It will be a vintage American car for a group of 4 people, if there are only two or three of you, we can arrange a modern vehicle. A minivan if there’s more than 4 of you.
Money
To book this tour you need to make a small prepayment on this website. The rest is paid directly to me in cash. There are banks and exchange bureaus in Havana but you will most likely have to join a line and wait to get in. Please change your money in a bank or at the airport upon arrival if you are going to pay us in CUC. Do not forget that your passport will be required at all banks and exchange offices for any transaction!
