Adventure through Cuba


Are you ready for an authentic Cuban experience? Join us in Havana for 6 days/5 nights and immerse yourself in the essence of this highly cultural island. Our private tours will give you a panoramic view and opportunity to witness a city trapped in time. Havana captures the imagination like no other — the sights and sounds of the city are lively and inviting, just like the people who inhabit it.  We’ll stroll along the famous Malecón (Havana’s legendary seaside boulevard), experience the cobblestone streets of Old Havana. and visit historic landmarks while discovering the city’s best-kept secrets.

During your visit, you’ll have the chance to dance to salsa music, shop at open-air bazaars and enjoy parties that last all night. It wouldn’t be a true experience if you didn’t get to meet the gregarious Rumba ladies at Plaza La Catedral. Their job is luring visitors to take photos with them for a tip — your memorable pics will have a story to tell like no other. You’ll also have the opportunity to interact with the “tobacco grandmas, “card readers and contribute to private enterprises in Cuba.
