Tour description

The turning point that the Revolution represented in Cuban history began a process that, more than half a century later, continues to spark passions and conflicting interpretations. It is, without a doubt, a founding milestone in Cuban national narrative.
For this reason, the Cuban Revolution requires a more careful consideration of context than any previous period in Cuban history.

Why did a revolution succeed in Cuba ? What is the Cuban Revolution ? What were the causes that led to it? How has Cuban life changed since 1959? Does the Revolution still exist? 🇨🇺
I will focus on the answers to these and other questions in this Free Tour to decipher the wealth of stories that make up Cuba .

This won't be your typical Old Havana tour. This tour doesn't aim to show the tangible, but rather the intangible and cultural aspects of Cuba: its history, changes, contexts, and contradictions.

If you're interested in exploring the buildings and sites of Old Havana's historic center, this isn't the tour for you. You can check out other free tour options here on GuruWalk .

What is needed for the tour?
Encouragement to listen 👂, comfortable shoes 👟 , a bottle of water 🚰 , sunscreen🧴 and a hat or cap 👒🧢.

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to write to me. 🤳😉
