Enjoy an unforgettable evening of Mojitos, Daiquiris, Salsa dance, and Cuban spark as we walk through Old Havana by night. On our Free Tour of Havana by Night you will understand how this old Caribbean capital became a legendary city.

Try the only other cocktail capable of competing with the Mojito, the Daiquiri, Hemingway’s favorite drink, in the same bar where he sat to drink them in copious quantities.

Be captivated by Salsa music played live, and dare to dance with a local. If you don’t know how to, learn in a terrace with views of the city and a teacher whose hips seem to be made of rubber. Feel vibrating through you the unmistakable rhythm of Salsa, the true heartbeat of Cuba.

On our Tour of Havana by night you will discover the true essence of Cuba, just how the great Cuban writer Dani Chaviano explained it: “Through Cubans veins no blood runs, only fire: melodious fire which melts textures and obstacles, which prevents moderation and, often, reflection. But that’s how we are, and that’s our biggest charm and fault: we are made of music”.

Free Havana Nightlife Tour Highlights

Taste the true Mojito, made with the original recipe and that secret ingredient which you can’t find outside the Caribbean.
Visit up to five bars which fight over the throne of the best cocktail makers, and decide who deserves the crown.
Walk through the Old Town, dig into the African origins of its music and soak in the warmth of its night culture; a journey back to the past.

The tour was brilliant and the guide was superb

5 out of 5

My friends and I went in the free Havana Nightlife Tour with Strawberry. Mitchel (Mike) was our tour guide. The tour was brilliant and the guide was superb. We went to three traditional Cuban venues the last of which included a free salsa dance lesson. In all a great night. Thanks Mike!

Great introduction to Cuban nightlife

5 out of 5

Despite not drinking any alcohol herself, Claudia delivered a wonderful tour to four Havana bars that served a wealth of cocktails, including the revered mojito and daiquiri. Soon after the third drink, our somewhat inebriated herd of English-speakers arrived at the final bar, where we saw a magnificent display of salsa, where we later tried to haphazardly emulate the moves of the instructor. A great experience.
