We will tour the history of Havana through its streets, places of historical relevance and cultural richness, and what better way to do it than in a CONVERTIBLE CLASSIC CAR from the 50s. During a 2-hours car ride, you will know some remarkable places like the Capitol of Havana, Alicia Alonso Grand Theater, Fraternity Park, Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Revolution Square, Christopher Columbus Necropolis, Havana's Forest, National Hotel, etc. The car ride will have 4 main stops in either of these places.
During the tour, we’ll talk about history, culture, religion and politics. Besides, apart from knowing a plethora of historical facts about Havana, we will offer you very useful information such as the best places to buy Souvenirs, Tobacco, and Rum; recommendations of Cuban restaurants, Museums and Night Club to visit, etc.
IMPORTANT
We would like to clarify that: PAYMENT MADE BY THE AIRBNB platform corresponds to our fees as guides and hosts of the experience. The 2-hours TOUR in the CLASSIC CAR COSTS 60 USD or 60 EUROS IN CASH. This payment is per car, not per person, and will be divided by the number of guests (1-4 guests per car).

We'll learn about the educational and health systems, visit and learn about historical places, and get to know and interact with small businesses that are part of the lives of the Cuban people.
Together, we'll experience the daily lives and idiosyncrasies of Cubans, and learn about the main accomplishments and challenges of our economic and social reality. The day will end at my family's home, where you will get to know the story of my Cuban family, and also taste some typical drinks and snacks.
Other things to note
Be prepared to walk between two to five kilometers and interact with local people. Bring your sunscreen.
Cuban Couple Therapy - Salsa
The Highlight of your Trip!
**IMPORTANT!**
To book from Cuba, you'll need a VPN. If you don't have one, get in contact with me and I'll tell you how
Now, if this is your first time in Cuba listen up!
The experience is called "Dance Salsa in a Cuban Home." But here's the twist: both newlyweds and couples with 20 years of togetherness have asked me to rename it "Couples Therapy in Cuba." Trust me, when you're here, it'll all make sense... *evil chuckle*
When you arrive, we'll take some time to learn the basic steps of **Casino Cubano** (a.k.a. Cuban Salsa) and that’s when the fun part begins
Casino (the original name for this dance in Cuba) is a partner dance. So, you and your significant other will need to choose one of two roles:
1. Leading: You'll be the captain of this ship
2. Following: You'll be the navigator, going where your partner leads
But here's the catch: no verbal instructions allowed! Only body language. No whispering sweet dance moves to your partner or signaling with your eyes or head
And when I say, "Show Time," it's your moment to shine! Dance like nobody's watching while I capture one of the biggest highlights of your trip. Spoiler alert: you won't believe what you can achieve in just 90 minutes
Oh, and a heads-up: the activity level in this experience ranges from moderate to intense. You’re gonna break a sweat
Full Havana Excursion
Each customer has to pay here 25 euros or dollars in cash, if you are solo traveler then it is 40 ,that's the only way we find it to be able to pay for the cervices because of the last change in currency. High QUALITY PRIVATE experience and perfectly ORGANIZED.
On board a magnificent 1950 CONVERTIBLE, you'll start with a scenic walk around Havana's most iconic spots and history: Parque Central, Hotel Inglaterra, Capitolio, and PLACE DE LA REVOLUTION (where Fidel Castro pronounced one of his most famous speeches for 6 hours at a time).
Then we'll head to the El Vedado neighborhood and the MALECON docks, which is most frequented by locals in Havana. We will start our walking journey, close to the central park. WE will travel through the HISTORIC CENTER OF HAVANA, taking Obispo street, the main artery of the city; we will visit the MAIN 4 SQUARES of Havana's colonial era, which are now a World Heritage Site and have a focus on the majority of political and military economic activity. During our visit, we will stop on the TERRACE of a very unique hotel in Havana...:) SURPRISE at the end, (cigars and rum).
