Hola, adventurous soul!
I’m Rafael—your go-to Havana insider, living and breathing this city’s vibrant culture and rich history for over a decade. Tired of tours that feel like history class on autopilot? So was I. That’s why I set out to transform the way visitors experience Havana—making every story pulse with life, personality, and a dash of Cuban flair.
With years of expertise designing unforgettable travel itineraries, leading dynamic tours, and collaborating with local artists and cultural groups, I offer experiences that go far beyond the postcard views. My background as a professor and my boundless curiosity mean I turn Havana’s complex history and culture into something fun, accessible, and genuinely engaging—tailored for curious minds like yours.
I’m passionate about connecting with travelers from all corners of the globe. Every question is welcomed with enthusiasm and insight, turning our time together into a lively, interactive conversation—not a one-sided lecture. I’m fluent in English and Spanish (with a sprinkle of Italian), and I’m ready to reveal Havana’s best-kept secrets, hidden gems, and local legends. I claim expertise in everything Cuban—except dancing, but don’t worry, I’ll be your biggest fan if you want to give it a try! 😉
Ready to go beyond the guidebook and experience Havana in a way you’ll never forget? Let’s make your adventure in Cuba truly extraordinary!
Hands down, the best walking tour I’ve had in Havana! Rafa was incredibly flexible and attentive, tailoring the experience to match my interests. This wasn’t just a sightseeing tour—it was a deep and meaningful exchange, where I gained real insights into Cuba beyond its streets and landmarks. Through Rafa’s openness and knowledge, I not only saw Havana but truly understood it—its history, its people, and the realities of daily life. His ability to share these stories with passion and honesty made the experience even more impactful. What inspired me most was Rafa’s resilience and hope. Despite the challenges, he continues to believe in a better future, and that optimism is truly admirable. Wishing him all the best in his journey ahead—may he continue to inspire others just as he did for me! 🌟 Gracias, Rafa! Keep shining! 🌟
