Ybor City Historical Walking Tour Among the growing list of Ybor City walking tours, this daily event takes attendees down Seventh Avenue and promises “encyclopedic knowledge of Ybor City.” If you’ve not been to the Cuban-owned Parque Jose Marti, this is an opportune time to do so. You can also expect to hear about Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders, as well as the corrupt past of the mobsters that called this area home. The Ybor City Historical Walking Tour is $30 for adults and $10 for kids 12 and under.Photo via Visit Tampa Bay
