Cuban Guides

Tours of Cuba

We are working to develop a network of knowledgeable and friendly Cuban citizens that will offer travelers and businesses personalized, guided tours of Cuba customized to the visitors' interests.

Our plan for multi-lingual Cuban guides is to have you treated like a VIP in Cuba so our clients can have the best vacation or business trip one can have in Cuba.

Our specially trained guides will be carefully screened and assigned to tour routes and destinations that will greatly enhance the experience of our clients on the ground in Cuba.

They will personally walk with you, drive with you, hike with you, bike with you, boat with you and even fly with you to, through and back from just about any number of destinations that you wish to experience in Cuba.

Our clients will be able to book one or more Cuban tour guides before they arrive in Cuba or the guides can be booked with a 24 hour notice as needed in Cuba from our central reservation site when launched.

Every guide will carry credentials and GPS enabled cellphones that will receive updates featuring routes, locations and times of events related to your customized and/or specialty tour of Cuba.

Concierge services and a dedicated taxi service will be available for an extra fee.

Each of our or specially trained Cuban tour guides will be knowledgeable about different geographic and cultural areas of Cuba so we may provide our client with several different Cuban tour guides who will provide services depending upon the preferences of each VIP client.

Cuba travelers, businesses and cultural groups will enjoy a much better overall experience thanks to the knowledge and training of our multi-lingual Cuban tour guides.
