Tours for families Havana CubaTours to Hemingway Havana

We Do Tours To Hemingway’s Farm Estate Located Just On The Outskirts Of Havana, We Can Include This In Our Havana City Program.

1st Day Tour in Havana City in one of our Classic Cars!! (regular program, price for One $100 – price for 2 or 3 people $150.00 USD from 9.00 am to 3.30 pm).

 – A walking tour around the historic part of Old Havana, which is a UNESCO heritage site since 1982 after the great colonial architecture very well preserved in that area where people can really see and appreciate a mix on different influences of architecture styles from the XVI to the XIX century and some stunning European style squares. Some stops could be arranged for drinks, photos and information given at interesting historical places like: the old late XIX French style pharmacy, the hotel Hemingway used to stop every time he used to stay in Havana city, the old city scale model building, and many others. l The walking tour may last about 2 hours, so clients should consider to bring comfortable shoes with them.

– A brief panoramic tour around the center of Havana city where some iconic buildings and spots are located such as: the Capitol building, the Grand Theatre of Havana, Central Park, Padro High StreetStreet, the revolution museum and the National Art Museum. The tour guide will give information about this centric area and couple stops for photos could be arranged if the clients may be interested.

– Visit to the Revolution Square, which is the most important square in Cuba relates to the Revolution history and it has been the main scenario of political speeches, workers and military parades, so political concerts. Stops for photos and a short walk.

– A visit to a cigar store for those who are interested on buying authentic Cuban cigars. We normally take our clients to the government store where they sell only the real and very fresh ones. We don’t recommend getting cigars on the black market as it is against the law and you are never sure if they are selling you fakes cigars or not. A 30 min cigar factory tour could be book but is only available from Monday to Fridays as workers have Saturday and Sunday off. Prices for prestigious Cuban cigar brands: from 7.00 to 22.00 CUC depending on the brand, size and strength. (The cigar factory tour price is: 10 CUC per person not included in the Havana city tour price).

– A brief stop at the metropolitan Almendares Park located between the Vedado district and Miramar. This is for sure an excellent place for those who appreciate an always green and natural forestry area for taking wonderful photos. It is mostly used by local people for family meetings, picnics, photography and religion rituals.

– Panoramic tour around some 1930’s, 1940’s and 1950’s neighborhoods such as: Miramar that it was the richest people area before the Revolution victory and the embassy are now days, Malecon promenade and  Vedado close to the American embassy and national hotel.

Stops by the Morro Castle for a fantastic panoramic picture of a big part of the city, some minutes at the 1962 missile crisis military exhibition and Jesus Christ Park.

 – The visit to the Indian Cave, which is an small cave located inside one of the monolithics of about 250 meters long. Part of the tour in this cave is by boat, so at some points of the day when the cave might be full of tourist clients can easily wait for up to one hour to jump on the boats. I recommend to make a decision on the tour day. The cover for getting in is 5 CUC per person (not included on the tour price).

 – A visit to a local tropical botanical garden that has been kept for one family in Viñales for about 100 years. (Optional) Price: free.

A one hour lunch break fits perfectly with our schedule, lunch is not included in the tour price, as we take you to a very fine dining experience. We always eat at authentic Cuban food restaurants from the newly emerged private businesses sector which has been way more successful than the state run restaurants.

Answers To Exchanging Money In Cuba From US Dollars To CUC For Cruise Ship Passengers :

1)  What is the exchange fee for converting US Dollars to CUC?  90%

The exchange at the Cuban banks or the airport is 87 %. That’s the officials Cuban government exchange rate from coast to coast. However if you pay our guides there in USD they will take them as you have said, 90 %, so 100 USD=90 CUC.

2)  Is it any different if you use British pounds?  About the same your call.

If you use British pound the guide in Cuba will check what is the current £ exchange rate and then you could pay in £ instead of CUC otherwise you could ask the guide to take you to a bank.

3)  Do you have to show your passport when converting money to CUC?

Yes, you have to show your passport every time you exchange money in Cuba. If you don’t want to take your passport with you the guide could use his personal identification instead.

4)  Do they post a list of rules for converting money to CUC on the wall somewhere that ourlines do’s and don’ts?  If so, what are they.

No, they don’t have at banks in Cuba any specific rule for exchanging money other than showing your passport, as that’s required.

The guides can have some money to exchange or bring your passports, we’ll have a fast easy place available if not. (I doubt it though, the guides usually have CUC’s on them for every tour.)

Thank you, Jack Trout

Did a day trip from Havana Cuba.
Picked up in the morning and after 1,5 hours driving we got to the place we’re we met our guide Felipe. Felipe was very nice and knowledgeable and he showed us a great time. First day ever tarpon fishing and we managed to have fifteen of them airborne that day. Eight of which were landed. What an adventure!! I have been fly fishing for almost 20 years and this I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun day on the water.

Walking tour and classic American car tour in Havana5 of 5 bubbles

I would like to recommend this company after the wonderful experience we had with them in Havana.
We arrived on our cruise ship and met our Guide (Jesse) at the prearranged meeting point in the square opposite the cruise terminal to begin our day tour.

We started with a walking tour of old Havana and what can I say about our guide,his knowledge and attitude when showing us around the city were excellent . Jesse ensured we were introduced to all aspects of Cuban life in Havana, including the history and architecture of this wonderful city.
The walking tour was followed by a trip around all the other areas of Havana in a classic American vintage car. It was excellent and again the information provided by Jesse was wonderful and informative.
We have wonderful memories of our visit due to him.
Hopefully we will be back in Cuba in the near future to explore even more.
Again thanks for the great day and we will be happy to recommend this company to our friends.

“Amazing Family Adventure to Cuba!”
5 of 5 stars

Words can not describe how wonderful our trip to Havana and Cayo Largo, Cuba was with Jack and Carola Trout!
This world-class salt water fishing adventure to Cuba was a graduation gift for our oldest son. Our family of 6 (3 anglers and 3 non-anglers) enjoyed 9 days of travel, touring and incredible fishing with this special couple. Accommodations, dining and tours were top notch in both Havana and Cayo Largo. We encountered very few travel related issues that couldn’t be handled immediately with Carola’s Spanish speaking skills. She was a super help with our little kiddos (8 and 4 years old) as she scheduled activities and fun things for them to do during the days. It is always a good time to fish and hang out with Jack and his crew of highly trained guides. Our anglers caught the most and biggest bonefish they’ve ever caught! They also caught tarpon, snook and snapper; however, the permit was elusive on this trip. Our little ones fished, released baby turtles, found many starfish and played on the most beautiful beach in the world. We highly recommend traveling and fishing with Jack and Carola Trout and are looking forward to our next trip with them.

At our hotel and in collaboration with the Marina Cayo Largo and the Commission for the Environment, an incubation area has been created for the turtles, which lay their eggs in high-risk places and require a minimum incubation period of 60 days, so that they can then be returned to their natural habitat in a magical ritual that you can share with us.
From May to November.

Cuba Money Information

cuba-money-conterfeit

Exploring the real Cuba. 
Cuba is generally safer than most countries in the Western hemisphere. Violent attacks are extremely rare and people carrying guns, drug or criminal gangs operating in the island won’t ever be seen.
Petty theft (eg unattended shoes or towels disappearing from
the beach) is common, but preventative measures work wonders. Pickpocketing is preventable: wear your bag in front of you on crowded
buses and at busy markets and only take what money you’ll need when you head out at night. However Cuba is pretty safe and generally people will give you a happy and friendly face everywhere, so useful information and hospitality if you may need.
It is not recommendable to give away things to people on the streets. If you are having a tour your day could be interrupted for a long time because your charity act will be transformed into a big concentration of people around asking you for more things.
If you truly want do something to help, pharmacies and hospitals will accept medicine donations and schools happily take pens, paper, crayons etc. Alternatively, pass off your donations onto your “casa particular” (private hosting) owner, some friends you could make during your holidays or leave it at a local church.
Hustlers in Cuba, be careful!
Hustlers in Cuba living on the tourist money are called “jineteros” (term used for men) and “jineteras” (term used for women), so literally “jockeys”. They have been known to assume false identities of real workers (rental houses owners, taxi drivers, cigar rollers and even professional tour guides) in order to make some easy money from the tourists who visit Cuba, specially those who comes for the first time. They try all the time to provide help to the tourists they pretend to have as truly friends over charging them anytime tourists pay for a service they have already recommended. The worse thing is that several times hustlers hardly try to sell the tourists they are with other services like: drugs access, illegal cigar purchases and sex, things severely punished by the Cuban government.
It is not so difficult to identify when Cuban hustlers is dealing with you as they can be highly interested on being friend of you (more than normally happens when 2 people meet casually for the first time), always trying to match with great effort and sweetened speech your interests with what they can offer you as help. Phrases like: “I have a good friend” or “I have family living in your country” are also commonly used for hustlers in Cuba to get more confidence from their victims.
