    He provide tours in Trinidad and surrounding areas. His pricing is a little higher than the other top independents however I am pretty sure that he is worth every penny he charges. Gio quotes a separate charge for the "taxi" pick up and drop off at Cienfuegos port and then charge for his time. The "Taxi" cost for a full day is $100.00 CUC for 2 people in a modern car, 160 CUC for 4-5 people a minivan ,200 CUC for 6-8 people and for 9-10 people a bigger minivan is $250.00 CUC. The charge for his time is 60 cuc for 2 - 6 passengers,after 6 people would be $10.00 CUC per person during a full day tour.

    Beside Trinidad Cienfuegos combination tour from cruiseship terminal Gio can arrange any tour that you like.

     

     

     

    Bottom line: Reasonably priced truly independent guide from Trinidad.  From the reviews I think touring with Gio is like touring with a very knowledgeable friend who would bring you to the best places and help you get the best value for your money.  If you are into photography or wants a good local who knows Trinidad well Gio is THE GUIDE to use. If you want to know what Gio is like as a guide just read all the 5 star reviews he has on TripAdvisor.

    Estoy de acuerdo con Tunafish. Ayer regresamos de nuestro crucero por Cuba en el viaje de Azamara y en todas las ciudades visitadas: La Habana, Cienfuegos, Trinidad y Santiago de Cuba, tuvimos visitas independientes, todas las cuales fueron solo para mi esposa y para mí. Todos eran menos costosos que las excursiones patrocinadas por el barco, mucho más personal y no estaba encerrado en un autobús o tenía que atenerse a los horarios e itinerarios de la excursión.

     

    Tuvimos un guía turístico independiente (Gio's Photo Tours, costo total de $ 160 por día) para nuestro día en Trinidad. Nos recibió en las afueras de la terminal de barcos de Cienfuegos. Mi esposa y yo, Gio y el conductor hicimos el viaje a Trinidad en un buen taxi con aire acondicionado que era propiedad del conductor. El viaje de ida y vuelta fue muy bonito y duró aproximadamente una hora. Trinidad era interesante y típica de las ciudades cubanas (es decir, no espere nada lujoso) y una ciudad agradable para pasear. Las excursiones en La Habana y Santiago de Cuba también incluían ser conducidos en un automóvil antiguo para llegar al siguiente lugar donde luego caminó con el / los guía (s), todos los cuales hablaban un excelente inglés. En nuestro primer día en Cienfuegos, contratamos una bici-taxi, un rickshaw con bicicleta. El "conductor" nos llevó a toda la ciudad durante 5 horas por $ 25 / hora. Él también
