Havana Taster
This trip was created for all visitors of Havana who do not have enough time for an intensive sightseeing tour, but who nevertheless want to see the highlights of the cuban capital. For only two hours by riding our e-bikes, close to classic american oldtimers, velotaxis and horse-drawn carriages, we will explore the elegancies and peculiarities of Havana. Starting from “El Vedado“, going to “Habana Centro“ and “Habana Vieja” and regressing by the Malecon in only two hours, you get an ingenious overview about the heady metropolis.
Our local Tourguide waits for you in the Parque Mariana Grajales across from the iranian restaurant „Topoly“ at 10 am for the morning tour and at 2 pm for the afternoon tour. Please pay attention for which tour you signed and what is written on your voucher. (Alternatively in case of closed groups you also can agree another meetingpoint with us.)
After a short walk to the e-bikes you will get a short introduction about them, the conditions of the cuban streets and the cuban traffic rules. We will adjust the e-bikes appropriate to your body height and already we can start the trip.
