I am a retired English teacher currently working as an independent tour guide and translator. I have been working as a tour guide since 1990 and have great experience in this field. As a guide, I assure you that you will have an unforgettable experience, in a safe way. My tours are designed to suit all tastes and interests. You will find in me a friendly professional guide. My goal is to show you my city by visiting its monuments and the most important streets, in this way you will familiarize yourself with the history and architecture of the only city founded in Cuba by the French colonizers, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005. I toured with independent travelers and mostly with expeditioners who wrote good reviews about me on Trip Advisor and Cruise Critics.
I will pick you up at the statue of Benny Moré in the Prado and I will walk with you through the main streets of my city, where you will be in contact with Cuban and local culture. We will visit the city center, where we will see the most important places and take photos, we will visit the La Unión hotel and on its terrace you will have a panoramic view of the city. I will briefly tell you everything about the founding of the city, its benefactors and main characters from the past and present, we will visit the Cathedral and the different buildings that surround Plaza José Marti We will go to an art gallery and have a tasty Cuban coffee (the guide invites), we will enter a pharmacy and I will tell you about the Cuban health system, we will visit the artisan market where you can buy works of art made by local artists, we will go to the Market Square where the locals buy their food, and I will take you to a electronic equipment repair workshop. If you like Cuban music, we will sit in the Terry Patio to rest and tell you about the activities that take place there. In this interactive tour you will enjoy our architecture, history, culture, sports, customs and traditions of my town and country. The tour ends at the Muelle Real (Piña Colada) and we will visit the Engraving Workshop and the Artists' Workshop where you can see the best visual artists of Cienfuegos at work. The tour times are at 9.30 am and then at 3.30 pm in ENGLISH and SPANISH as the walker prefers at both times. The tour lasts approximately 3 hours. If you have problems walking, we can shorten the tour or adapt it to your conditions . If all the clients are in the same hotel or hostel I can pick them up.
