Super recomendadísimo! Cuando viajamos siempre buscamos cosas queer para hacer y fue una hermosa sorpresa encontrar este tour. Gabi, como parte de la comunidad lgbtq+, sabe muchas historias de personas queer que marcaron La Habana. Gracias Gabi por ofrecer este tour! Ojalá haya pronto tour para nosotres en cualquier ciudad!

So informative, engaging and fun! This felt like a lovely walk with a brilliantly informed friend. Don't hesitate to learn about this otherwise overlooked side of Havana

This was a great tour! Chris and Gabi were very friendly and knowledgeable. They showed us various neighbourhoods in Havana and shared very interesting stories. We learned about Cuba's history and culture through a queer lens, making this a very unique experience. Would definitely recommend this tour with these gurus! It's a great way to see a different side of Cuba. Thanks for a great afternoon gurus!
