Rafael

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!
