On our Free Revolution Tour you will learn about one of the longest lasting battles in history, which validates Fidel Castro’s quote: “No matter who falls, no matter who dies, the Cuban Revolution will not disappear”.
Hear how in 1956 a group of guerrilleros crossed the Gulf of Mexico on board the legendary yacht Granma to overthrow Batista’s dictatorship; out of the 82 guerrilleros, only 12 survived, to which Fidel responded: “12 of us made it, now the Revolution is truly triumphant”.
See the consequences of the Revolution, from its fulfilled dreams such as the public education and health systems, to its great challenges such as censorship, isolation or the economic blockade. See how Cubans overcome the daily obstacles while managing to survive through a creative everyday economy.
On our Revolution Tour you will understand that Fidel’s Havana is different to how its perceived from abroad, that in order to fully grasp it you have to feel the heat of Cuba, enjoy its beauty, suffer its public transport, rejoice in the endless delight of the Havanans, feel sorry and jealous at the same time, feel love and somehow resentment, feel La Habana, feel the Revolution.
