Havana in a Day Tour

What is your cancellation policy?

You can get a full refund if you notify us at least 14 days prior to your tour date. We recommend you to book your tour well in advance because our availability changes quickly.

Can I change the day of my tour?

You can certainly request a change of date for your tour as long as we have availability. We will always try our best to accommodate you.

Can I pay in USD?

Once you arrive in Cuba, you will only be able to use CUC, which is the tourist currency. Your guide will be able to help you exchange money on arrival if needed.

What’s the CUC exchange currency fee if I want to change USD?

All currencies have a 3% exchange fee. US Dollars have an additional 10% tax upon exchange. That means 100 USD will get you 87CUC in return because of the 10% tax and 3% fee. Therefore, we suggest bringing EUR, Pounds or even Canadian Dollars to avoid paying the 10% additional tax.

Can I choose the model and color of my vintage car?

If you have any preferences, do not hesitate to let us know. We will certainly try our best to fulfill your wishes, however we are not able to guarantee its availability given the amount of bookings we receive.

How many people fit in your vintage cars?

Each car fits 5 people plus the driver. If your group size is bigger than 5, then you’ll need an additional car. Our Private Tour Coordinators will inform you on the options we offer.

In terms of distance, how much are we going to cover during the walking tour?

During our Havana in a Day Tour we walk approximately 3km over around 4 hours with several breaks. It can be shortened if needed or requested, and the guide will always walk in your pace.

What if I have mobility issues?

If you think that it will be too much walking, please do let us know and our Private Tour Coordinators will suggest different options to suit your needs. It’s important to know that Havana’s Centre has very old cobblestone streets.

Can we shorten the tour if we don't have 10h available?

Absolutely. Our itineraries are flexible and we will be able to customize the tour to your needs.

I have 2 days in Havana, can I split the tour?

Yes. We will always try to accommodate to your needs. We also have a large offer of tours which can be combined in different days.

Can you handle large parties?

The more the merrier! We can absolutely arrange tours for large parties. Don’t forget to mention the number of people in your group so our Tour Coordinators can plan everything accordingly! Kindly consider that for every 20 people, we will assign one guide.

Are tips included?

Tips are not included in the price and not mandatory. However, feel free to tip your guide if you think they did a good job!

Can I still travel to Cuba as a US-Citizen?

The short answer is, yes! The US government has banned travel under the “People to People” OFAC category, but almost a dozen other license categories still permit US citizens to visit Cuba.

When you check in for your flight from a US airport to Cuba, you’ll be asked to sign a Travel Authorization Affidavit. Here, you can tick the “Support for the Cuba People” box and obtain your Tourist Card in order to board your flight! If you are traveling under any other license category, choose accordingly.

Make sure to check with your airline for specific arrangements.

Do I need to provide any evidence that I am indeed traveling under the “Support for the Cuban People” category?

Usually, no. Yet since these regulations are evolving quickly, it is recommended to have a comprehensive itinerary that demonstrates cultural immersion and interaction with private and other non-state entities in while on the island.

A return flight and evidence of reservations at a Casa Particular are essential.

Are your tours compliant with US-imposed sanctions and rules for US citizens visiting Cuba?

Yes! All of our tours in Cuba are led by independent Cuban entrepreneurs who dedicate their time to showing others the wonder of this wonderful island. As such, Strawberry Tours in Cuba are fully compliant under the “Support for the Cuban People” OFAC license category (31 C.F.R. § 515.574) available for US-citizens flying to Cuba.

During our tours, we will make sure you visit permitted establishments while still getting the very best and most authentic experience you could possibly have during your visit.

How can I be sure my trip to Cuba from the United States is compliant with US-imposed sanctions?

When traveling under the “Support for the Cuban People” category, you are not permitted to engage with any entity which maintains connections with the Cuban government. This includes state-owned restaurants, hotels and event venues. You can find out more about some of the businesses not permitted under this license category here - https://www.state.gov/cuba-sanctions/cuba-restricted-list/

You should ensure that your trip includes activities that connect you directly to the Cuban people and that you support independent businesses on the island. It is highly recommended to stay at a Casa Particular and eat at private restaurants, or Paladares.

On our amazing Strawberry Tours in Havana and Trinidad we will only take you to the very best, permitted establishments so that you can enjoy this unique country with peace of mind!
