Hello! I'm Rafael, or Ralph if it's easier for you to pronounce. I'm a passionate tour guide ready to show you the treasures of my city. My first experience as a guide years ago, during my university days, made me fall in love with the job. I'm new in Guru Walk, but I'm no stranger to the game. Guiding travelers throughout Cuba has always been a fulfilling and memorable experience. For me, it's more than just a job; it's my passion because I get to share the rich history, vibrant culture, and unique natural beauty of my island. I offer tours in Havana, a city of eclectic charm where every corner has an interesting story and has managed to preserve its beauty despite the test of time. There's Trinidad, with its colonial beauty and impressive surrounding nature, Viñales with its lush green mountains and famous tobacco plantations where some of the world's best cigars are produced, and Varadero with its pristine white sands and turquoise waters, among many others. My aim is always to provide travelers with an authentic and genuine experience of Cuba. They won't only visit the typical tourist destinations but also discover off-the-beaten-path places, interact with the local people, and immerse themselves in the authentic Cuban way of life. Every tourist is different, so I offer personalized service and individual attention. I'm willing to tailor my tours to the specific interests and needs of each traveler, ensuring a unique experience. I'm always available to assist with accommodation, transfers, or anything else visitors may need to ensure a pleasant and enriching journey. I genuinely love what I do because it allows me to meet incredibly nice people, and I hope you'll be the next one. Drop me a message, and let's make it happen!
So many cool offers here! Why should you choose this one? Well... This tour will provide an objective, local perspective. I'll ensure an enriching and enjoyable experience that goes beyond the typical tourist itinerary. Also, this is not a rigid schedule - it's 100% customizable to fit your interests.
It's the perfect tour whether it's your first time in Cuba and you're unsure what to do, or if you've been here before and want to see more.
Pick me, and we will unravel together the mysteries of this fascinating country while I show you around its most vibrant city, a place seemingly stuck in time, with unique features that go way beyond rum, tobacco, and classic cars.
Our tour begins at your accommodation, where we will immerse ourselves as we explore the lively cobblestone streets filled with cafes, restaurants, and galleries, with a musical ambiance provided by street musicians. We won't just get to know Old Havana; we will also experience the present-day city with all its complexities and charm. Will we visit the most popular tourist attractions? Of course, but we will see more than that, and you will have the opportunity to truly get to know the Cuban people.
Pack your hat and sunscreen, and let's go!
We will visit:
And much more :)
I will be waiting outside the entrance to your lodging, wearing a backpack and with messy hair
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).
