Tour Details

Are you in Havana and looking for the real side of the Cuban capital? Then this tour is perfect for you! At the designated time, we'll meet in front of Sloppy Joe's bar. From there, we'll head to the neighborhood of Santo Ángel in Old Havana. You'll be amazed by the resilience of the Cuban society!

We'll stroll along its maze-like streets until we reach the private market of Havana. Here, we'll make our first stop to learn how the national currency has changed the economic dynamics of the food market. Have you ever wondered what real impact the Cuban Revolution has had on the country's society today?

Then, we'll head to the national market and a small store of rationed products. We'll enter a commercial area fully subsidized by the Cuban state.

After discovering the answers to your questions, we'll head to an iconic and authentic local pharmacy as we discuss why a black market exists and how it operates. We'll also share how Cubans can purchase their necessities with different currencies.

2.5 hours later, we'll say our goodbyes and conclude this tour at the Plaza de Armas.
