sweetlillym Posted April 3, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 3, 2019 We did the 3 hour walking tour and 3 hour convertible tour combo last Wednesday (3/27/19). The whole thing was great and our tour guide was very friendly and informative. I highly recommend this company and this tour to everyone. Much cheaper to book directly compared to what the cruiselines charge. Worth every penny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be using them in May for four hour classic convertible tour that we customized somewhat. The manager, Stefano, is super responsive havanacar.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just got back from Cuba and had booked a 3 hour classic car tour and a 3 hour car tour through HavanaCar.net. Stefano was excellent in getting back to us promptly, and answered all my questions. Victor was an excellent car tour guide, I'd recommend him. However, we got Osvy as our walking tour guide, and I would not recommend him. It seemed like he was getting kickbacks from different places that he pushed. I wanted authentic Cuban food and he took us to a fancier restaurant than we wanted with a doorman. He said it was BBQ. We kept asking if it was expensive and he said no, but we were limited on how many CUCs we had. We ended up ordering appetizers for $9. All I could get was tuna on lettuce, no dressing and my husband got four small pieces of Bruschetta. He kept trying to get us to buy tickets for some night spot even though we kept saying no. And he kept giving us business cards to sell things. I was very disappointed in the walking tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a little pushy with his side jobs (selling gold or something like that?). We enjoyed the place he took us to eat, the food was delicious. Luckily we had plenty of money for lunch even tho it was more expensive than we were expecting. The rest of the tour he was great, very informative.

CarolinaGirl2010 Posted April 16, 2019 #11 Share Posted April 16, 2019 it was a nice restaurant, but not what we wanted. We had said we wanted something simple and fast more than once, and when he said BBQ, we figured he understood. And yes, it was gold bars he was pushing.

Old Timer Cruiser Posted April 17, 2019 #13 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I would highly recommend Havana Journeys they advertised 3 hours walking an3 hours in a car but by the time we were done we had been out for 7 and a half hours. The guides are very informative and know all the history. And the price was excellent $120 CUC for the both of us. They will take you anywhere you want to go.

LadyLauren75 Posted April 17, 2019 #14 Share Posted April 17, 2019 We could not have been happier choosing Havanacar Our 3 hour walking tour was better than we expected. Kenya, our guide was very informative. He answered all our questions and knew just what to show us. We also took a 3 hour classic car tour with Jose in a stunning Ford 1955 Convertible. Again, very informative. Both guides were flexible to ensure we saw everything on our list and much more. Both guides made us feel very safe. It was very easy to meet Kenya. She was waiting at the entrance of an hotel less than 200 meters from the terminal. All was very easy from the booking with Stefano who literally replied my emails in less than 5 minutes to the drop off at the terminal at the end of the tour. And the price was much better than the ship. I Highly recommend this company! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Timer Cruiser Posted April 20, 2019 #16 Share Posted April 20, 2019 No we wanted the air conditioner. For 20 cuc more you can get a convertible. We were in a 56' chevrolet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpayne Posted April 22, 2019 #17 Share Posted April 22, 2019 We used them on our March visit to Havana. Would agree that Stefano was very responsive during the pre planning. I had requested 2 convertibles AND English speaking drivers for both cars. Unfortunately only 1 driver was English speaking. Was not as enjoyable for those with the non English speaking driver unfortunately as they felt they merely just drove by everything and not quite sure what they were looking at. Both cars were in good condition, easy to find our drivers when we exited the ship, etc. Only wish we had English speaking guides for both cars.....
