herman conducts tours twice a day, five days a week. He's a delightful tour guide. He is knowledgeable and passionate about Ybor.
Our group came away with a much better appreciation of the area after the tour -- and we had a great time! If you're interested, look up Ybor City Historic Walking Tours online.
