​Detailed Program



​Day 1 – Welcome to Havana

Private transfer to your accommodation from Havana airport.
 
Meet your local guide who will assist you for the duration of the tour. 
 
Depending on your arrival time, the guide will take you on a walk in the area around your accommodation, showing you some points of interest, and suggesting some great cafes, bars or paladares. 

These privately run restaurants are the best places to experience true local food, drinks and great hospitality. 


******************



​Day 2 – Exploring Havana

After your breakfast you will be picked up by your guide to start the private Old Havana walking tour.

Old Havana has been designated a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1982.

Remodeling is occurring slowly, so while some buildings are excellently restored to their original glory, others have taken on their own look by being left to age naturally, virtually neglected since the Revolution triumphed more than 50 years ago.​



During this tour, the guide will take you around through the historic center where you can admire:

The Capitol & The Parque Central.

The Bacardi Building & the Great Havana Theatre.

Obispo Street and El Floridita Bar.

The Ambus Mundos Hotel.

The Plaza de Armas & The Plaza de la Catedral.

La Bodeguita del Medio.

The Plaza San Francisco de Asis & The Plaza Vieja.



You’ll also have time to  enjoy one of the world famous cocktails such as the Cuba Libre, the Daiquiri or the Mojito in one of the bars you will visit.​


At the end of the walking tour you can have a break for a lunch or a rest at your accommodation.

Then you will be picked up again by your guide for the 3 hours modern Havana private tour in a classic convertible or a classic sedan if you prefer it to be air conditioned.




While enjoying the ride in the vintage car,  you will visit all the most important touristic spots of the Capital such as:

Miramar & Revolution Square (Stop).

The 5th Avenue and its colonial mansions.

Havana Forest (Stop).

Colon Cemetery & University of Havana.

Hotel Nacional (Stop).

China Town, Central Park & Paseo del Prado.

Malecon & Havana Bay.

El Morro Fortress & Havana Christ (Stop).



At the end of the car tour you will be dropped off at your accommodation.

Free time for dinner & nightlife.


This could be the ideal evening to attend a show.

If you would like to attend a show like the Buenavista Social ClubTropicana or to the Cabaret Parisienne, you should ask us to reserve your tickets ahead of time.


​******************



​Day 3 –  Varadero & Saturno Caves


After your breakfast, y
ou will be picked up by your driver and personal guide in a classic or modern hardtop car (as you prefer) to start your tour to Varadero.
 

The journey time is a bit less than 2 hours.

Varadero has 22 kilometers  of fine white sand beaches and clear blue waters where you can relax, swim, play, or practice all kind of water sports with your partner, friends, or family. 



First stop will be the Bacunayagua Bridge, located on a small hill that marks the border between the provinces of Matanzas and Havana.​ 
From the viewpoint, you can enjoy the breathtaking view, take some beautiful photos and eventually enjoy a tasty Pina Colada which is one of the best you can get in the area.



Then after having a quick sightseeing of 
Matanzas from the car (you can stop and visit it properly if you would like to) we will reach the Saturno Caves where you can have a refreshing swim in the natural pool.



Our final stop will be Varadero.  

We’ll drop you off at the beach where you can relax, sunbathe, swim or do any water activity.




​Around
5.00 / 6.00 pm (depending the season)
 we will leave Varadero to return to Havana where you will be dropped off at your accommodation.

Free time for dinner & nightlife.

​Day 4 – Havana

Cigar Factory Tour 

After your breakfast, if you would like to have the Cigar Factory Tour,  your guide will take you to one of the cigar factories open to the public on that particular day

You’ll have an interesting tour inside the factory where you will be explained the whole process  involved  in the production of a cigar.

After your breakfast, if you have chosen to add the optional cigar factory tour,  your guide will take you to buy the tickets  and you will reach one of the cigar factories open to the public on that particular day
 
You’ll have an interesting tour inside the factory where you will be explained the whole process  involved  in the production of a cigar.


​Otherwise you will go directly to visit Fusterlandiaa small community on the west side of Havana, though the neighborhood’s actual name is Jaimanitas. The entire district is decorated with murals, ceramic mosaics, and colorful quirky sculptures.


Then you will visit Cojimar Fishermen Villagewhich inspired Hemingway‘s best seller ” The old man and the sea “,  where you can see the memorial built in his honor and, if you want, you can have a lunch at “La Terraza restaurant“, Hemingway’s favorite place for lobsters.



******************

Then you can choose to spend few hours at the Beach, visit Finca Vigia or do whatever you prefer including one of the optional activities like a Private Salsa Dance Class, a Rum & Cigars Tasting, or a Private Cuban Cooking and / or Cocktails Class.

******************


​​
​Few Hours at the Beach
​​

​​The driver will take you to Megano or Santa Maria del Mar, two among the nicest Playas del Este white sand beaches where you can relax, sunbathe, swim in the turquoise waters or have a ride in a catamaran or a kayak.

This is also a very good place to have some fresh coconut water and a great seafood lunch which can be served directly under your umbrella.


​​
​Finca Vigia
​​


​You will be taken to Finca Vigia,
Hemingway’s country home in Cuba, where he spent twenty-one of his most productive years becoming a titan of English literature. His house remains just as it was when he lived in it. You’ll see his eclectic personal objects, thousands of books, manuscripts, and photographs, as well as some animal trophies, bagged on his frequent safaris.



At the end of the Finca Vigia tour you will be dropped off at your accommodation to freshen up and get ready for your last evening in Havana.
​​
Around 8.00 pm you will be picked up again by the guide and the driver to attend the ” Cañonazo ceremony ” which takes place each night at the Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabaña, an 18th-century fortress on Havana’s harbor.​ 

The cañonazo itself is the firing of a cannon over the bay at 9.00 pm sharp , but leading up to it is a really interesting ceremony featuring actors dressed in 18th century military garb.



At the end of the ceremony
you will be dropped off at your accommodation or at a bar, cafe’ or nightclub if you prefer to have some for fun on your own.
