I am a lover of cultures and, thanks to my studies in German Studies, I have the opportunity to speak German and Spanish, which allows me to connect with a wide variety of visitors. My deep knowledge of Cuban history and culture becomes a bridge between my roots and those who wish to explore my home. My tours are designed to offer you a total immersion in Cuban daily life, as each experience is curated so that you feel the essence of Cuba. If you are passionate about history, gastronomy or nature, and also want to know those "not so touristy" places that are sometimes not in the vision of tourists, I have an ideal itinerary for you.

Tour description

I invite you to an unforgettable tour that will start in the emblematic Parque Central and take us to the vibrant Plaza Vieja . We will start in Parque Central and walk along the famous Calle Obispo , surrounded by colorful shops, art galleries and cafes. We will stop at the iconic Bodeguita del Medio, where you can enjoy the authentic "Mojito" that attracted Hemingway so much. Each sip of this refreshing cocktail is pure history. We will continue to Plaza de la Catedral , where the impressive Havana Cathedral and the Palacio del Conde de Lombillo will take us back to colonial splendor. We will head to Plaza de Armas , the old heart of the city, where the Castillo de la Real Fuerza and its leafy trees narrate decisive and unforgettable moments in the history of Havana. We will discover lesser-known gems, such as the Casa de Guayasamín and the Casa de África , which reveal Cuban cultural diversity. Before moving on to the historic Plaza de San Francisco de Asís , we will make a short stop to admire the Casa del Chocolate . Then, in the square, you will be impressed by the beauty of the colonial buildings and the fascinating history that their walls have lived through. Finally, we will arrive at the Plaza Vieja , with its impressive architecture and vibrant atmosphere, perfect to relax and enjoy before saying goodbye. This EsenciaHavana Tour is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich culture and history of Havana.
