Discover the most fascinating city in the Caribbean, which seems to be unaffected by the passing of time, were nostalgia and romanticism await, the queen of the bay, Havana. On our Free Tour of Havana’s Historical Center you will go from the colonial times to its independence, from its most cosmopolitan moment to the Revolution and its uncertain present.
Discover its relevance in times of the Spanish conquest, why the biggest fort in America was built in Havana and how explorers across the ocean exterminated the indigenous people. Understand the strategic importance that led the city under Spanish rule at first, then British, then Spanish again only to be lost one more time to the USA, and hear how it became independent in the 20th Century.
See one of the oldest universities in America, impressive palaces, and a stunning Baroque style cathedral where Cristopher Columbus’ ashes were first kept.
On our Historical Center Tour of Havana you will soak in the unique atmosphere of this incomparable city, where time hasn’t yet accelerated, and feel the charm that has attracted different cultures over so many centuries, making her the most wanted lady of the Caribbean, the Key to the New World.

This tour was a wonderful introduction to Old Havana. Our Tour guide Marcel was very kind and knowledgeable. I did a few different tours while in Havana and Strawberry Tours was my favorite! Would definitely recommend!

Awesome company with amazing tour guides. We had Marcel for the Cuban history tour and Ceasar for the nightlife tour; both tours were great! We then took the food tour with Marcel, also a ton of fun. Enjoy this great company!
