LOCAL GUIDE IN HAVANA

LOCAL GUIDE IN HAVANA

I have been a guide (independent) for quite some time now. I am a teacher.
When I am doing my Walking City tours my main goal is to give a clear image of Cuba to as many persons as possible. Much what is known about Cuba is rooted in the  politics  but  it is important to give a deeper knowledge about Cuba: its people, beauty and culture.

Walking Tour in Old Havana,  other parts of the city  that the official or usual tours never shows, not to mention those stories we keep in our heart and soul and never told in guide-books

Private City Tours in Havana. 
A historian, guide, and friend all rolled into one. The passion for my country and my city in particular is what identify 
me. I will teach you and show you about those little streets, the details, the colors and great History of Havana. My 
tours are walking tours, Discovering fantastic streets, churches, museums, fabulous and old buildings, but also 
extraordinary bars and the rebirth of the Havana's restaurants. What else? Well, let's walk out of the tourist's path never do.

My city tour is mostly a walking tour in the old part of the city( although not exclusively) . It is mostly historical, and about arts (architecture and museum) . It can be planned in 2 days if needed. I actively work with several generations of Cubans and I know the reality and beauty of my country in depth . You are going to start the tour as a tourist and will finish as a traveler who have seen and listened what common tourists will never do.
We will make the first part from a square to square as the city grew, Havana was a typical spanish city and it share a 
common heritage, then the magic start, the streets communicating the sqaures, So, we start at the squares : Plaza de Armas, 
Plaza de la Catedral, Plaza vieja, Plaza de San Francisco, Parque Central, Plaza del Cristo. Important streets: Prado, 
Mercaderes, Obispo, O'Reilly, Malecon

CUBA BEFORE INTERNET 

https://iamcuban.blogspot.com/2022/02/internet-short-wave.html

It’s official: Carnival Cruise Line new trips to Cuba

It’s official: Carnival announced new trips to Cuba

(  and remember: walking with a local will make the difference)

The cruise line Carnival has announced that will soon be sailing to the Cuban capital of Havana after receiving approval from the federal government.

Carnival says the visits comply with U.S. Department of Treasury regulations permitting operators to transport approved travelers to Cuba to engage in activities as defined by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Foreign Assets Control.

“The U.S. Government has established policy guidelines that govern the travel requirements for U.S. citizens to visit Cuba. There are essentially 12 different approved ways to visit Cuba including “People to People” interactions and a variety of other options,” says Terry Thornton with the cruise line.

“We expect that most of our guests visiting Cuba as part one of our new cruise options will utilize the “People to People” opportunity,” Thornton added.

We also had to work closely with the Cuban government to gain their approval for our cruises as well as confirmation for the berth to dock the ship in Havana. Our final approval was granted and we are very excited to be able to offer these new cruise options to our guests”, he said.

Only one thing is never commented about: a first-hand experience, real one when you visit Cuba. This can be made true with a local guide, with a Cuban who loves his country and knows in detail the city. When the visitor goes off the ship and is on the street he/she will meet some characters offering their services., but they really don’t know much about Havana. Our advice is that before coming make a search on internet and be in contact with some Cuban professionals and invite him/her to guide you across Havana, to show you the city from the Cubans’ perspective and not only the official point of view.

On the other side you will have a unique experience, a completely different one from the rest of the hundreds of passengers, and you will be of help to a Cuban teacher, or architect, or artist who have to face the difficult conditions in the nowadays of Cuba. And  believe me when I say it is worthy, even when you have already paid a sort of tour with an official guide. Walking with a local will make the difference.
