Tour description

Would you like to know about the history and culture of Havana, but in a fun way, like when you are visiting a good friend who shows you her city? Well that's exactly what I propose. You will visit the most beautiful and mysterious places in the city, such as the place where the remains of Christopher Columbus were kept for 100 years.

Through a very pleasant and interactive walk, you will know the most beautiful and oldest 4 OLD HAVANA'S SQUARES and the history behind them, as well as the places where counts, dukes and marquises lived, and were recreated in the years when Cuba was a colony of Spain and was attacked by corsairs and pirates.

You will admire the beauty of the first colonial-style houses that existed in Havana and that remain with the same appearance after more than 300 years. You will visit unique and emblematic places, and you will also know more modern places, such as the Dark Chamber.

Among some of the sites that we will visit are:

- Plaza de Armas

- Castillo de La Real Fuerza

- Museo de la Ciudad

- La Plaza San Francisco

- El Convento de San Francisco de Asís

- La Plaza Vieja

- La Casa de la Cerveza

- El Planetario de la Habana

- La Plaza de la Catedral

- La Iglesia de la Catedral de La Habana.

- La Bodeguita del Medio

I guarantee you a very interesting and enjoyable experience, with a very nice friend and guide, and better yet, you will pay what you want. I await for you, I love to meet new people and it will be a pleasure for me show you the culture and the history of my city, !

100% recomendable! Yoan nos contó la historia de 4 plazas importantes de la ciudad de La Habana de una forma amena, ayudándonos a comprender, a través de la historia, el porqué de la situación actual en Cuba. Fue un acierto total! Muchas gracias!
