Cultural Free Walking Tours in Havana

An Italian, a Mexican and a Canadian sign up for a Guru walking tour of Old Havana. We were not disappointed. Our guide, Jorge was professional and entertaining. The best part was that he was very flexible and deviated any time we asked about life in Cuba. Bodegas and ration booklets were not part of the official tour. But when we asked, he accommodated. He should be promoted to Minister of State Tourism or at the very least have his own You Tube channel. He clearly made my trip. Gracia Jorge.

We loved the tour! Laura was very informative and answered all the questions we had about the revolucion and the present situation in Cuba (and we had many!). She spent more time than expected due to that 😊 We really thank her for the amazing time!

Detailed, extensive, very professional and friendly guide.

Only 2 clients on tour. Excellent tour ! Very informative ! Jorge is very passionate for his city Havana & culture. Took many side street to get a feel for genuine Havana life. Highly recommended guide !!!

Highly recommended! Jorge was extremely knowledgeable and also entertaining. Jorge is a really nice guy with a lovely relaxed manner. He took time to answer all the questions - both about the tour and Havana.

Jorge was amazing, we had such a good time. So much information, he answered all of our questions, showed the real Havana (not just the pretty touristic side). He explained everything, gave his own personal experience, and the whole tour was I entertaining, I wish it was longer ;) overall 10 out of 10

My tour with Jay & his driver was wonderful, to meeting a friendly face at the airport on October 8th, 2025 (I booked the airport pickup, convertible car), Jay's- an approachable, funny, sincere, down to earth gentleman. I had not expectations, of the island, what I would see, experience or how my tour would go. I felt comfortable from the time of meeting, even in communications months before arriving on the island- that's very important to me being a UK solo, lady traveller. I was informed of the tour schedule the day before- in my book, that's very well-organised. My tour was on the 9th October 2025, my guides were very punctual, in pickup & drop off times, being driven around for 2 hours seeing the island's beauty was a blessings, yes it has it's broken parts but where in the world doesn't. Food is a bit lackluster to my tastebuds. Jay's knowledge is large, has a large quality in enthusiasm & professionalism in his desire to share the history & current functioning of Cuba that was something that I was in awe of. My tour was lovely, lasted 2hrs, I leant much more than I ever expected - as you would just by watching Youtube at home. Go see Jay, I recommend him, maybe try negotiating prices if you can, he's on Whatsapp +535 264 7935, he's prompt in responding and can- organise, recommend - great places to eat, drink, see, visit, etc, etc. Cuba is a forbidden fruit to maybe (some countries), it's a very charming people friendly place to visit. It was my pleasure to be there, able to support the local's of this lovely land called Cuba.

Jorge gave us a fantastic tour with lots of insight to the local history and personal experience of life in Havana. Having done many GuruWalk tours in other countries, we would highly recommend a tour with Jorge for an authentic tour of Havana Old Town.

I went on Ali's Havana Nightlife tour during which we visited 3 bars. Ali was fun, open to lots of questions and very informative. Ali outlined the uniqueness of each bar with it's signature cocktail. A nice way to spend an evening. Highly recommend.

Pepe was amazing, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Pepe presented centuries of conflict and revolution in a very concise and easy to follow way. This was made more interesting by walking through areas relevant and connected to her talk. Pepe was happy to answer my many questions and I came away having learnt so much. Highly recommend!

Excellent tour!

The tour was amazing. Jorge is super friendly and has feo knowledge of cubas history. He to us to very interesting places and have us very cool tips. I definitely recommend him!

Joge was a very good guide with lots of knowledge and took he time to answer all our questions. Thanks again and all the best.

We had a fantastic tour with Jorge, highly recommended. Very informative and fun. He was very generous with his time and after the tour, he even suggested some great local spots for us to eat.

Jorge was great! Very Informative and Professional. Learned a lot about Cuba and their history. And also great advice for the surrounding areas for when we’re on our own.

Super informative and fun tour around Havana! Thanks Jorge!

Jorge è disponibile, simpatico ed intrattiene molto bene. Ci siamo divertiti e i tempi sono stati piacevoli, lo raccomando molto se volete avere uno sguardo autentico su cosa è Cuba e cosa è stata in passato. Tre ore ottimamente spese, grazie ancora Jorge!

✨ Si estás leyendo esto es porque quieres saber si vale la pena el tour… y la respuesta es un rotundo SÍ!!! No le des más vueltas, porque no te vas a arrepentir :) Con Jorge (aunque nosotros le decíamos George 😅, perdón Jorge) el recorrido se convierte en mucho más que un paseo: es historia, cultura, risas y hasta amistad. Se nota el amor que tiene por lo que hace y consigue que cada rincón de La Habana Vieja cobre vida. Lo recomiendo al 100%. Una experiencia inolvidable que disfrutamos de principio a fin junto a mi novia. 🚶‍♂️🌴🇨🇺

Jorge is amazing!

We joined Jorge’s walking tour and absolutely loved it. Jorge not only showed us around the old city in Havana, he also gave us so much information and insights on the current economic and social situation, all while giving details on architecture and what not to miss in our free time. We loved the tour and couldn’t recommend it more! :)

Stefany was an outstanding guide who made our Havana nightlife tour truly memorable! She led us through vibrant neighborhoods, introducing us to unique private restaurants while sharing fascinating insights into their backgrounds and Cuba’s current challenges. Her knowledge, warmth, and enthusiasm created an engaging and authentic experience. Stefany’s passion for Havana’s culture shone through, making this tour a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend her for an unforgettable night out!

Jorge was an exceptional guide who brought Cuba’s rich culture and history to life with incredible depth and passion. His tour was engaging, informative, and tailored to our interests. Jorge went above and beyond, patiently answering all our questions during the tour and even making himself available afterward for further inquiries. His enthusiasm and knowledge made our experience unforgettable. Highly recommend Jorge for an authentic and insightful Cuban adventure!

Jorge, our guide in Havana, was truly exceptional, cheerful, funny and deeply knowledgeable about the country´s history and culture. He turned every outing into a meaningful discovery. Thanks to his attention to detail and warm personality we felt like welcomed guests. An unforgettable experience from start to finish. Thank you so much!!! Marlene & Nuno (Porto- Portugal)

It was an amazing choice. Jorge showed us all wonderful squares around the city. He introduced us to the cultural aspects and recommended some good restaurants and attractions to visit. Highly recommend to book this tour if you want to get a real taste of La Havana! Alina&Giovanni

Il tour è stato molto interessante e dettagliato! Jennifer ha una conoscenza incredibile della storia della rivoluzione cubana, sempre pronta a rispondere in modo approfondito alle nostre domande. Si vede la passione e l'impegno che ci mette. Assolutamente consigliato!
