Our Private Havana Classic Car Tour
You’ll be picked up from your Havana accommodation, local landmark, or the capital’s cruise ship terminal at a time of your choosing, with each of our Havana classic car tour options having a flexible start time.

About our Private Havana Classic Car Tour
Havana’s fleet of American-made vintage cars is a quintessential part of the Cuba capital. Now dating back more than 60 years, their continued use results primarily from the post-revolution US trade embargo that makes it too expensive to import newer vehicles. This happy accident of history makes the streets of Havana almost unique in the world, and a Havana classic car tour something of a must while in the city. A Havana classic car tour is a superb way to see the authentic side of Havana. From street level, and the low rumble of the convertible’s throbbing engine, Havana will reveal itself in its full glory, from its major thoroughfares to its tiniest of alleyways. And with tour options lasting from one to four hours, how can you resist the temptation of snapping your way around the city in a classic convertible?

Examples of Private Havana Classic Car Tour Itineraries
Option One – Malecon, Vedado, Miramar and Revolution Square
This one-hour Havana classic car tour will take you along the seafront promenade known as the Malecon, a hive of activity throughout the day, which stretches for eight kilometers from the mouth of the harbor in Old Havana to the Vedado neighborhood. Here you’ll discover a more modern part of the city, developed during the first half of the twentieth century and home to many bars and restaurants along La Rampa. Miramar meanwhile is one of the capital’s more affluent districts, home to some very fine mansions and churches. The tour continues to Revolution Square, a huge space dominated by a memorial to national hero José Martí, before dropping you back at the tour start point.
Option Two – Malecon, El Cristo Statue and El Morro Fort
Also scheduled to last one hour, our second Havana classic car tour option begins, like our first option, with a drive along the Malecon promenade. You’ll head to the hilltop location of the El Cristo de La Habana statue in the suburb of Casablanca. The large Carrara marble sculpture of Jesus Christ was commissioned in 1953, and rises to a height of around 20 meters. Returning towards Old Havana, this Havana classic car tour visits El Morro fort, which has helped defend Havana’s harbor for centuries since 1589, before returning to the tour start point.
Option Three - Vedado, Miramar, Colon Cemetery, Revolution Square, Malecon, El Cristo Statue and El Morro Fort
This two-hour Havana classic car tour takes in all the sights visited as part of both the option one and option two tours, including the Malecon, Vedado and Miramar districts, the El Cristo Statue in Casablanca, and El Morro fort on the harbor front. In addition, your chauffeur-driven tour will pass by the Colon Cemetery in Vedado. Created in 1876, it is known for its exquisite memorials, and boasts more than 500 impressive mausoleums belonging to some of the most important families in Cuba.
Option Four - Vedado, Miramar, Colon Cemetery, Revolution Square, Malecon, El Cristo Statue, El Morro Fort and Fusterlandia
Our fourth option for our convertible classic car rides lasts three hours, providing you with enough time to explore all that is included in our two-hour tour above, with time for the chance to discover Fusterlandia on the outskirts of Havana too. This combined fishing village and outdoor art gallery was the brain child of one man – resident artist José Fuster. He began to decorate him home with elaborate mosaic style forms, before moving on to his neighbors’ properties, and this fantasyland of the imagination now incorporates more than 80 buildings.
Option Five - Vedado, Miramar, Colon Cemetery, Revolution Square, Malecon, El Cristo Statue, El Morro Fort and Playas del Este
To enjoy the full convertible classic car experience, you’ll want to pick our fifth and final option. Scheduled to last four hours, this Havana classic car tour takes in all the stops of option three. In addition, it visits Playas del Este, the nearest beach to Havana, where you can enjoy the sun, sea, and sand.
