About
I run a family travel business with so many tales to tell. I was born in small town in Holguin and never thought I would own a classic car. Never. But necessity and times feed my passion for these beautiful cars. I greatly care for my luxury classic cars from the 50s, which are comfortable, in good share, and air conditioned.
I not only want to drive you through the best of Havana, but to make you laugh and enjoy a memorable tour in Cuba.
MY EXPERIENCES
traveler reviews
We had such an amazing experience, I don't even know where to begin!
Rubi contacted me shortly after I booked, and we emailed several times, about plans for the tour. I felt like I knew her before we even met.... She must have felt the same because I got a big hug hello, when we finally met!
Rubi took us every where we had wanted to go, and she is so informative. We had a great view of Havana from Cristo de la Havana, and she would point out different structures, and tell us about them. My husband pointed out a random, and fairly new piece of representational art we saw in passing, and Rubi knew the entire history behind it, the artist, and the meaning. She knows all the best places to visit, and make sure to write down all her recommendations for additional places to visit after, because we were so glad we did!!! She speaks with such incredible passion, and has a wealth of knowledge to share. We are all the better for having met her, and hope to catch her again next time we visit!
It was fun to watch the cannon ceremony, and explore. If you are looking for souvenirs, Fortaleza de la Cabaña is the place to get them. We wish we had purchased more items here, because the quality and prices were the best we saw!

Hola chicos
Si, sentí lo mismo, como si los conociera de antes, tanto así que acordamos q los recogería con un cartel con su nombre, y el cartel nunca hizo falta, los reconocí, al instante. Me encantó trabajar con ustedes, lo único q lamentó es el tiempo, tan corto, que pasamos. Hablé y hablé de mi país, pero me hubiera gustado mucho escucharlos hablar del lugar, donde viven, así es como aprendo lo que se. Nos volveremos a ver, lo sé.
Muchas gracias por todo. GRACIAS

The most complete, friendly and comfortable tour on La Havana we could have chosen!
With an extraordinary charisma, a very good historical knowledge, and an excellent attitude, Ruby adjusts her tours to your wishes and expectations. She is not complicated with too strict schedules: she advises you, but leaves you to decide if it is the way you want to do it, or the places that you want to visit or not. She is a very educated and kind person, who makes you feel with the confidence of being able to initiate a frank and great conversation on every small detail of the city.
Ruby is supremely responsible, will never fail you, and will do everything in her hands to make your experience in La Havana the best. We traveled my wife and I, along with a couple of friends, and we all agreed that Ruby and her team are the best face of Cuba.
Choose her without thinking. You will not regret it!

We booked Ruby on her 6-hour tour of Cuba and highly recommend for you to do the same. She was waiting right outside the cruise port for us with a big smile. That immediately set our nerves on ease. Her car is well kept and air conditioned. She provided us with any information we asked and was very flexible with what we wanted to see. (we choose not to see a few museums). We learned so much of the history of Cuba and saw more of the island than I imagined.
Thank you, Ruby, for the wonderful day!

Ruby and her husband will make your experience unforgettable. They are very knowledgeable of the history and culture of Cuba. My Dad is an 80 year old retired school principal that studied the history prior to our trip and they were able to clarify all his doubts. She took care of everything in our list of desires and even helped us bargain at the market and play with our kid so we could shop at ease. I am already recommending her to my best friend who is going down.

My husband & I had an amazing time with Ruby. We drove around Havana changing cars about 5 or 6 times. She took us to a lot of interesting places & we were able to get a great overview of Havana. After the day tour, she dropped us off at our cruise ship & we made plans for her to come pick us up at 0900 to take us to/from The Tropicana Show. It was so nice to already have the connection during the day...we felt safe & comfortable at all times. Ciao Ruby!
