Hi, I'm César, a resident of Vedado, the more residencial neighborhood of Havana. I'm a student and have studied economics and computer science. In my free time I give tours. It's my passion to show and teach newcomers about my city through the eyes of a native.
Surely you have seen pictures of Old Havana: a colorful array of '50 cars, Spanish Colonial and Art Deco architecture, the remains of a once Catholic nation... On my tour I will show you this, but much more. Havana, as the cultural center of Cuba, is multidimensional. As we walk through the old city, I will explain to you not only the history and the architecture surrounding us, but also the flow of daily life for its residents, and what it means to be Cuban in 2018.
Highlights: Bars visited by Hemingway, the Castle of Real Fuerza, statue of the Gentleman of Paris, the best coffee in Havana at El Escorial, Obispo Boulevard, the Cathedral of Havana, the Fair of the Artisans, the Casa del Habano (cigar shop), the original US Embassy, various social projects, and much more!
Under the only tree in the San Francisco Plaza (just across the street from the Port), with a sign with the name of the tour.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
