Manuel, our guide...

NICOLASGUSTAVO_S, Oct 2025

Manuel, our Cuban guide, was very good! But I wouldn't do it again without priority entry! We were informed that admission would take approximately 40’, but we were more than an hour and a half to enter! And that is that we chose without priority access, because we wanted to tour in Spanish... and it was what we got (and bought in time). Yes, I would again, NOT without priority access!
