Information: Old Havana Private City Tour

On this Havana City Tour you will experience a city that has morphed its face over five centuries of architectural design. La Habana Vieja (old Havana) is a virtual time machine of methods and techniques.

Old Havana has many sights and sounds to captivate the inquisitive traveller. These include Plaza de Armas  (the oldest square in Havana and the site of the city’s foundation), El Templete (the oldest neo-classical building in Havana),  La Catedral San Cristobal de la Habana and the Museo de la Revolucion. However for most visitors who join us on our Havana city tour it is the excitement of  being part of the commotion of daily street-life is the number one highlight. So, put your walking shoes on and  soak up the atmosphere of this lively, excitable city.

Old Havana : Floridita & Bodeguita

Old Havana : Floridita & Bodeguita

"My Daiquirí at the Floridita and my Mojito at the Bodeguita" used to say Hemingway. He drank lots of them. During the first seven years in Cuba, he lived in one of the rooms of the Ambos Mundos hotel and was at an equal walking distance of these two bars. A traditional visit of Old Havana, considered as Cultural World Heritage, does not include necessarily a bar tour.
You can have a general idea within an hour, walking between its main four squares: the Cathedral Square, the Arms Square, Saint Francis of Assisi Square and Old Square. But even if you stay ten years, you may be able not to visit all of it.
