I am a former teacher and currently work as a tour guide and translator. I have been working as a tour guide since 1990 and have extensive experience in this field. As a guide I assure you that you will live an unforgettable experience, safely. My tours are designed for all tastes and interests. You will find in me a friendly professional guide. My goal is to show you my city by visiting its most important places, in this way you will become familiar with the history, culture and architecture of the only city founded in Cuba by French colonizers, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005. I traveled with independent tourists and mainly with cruise passengers who wrote good reviews about me on Trip Advisor and Cruise Critics.

Hector ist ein aufmerksamer Guru, der informativ und kurzweilig auf die Geschichte von Cienfuegos eingeht und viel erklärt. Hector beantwortete geduldig unsere Fragen. Wir persönlich hatten Pech mit dem Wetter durch die Hurrikanausläufer und mussten aus dem Grund die Tour leider kürzen.
