I was born and raised in Cuba and have been working in the Cuban travel industry for over a decade by now. I love fishing, cooking and spending time with my daughter and family, and thankfully I am able to combine all these with my passion to explore more in Cuba: I know where to find the best ropa vieja (a traditional local stew), I know which family hotels cater best to the needs of someone traveling with children and I’ve tried and tested the best activity providers all over the island. 

After spending many years as a tour guide myself, I co-founded our tour operator and am now lucky to have a team of dedicated, passionate and enthusiastic Cubans around me, ready to show the island to the world. We are dedicated to providing authentic and unforgettable Cuba tour experiences. Whether that's cruising the streets in a Classic Convertible car; taking a mojito making class on a roof-top in Old Havana; enjoying the warm Caribbean waters at Playa Ancon or stepping back in time with a visit to Trinidad. With one of our tours you will discover the 'real' Cuba, including its lively culture, rich history and wonderful people.

Our tours are best suited to those looking for a privately guided experience and US travelers aiming to travel under one of the pre-approved categories.

I am a language graduate from Havana, a wonderfully vibrant city that also happens to be my birthplace and favorite destination in Cuba! I love our rich cultural heritage and the diversity of my island, so working in travel came naturally to me. Over the years, I have evolved from a teacher of English to an active travel specialist and tailor-made travel designer.

Our tour operator was created to cater to a very specialized segment in Cuban travel: bike and activity tourism. What better way to explore Cuba than on a bike with a guide who studied history at the university, standing in front of the Capitolio?

I am a language and literature graduate from the University of Havana, a wonderfully vibrant city that also happens to be my birthplace and favourite destination in Cuba! I love our rich cultural heritage and the diversity of my island, so working in travel came naturally to me. Over the years, I have evolved from a sales manager in a hotel to an active travel specialist and tailor-made travel designer.

Our tour operator was created to cater to a very specialized segment in Cuban travel: bike and activity tourism. For that reason, we imported our own bikes from the UK, we have trained mechanics and caretakers how to service them, we have specialized transportation that allows for bike transports as well and overall have cultivated very deep connections to suppliers all over the island: not just hotels and casa particulares, but also activity providers and specialized guides. What better way to explore Cuba than on a bike with a guide who studied history at the university and can give you unique insight to the revolution while you’re standing in front of the Capitolio? 

Our tours are best suited to those looking to stay active during their trip, on bikes, walking or hiking, or even just exploring the city centers on foot.

FAQs About Our Local Travel Experts in Cuba

What’s the difference between a local expert and a travel agent?
Our local experts actually live in the country you want to visit - they’re not just selling trips, they’re sharing real knowledge. While a traditional travel agent might rely on third-party info, our experts know what’s open, what’s worth seeing, and how to avoid the crowds. They’ll plan your trip based on what works right now, using their own network of trusted guides, hotels, and local experiences.
