Hola, adventurous soul!
I’m Rafael—a jack of all trades and Havana local for over 10 years, fully immersed in the city’s vibrant culture and rich history. After witnessing too many guides drone on like they’re reading from a textbook to bored tourists, I knew there had to be a better way. So, I made it my mission to bring Havana’s stories to life—authentic, lively, and unforgettable.
With years of experience crafting travel itineraries, leading tours, and collaborating with local artists and cultural groups, I create experiences that go beyond the usual sights. My background as a professor means I know how to make complex history and culture easy, fun, and engaging.
Why am I the best guide for this tour? Because I’m a curious cultural explorer who loves connecting with travelers from all over the world. I answer every question with enthusiasm and insight, making our tour a lively conversation—not a monologue. Fluent in English and Spanish (and a bit of Italian), I’m ready to share Havana’s secrets with you. I’m a self-proclaimed expert in all things Cuban—except dancing, but hey, I’m happy to cheer you on! 😉
Ready to discover Havana like never before? Let’s make your Cuban adventure one to remember!
