Cuba Tours
Explore Habana Vieja | Dine at Bodeguita del Medio, birthplace of the Mojito | Dancing at Callejón de Hamel | Visit a Cigar Factory | Talk with the Editor from Cuba's Popular Magazine | Visit an Artist in her Home Studio | 1 UNESCO World Heritage Site
After clearing immigration and customs at the José Martí International Airport in Havana, you’ll take a short drive to the Meliá Cohiba for hotel check-in and tour orientation.*
For those arriving to Havana early, we suggest you make the most of the day and participate in some self-guided activities. We recommend beginning your travel experience by exploring Havana’s artistic side with a visit to Callejón de Hamel, the Centro Habana alleyway that features musical performances and hundreds of visual-art displays. Continue on to Old Havana and make a stop for a cocktail at La Bodeguita del Medio, a bar and restaurant made famous by Ernest Hemingway—and arguably the birthplace of the mojito, the rum-based drink the author favored.
Later in the day, we’ll celebrate your arrival with a delicious welcome dinner.

*Check-in begins roughly at 3pm ET. The tour start time will vary slightly depending on flight arrivals.
We’ll kick off the day by meeting the editor of a popular Cuban newspaper for a presentation on Cuban social issues, economic reforms, and the impacts of U.S.-Cuba policy in Cuba. Then, you’ll have a very special visit in Centro Habana with a friend and self-taught Cuban artist who opens his home to teach neighborhood children the art of papier-mâché. After lunch, you'll stop for a visit to a local food co-op a where you’ll see firsthand Cuba’s dual currency at work.
We’ll wrap up the day by visiting the famous Abdala recording studio, where famous musicians, including Nat King Cole and the Buena Vista Social Club, recorded some of their best music. Tonight, you’ll dine on your own at a paladar, a private, family-owned restaurant. Your insightCuba tour leader, who is an expert in the dining scene, will make the best recommendations.
