At Havana Music Tours, we design private Cuba tours that let you explore this island in your own way. Whether you’re traveling alone, with a partner, family, or friends, you’ll get direct access to the music and musicians who define Cuban culture.

Picture this: You’re sitting in a hidden courtyard in Old Havana, surrounded by musicians who aren’t just performing—they’re sharing their stories. A trumpeter talks about his first time playing at the Jazz Plaza Festival. A percussionist shows you the beat that changed his life. A singer takes a break from rehearsing to teach you a few dance steps.

This isn’t a scripted tour with rehearsed lines. Our team is made up of musicians, not just guides. We know the back alleys where the best bands rehearse, the unmarked clubs where legends still play, and the quiet neighborhoods where young artists are redefining Cuban music.

You decide the focus. Maybe it’s a one-on-one percussion lesson in Matanzas, a day spent at a private recording session, a late-night jam session with a local band, or a quiet morning in a café where the owner is also a talented guitarist. You’re not a spectator here. You’re a guest in a world that most travelers never see.
