The Havana Music Tour for the International Jazzย Festival was incredible. Chaz and Yami and their wonderful team provided us with the most amazing experiences: learning about the Santeria religion, a rumba dance party, salsa lesson, a farm experience, a music history lesson with a wonderful D. J. The tour could be called the Havana Music, Culture and Cusine Tour. I would go again! Read More

We just got home from Cuba and a private trip with Havana Music Tours during the Havana World Musicย Festival. Cuba has been on our bucket list for some years and this seemed like a perfect fit. We could tell that the Havana Music Tours team was really well-connected with the Havana music scene. We saw a wonderful diversity of artists and musical styles in often unique settings. Havana is not like other places, as information on musical happenings is not easy to come by. Havana Music Tours made it easy for us. Read More

Echoing the sentiment of many others before me- this was a life-changing tour. I’ve traveled to 30+ countries and this tour put Cuba at the very top! We went for the Fiesta del Tambor. My father is a percussionist, so this was a gift for him. But it was the level of personalization Chaz went to to make this a unique experience that really made the trip so special. Read More

First off, It’s very easy to recommend any tour with Chaz and Yami. Period. Honestly, I was a little skeptical about so many glowing TripAdvisor reviews. Here comes another glowing review, haha. I can say easily, without hyperbole, that the experience with Havana Music Tours was life-changing! The trip exceeded expectations. Read More
