Our tour guide was great, very forthcoming about Cuba. We walked all around the old part (which is mostly tourist area). She explained a lot of the places and then took us for an authentic Cuban lunch with a drink at a restaurant where many locals go. Very good experience.

Old Havana Walking Tour
February 21, 2019
On January 31, 2019 my wife and I took the walking tour of the old portion of Havana, Habana Vieja. Our's was a small group of 10 people. We were led by a charming and well educated woman, a university graduate with a Cuban history major. She spoke clearly, answered questions completely, and possessed a refreshing sense of humor. She was very enthusiastic and highly informative. She is a marvelous employee.

This was our best tour by far in Cuba. Our guide was punctual, spoke perfect English and easily fielded all of our questions. The group size is very small and when 2 didn’t show up we had s wonderful group of 6. Dayana, with UrbanAdventures, took us all over Havana and then to a local restaurant for lunch. The food, drinks and service was amazing. I highly recommend booking this four through Costco vs the excursions offered via the ship if you are cruising.

Met just across the street from the cruise terminal. Guide spoke good English, was relaxed pace, handled questions well. We saw a lot and heard about life in Cuba. Guide was thoughtful about situating us in the shade. Lunch was delicious - I had a lobster dish and my husband had shrimp. Group of 12 but could hear guide well. We wandered in the area prior to the tour but felt we got a lot more when we had a guide.

Our guide was personable and fully familiar with Old Havana. Her commentary explained the socio-economic condition of today's Cuba as well as describing the neighborhoods we walked through. Our group was a pleasant number of nine while groups around us often numbered 15-20. Included was a typical Cuban lunch at a small cafe --- very good. All in all it was an excellent intro to Havana. rch

Great alternative to Cruise-Ship excursions
October 10, 2018
Cruising with NCL Sky, we were told unequivocally that we HAVE to book THEIR excursions. That was just not true! We chose one through our TA instead. With a discount, it's over $30 cheaper. The meeting place was easy to find with the detailed directions. Our guide (we were 11) was Jenny, who knows and loves Cuba. It's hard to say how this tour REALLY was, since there's no point of comparison. It's hot, and there is a fair bit of walking on treacherous cobble-stoned, aften uneven surfaces - so, wear good shoes and be careful. It doesn't seem like we covered a lot, but at the same time, we felt like we had about enough by the time we broke for lunch. Oh did we mention lunch was included (which the one for the NCL tour description did not mention): a delicious 3-course hot meal, with a DRINK. We spent some time after the tour revisiting some of the spots where we wanted to take more pictures, and did a bit of cigar shopping based on Jenny's recommendation.

We took the tour of Havana in August 2018 with Dyana. She is an excellent guide and provided a tremendous amount of information on the sites, the history, and insight into the Cuban people and their livelihood in the changing post-Fidel era. I would highly recommend the tour for those who are interested in old Havana and the local history. At the end of the tour we ate our (included in the cost of the tour) lunch at a local paladar, a privately owned eatery, as opposed to the government-owned and managed restaurants and hotels. This was a worthwhile excursion and still left time for several hours of independent, unguided exploration afterward.

My favorite part was at the end - we got away from the tourist area and walked a few blocks to a local restaurant for lunch. The tour guides’ recommendation was spot on. Enjoyed a delightful Cuban Jerked beef and rice and beans meal, plus an alcoholic beverage included in the price of the tour. The other members of the tour also made the experience enjoyable. I will definitely do a similar excursion somewhere else. Great value!

Diana was very personable, knowledgeable and did not hesitate to answer our questions. The lunch provided on the tour was at a great local establishment we might not otherwise have found.
