Step back in time…

You will feel like you have taken a step back in time as you ride around in 1950’s classic cars, some painstakingly restored, others barely holding together.  Or as you wonder through the birthplace of Havana in La Habana Vieja (A UNESCO Heritage site since 1982), admiring the Spanish architecture, narrow streets, hidden bars, cigar chops and art galleries. Or you can enjoy the cultural magic as you stroll down the Malecon, especially during the evenings, as Cubans with their friends and families all hang out here, with music, dancing and street drinking popular.

Enjoy the night life…
