Hello Walkers, my name is Luis Manuel, guide with more than 20 years of experience. I speak English, French and Italian. Trained in tourism and Cuban travel agencies I invite you to be part of an adventure with my Tour: the birth of a nation a return to old Havana that will bring you back to the present of a country with many difficulties and many dreams yet to be realized . A country that strives to show that a better world is possible. I invite you to get to know old Havana, walk its old streets, learn about its best children and also its misfortunes. Very important!!! The Tours are organized by languages: Monday and Tuesday English. Wednesday and Thursday French Friday and Saturday Italian. This is not an impediment to personalizing the Tours to suit your time and enjoyment. Don't hesitate to contact me.
Come with me and I'll show you the city like no one has before
I will tell you about the birth of a nation , how Havana became the capital of Cuba , besieged by famous and ruthless pirates. I will tell you about the conquistadors and how Havana became the key to the New World.
I will show you how its history and its present intertwine indefinitely .
.
Land of sugar cane, tobacco and rum. Land of mambo, cha cha cha and salsa, but also land of betrayals and revolutions.
We start in the parade ground. We are right in front of the old La Real Fuerza fortress, now a maritime museum that shows treasures found on the seabed: silver coins. Galleons, sailboats that sailed the Atlantic in search of a new world full of riches.
On the dome of the fortress the statuette of the Giraldilla has become a symbol of the city.
We continue with the Templete, an ancient Greco-Roman temple with samples of old canvases by Jean Baptiste Vermay, French artist, creator of the San Alejandro Painting Academy, showing the first founding mass of the city. Hotel Santa Isabel, former Palace of the Counts of Santovenia, testimony of the first aerostatic flights on the island. The city museum, the former Palace of the Captains General and the beautiful main square. We continue along Oficios Street to the Plaza de San Francisco de Asís near the old port of Havana. We will stop to admire old palaces converted into hostels. Old square and its 18th century mansions; its most illustrious inhabitants. Bars, cafes and private restaurants with excellent traditional and international dishes. Cathedral Square and Bodeguita del Medio. Pass along Obispo Street to conclude in the Central Park.
The squares and their surroundings tell old anecdotes. Lies and Truths about Cuba . Cuba Real and Cuba Mediatica.
