Weekend In Havana Tour Overview

map of cuba including havana
Our Weekend in Havana tour is far more than a mere brush with exotic culture—it’s a full-on immersive discovery allowing you to not only witness Cuba’s dynamic rhythm and color, but to dive right in and become part of the canvas. 

Like the fiery salsa rhythms that can be heard rippling through its city streets, Havana springs to life with warmth and vivaciousness that never stops taking you by surprise. Removed from the quiet fields of sugar cane and mango trees that thrive further afield, Cuba's largest city is an urban metropolis – a place of rambling Colonial architecture, endless adventure and unfettered discovery.
