Shelman is an outstanding tour guide and lovely human. He is extremely knowledgeable, and his passion for history, culture and social issues makes this tour so special. Shelman is a kind soul, taking into account our needs (for shade, a sitting area, water), answering questions we had as tourists having arrived only the day prior, and even ordering us a taxi at the end. I can’t get over how much he knows about Cuban history and present day complexities - and his creative, compassionate and engaging ways of presenting that knowledge. We were lucky to be in a small group, but his tours would be exceptional even without the personal touch, I’m certain. I have done a number of walking tours over the years. This one was hands down the best.

I had a wonderful tour with Shelman. I was the only that showed up at the tour. So, beside learning a lot of interesting things about the Revolution, I also learned a lot about the day-to-day life of the Cuban people. The highlight of the tour was the "Proyecto Cultural Garabato" (https://www.facebook.com/p/Proyecto-Cultural-Garabato-100064800423895/) that helps local kids via beautiful artistic activities. Thank you, Shelman, for this beautiful and personal tour!

Join the Free Cuban Revolution Tour and learn the ins and outs of one of the longest-lasting revolutions in history. The words of Fidel Castro, “No matter who falls, no matter who dies, the Cuban Revolution will not disappear,” have been proven correct over the years. The Cuban Revolution Free Tour has been designed to accommodate all types of visitors, from novices who are curious to see the main landmarks to those who want to delve deeper and discover some unknown facts. Most tours will begin around the Statue of Jose Marti near Revolution Square, the scene of many of Fidel Castro’s political rallies, where on some occasions he has addressed over a million Cubans. The square also features memorials to two revolutionary heroes, Che Guevara and Camilo Cienfuegos.

The tour will make its way to the Revolution Museum and the Granma Yacht monument, where they will hear how the revolution started in 1956 when a group of 82 ‘guerrilleros’ crossed the Gulf of Mexico on board the now legendary yacht Granma with the aim of overthrowing and replacing the dictatorship of Batista. At the Eternal Flame monument, the group will learn of the great sacrifices that were made and the lives lost. As the group wanders around this area, they will discover how an army of 800 fighters managed to defeat an army of 70,000, proving that sometimes conviction and idealism can be more powerful than numbers. They’ll also learn about the lives of its leaders, the Castro brothers and the iconic Che Guevara.

Enabling them to gain an insight into how Cubans live, how they overcome the daily obstacles and how they have managed to survive using creative economy.
