After a late morning start and a tasty breakfast in your casa particular, we will start our morning with a classic car tour. Explore the city in cars of all colors, perfectly preserved. You'll feel like you jumped into a time machine back to the 50's! The hardest choice is... which car color are you choosing?

Once we've taken all our classic car photos, we will have a walking tour of the old part of the capital city by foot and bici-taxis. Explore La Habana and all of its magic as we immerse ourselves in local history, lessons from the past, and what the local people predict and desire for the future. We'll take you on a walking tour of the historic center, stopping at all major plazas and points of interest. Additionally, we will get a bit "off the beaten path" to discuss the modern-day reality on the island and the unique hurdles its citizens have to overcome daily in order to complete basic tasks, such as grocery shopping or repairing a common household appliance. 

This tour provides you with a good lay of the land for independent exploration, as well as a general overview of the island’s history and current political and economic climate. We will also point out some of our favorite hidden gems such as shops, bars, cafés, art galleries, restaurants, and small businesses worth checking out and supporting. 

We will stop for a delicious lunch in the city before heading over to our dear friend's house to learn how to play dominós! It wouldn’t truly be a trip to Cuba unless you find yourself sitting with friends, playing a round of dominó. Learn about the cultural significance of the game along with the rules and regulations of the game while making new friends. A round of dominós often turns into a neighborhood block party, and it's here you'll get a real feel for Cuban culture. This activity was a group favorite when we did our last GLT tour, so we are excited to bring it back!

We will enjoy a dinner at El Cocinero on site at the iconic La Fabrica de Arte, a one-of-a-kind factory turned into an art gala and nightlife scene. After dinner, you can enjoy a mojito or two and dance the night away!

Included meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After breakfast, you will have an option to do an activity in the capital city. We will provide your options before the tour so you can make your choice! Trust us, it will be hard to choose!

After your free time, we will meet back together to learn all about street art in the city. During this guided tour you will meet various Cuban street artists who will share the stories behind their work, the hidden symbolism and socio-political messaging, and the artists hopes and fears for the future. Our street art tour will also include various stops to meet and greet with young Cuban entrepreneurs who are moving the needle forward in the island's private sector. This unfiltered an uncensored look into Cuban art, culture and economy will deepen your appreciation and admiration for Cuba's emerging generation of artists, creators and change-makers. 

After exploring street art, we will do a rum tasting and cocktail class. You'll get to learn how to make a few Cuban specialties, and taste your creations! We will also have a private concert with local musicians. 

Once the drinks have been tasted, we will finish our weekend with a lovely dinner at ChaChaCha, a fabulous Caribbean Fusion restaurant, talk about ending on a high note!

Included meals: Breakfast, Dinner
