We take you beyond the resorts — into the rhythm of Havana, the tobacco valleys of Viñales, the colonial streets of Trinidad and the turquoise of the Bay of Pigs. Personalized private tours, guided by Cubans who actually live the story.
Authentic Cuban Tours is a family-run, locally-owned company based in Varadero and Havana. We design private, fully tailored journeys for travelers who want to feel Cuba — its music, its tobacco fields, its 1950s Chevys still roaring on the Malecón.
No giant buses. No scripted stops. Just you, a professional driver, an expert guide, and a country that opens up the moment you stop trying to plan every minute of it.

"Best Tour I've EVER Been On! This was my first tour in Cuba and now I tour with them every time I visit. I've had 3 tours with Jessica and Max and each time was amazing! Very knowledgable people that will fill your mind with amazing history of Cuba. The car is super nice, clean, AC conditioned and spacious. They showed up on time and with big smiles!"
"Collected from the hotel in a 6-seater classic Chevrolet, we experienced a truly unforgettable day that included everything we had asked for and much more, thanks to driver Ernesto and brilliant guide Debrey — such a warm, funny guy. A customised tour that incorporated the day tour, walking tour, sunset tour, and cannon shot. If you are visiting Cuba and planning an excursion, use Authentic Cuban Tours. You won't regret it."
"Our honeymoon couldn't have been better. Starting in Havana, going to Viñales, Pinar del Río, Cienfuegos, Trinidad, Santa Clara and Varadero — it has been amazing. Jessica, Max and Danny our driver have been really amazing. We were able to add sightseeing points whenever we wanted. We always felt very safe and comfortable. Definitely going to go back to Cuba and contact them again!"
"I booked this trip for my husband's 60th birthday as I wanted to do something special and I am so happy I did. We decided to go for the open top car and what a great decision that was. The car was stunning and our tour guide Yusbel was really lovely. He was very informative and made us feel so relaxed and that nothing was a bother."
"Great experience, very professional company. We used Authentic Cuban Tours for our airport transfers and all our trips during our stay in Varadero. From the very first contact I found them to be very professional and always responded quickly. Their prices are also very competitive. We booked 4 trips: Havana, Bay of Pigs, Trinidad & Cienfuegos, and Jeep Safari. Picked up on time, in beautiful cars, amazing time throughout."
