Private City Tour Santiago de Cuba
Private City Tour Santiago de Cuba
Known as the ‘Heroic City’ for the contribution of its people during the Cuban revolution and independence wars, Santiago de Cuba is a unique city with multiple layers, where visitors can get in touch with the idiosyncrasies of its people, culture and history. The traditions here have earned Santiago de Cuba the label as Cuba’s most Caribbean destination.
Santiago de Cuba’s geography is hot and hilly; its tenor exotic and carnivalesque. With an expert local guide, you’ll discover what makes this city tick. An introductory city tour is good value – both to see the in-town sights and the historic landmarks in the immediate vicinity.
This tour takes you to the Loma de San Juan (San Juan Hill; famous site of Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders’ charge); Moncada Barracks; and Revolution Square. Our guide brings Santiago’s history to life by providing context and sharing stories from the city’s colorful past.
This tour also includes panoramic visits to the sprawling and serene Cemetery Santa Ifigenia (see also under Remarks), Castillo El Moro (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and the Bar Ron Caney (rum).
Free time is scheduled to stroll through Park Céspedes – a gathering spot for Santiagueros young and old to play chess, make music or sit on a bench to gossip and people watch.
