Detailed Program
Day 1 - Welcome to Havana
Private transfer to your accommodation from Havana airport or Varadero.
Meet your local guide who will assist you for the duration of the tour.

Remodeling is occurring slowly, so while some buildings are excellently restored to their original glory, others have taken on their own look by being left to age naturally, virtually neglected since the Revolution triumphed more than 50 years ago.
