NCL Sun ,Blexie the BEST

[att]

NCL Sun to Cuba, 6/25-6/29, Would return again. Used Blexie Havana tours, Orelvis "Elvis" our guide and Yandi our driver. Gave us a customized tour of Havana 6.5 hrs 130CUCs . Some of our group has trouble walking long distances, so that was taken into consideration. We asked to see some local areas, eye opening. Pick up less than a block walk across street from terminal. You will not regret booking with Blexie.

Way too short, hated to leave.

walked through the old city . old havana,

walked through the 4 main squares in the old city to see the cathedral and main monuments and historical sites.

drove down the malecon towards Fusterlandia which is an entire neighborhood covered with mosaic tiles.

visited the Plaza de revolucion to see the square where Castro gathered millions and the Pope visited.

John Lennon park to see his statue and some once beautiful crumbling architecture surrounding the park.

wonderful lunch.

visit a local grocery store

Hemingway’s hotel and his bar, Floridita

Rum

Cigars

cuban Christ, el morro, house of cuban people, the capitol, revolucion plaza and a tabaco factory

That sounds like at least about 2 days worth of stuff to do. Remember, it's likely to be exhaustingly hot and humid. Walking the cobblestones of Havana Vieja for hours can be grueling.

We were on NCL Sky last August and used Blexie, and he was our guide for the day. What a wonderful young man and so knowledgeable about Cuba. The walking part of the tour was very hot, and we were glad we brought a bottle of water along. When we stopped for lunch, we insisted that he come in and eat with us so we could talk to him for more information, and it was our honor to buy his lunch and spend the time with him. We will second what att said.."You will not regret booking with Blexie."

Thats our plan -- we have been booked with "Elvis"

Have read good things

 

Wondering if I need to ask Blexie about help - tour/bar crawl with someone that night or just ask when we are there. We'd like to get dinner ashore and then go to enjoy some jazz/music but NOT in a touristy "show"

You might email Blexie and ask about it, but keep in mind he does not always get to mail quickly. I am sure he could help you find someone. Are you stopping inn Key West on the way back??
