I booked a tour with Blexie and he informed us that our guide will be Jorge. Has anyone did a tour with Jorge before? If you have, what are the places Jorge took you to see? We will be in Cuba all day Sunday and up to 2 pm on Monday. Are shops, restaurants and museum open on Sundays? Have anyone used the Hop On Hop Off? The cost, where did you catch the bus and what did you see?

Just returned yesterday. Jorge was fantastic. He will make the tour into what ever you want. My family and I agree he could easily teach Cuban history. He knows the history, religion, buildings and where to eat and shop. You will not be disappointed.

My advice is to do some research to determine what you want to see or experience so he can alter the time as needed. I will say a lot of the shops close at 5pm, so that may play into the planning.

 

Enjoy the time there, it was fantastic.

Where did you find Blexie's itinerary? I was told it was on their Facebook page but can't find it. Thanks for your help.

This is the email I used and he responded sometimes the same day or evening but in a day or two. The first response I got was his general reply but he answered my questions quickly. This was all in the last couple of weeks.
