Adults only; cigars and access follow each venue’s own rules and are set out in your written confirmation.

Before you book

One honest word

Two things we would rather tell you straight, the way we would tell a friend.

The street, with open eyes. Cubans are not dangerous — they are the best thing this country has. But Cuba is living through extreme hardship, and a few people may try to turn a situation to their advantage. So travel the way you would in any big city: agree every price before you start (with us, everything is in writing), keep your plans with us, and use your judgement. Do that, and what you will meet most is generosity.

Old buildings, real care. Much of Havana’s beauty is a century old, and building upkeep across Cuba is fragile: facades crumble and balconies deteriorate in almost every neighbourhood. Walk with the same care your guide shows you — do not lean on old railings, do not linger under scaffolding or cordoned-off areas, and follow your guide’s indications. The city is glorious; it simply asks for your attention.

Airport Transfers

Your first and last ride in Cuba, sorted before you land.

Airport pick-up — we wait for you

You land at Havana airport (HAV) and we are already there: your driver waits at arrivals with your name on a sign, keeps an eye on your flight if it runs late, and takes you straight to your lodging in Havana — in a classic car, or a minibus for larger groups.

From $35 / car + $5 pp

Ride back to the airport — no last-day stress

When it is time to leave, we collect you from your lodging with all the margin an international flight needs and take you to the airport. No hunting for a taxi with your suitcases, no running late on your last day. Free return airport transfer included with every full tour or full experience booking. Not included with single classes.

From $35 / car + $5 pp
