​Detailed Program



​Day 1 – Welcome to Havana

Private transfer to your accommodation from Havana airport or Varadero.
 
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 will have a  2 / 3 hours break for a lunch or for 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 –  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.




Otherwise you will go directly to visit
Fusterlandia, a 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 evening.
​​
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.
​​


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



​Day 4 – Vinales Valley Day Tour


After your breakfast, you will be picked up by your guide to reach Vinales 
and its wonderful Valley!

Our standard itinerary includes:

Los Jazmines Hotel and its “viewpoint” (from where it is possible to admire the wonderful Mogotes and the whole valley).

Then a visit to the Indio Cave and the Palenque Cave.

After that…you can have an optional farm to table organic lunch at one of the best paladares in the area or proceed directly to the Prehistoric Wall. 

Finally you will end the tour at a Tobacco Farm & Planation where you can enjoy a hiking or an optional horseback ride through the valley or and assist the processing of tobacco leaves from sowing to the production of fine cigars.

You will be also offered a free handmade cigar.

However, since this is a completely private tour, if you don’t want to follow the classic itinerary, you will be totally free to decide where to go and what to do.



​Around 5.00 pm  we will leave Vinales to reach Havana where you will be dropped off at your accommodation.
