How to hire in Havana
- Contact customer service with your needs: city, group size, dates, leisure or business, rough itinerary, and whether you need a car.
- Cover the four quote essentials: destination, service type (guide / companion / private car / interpreting / transfer / medical escort, etc.), headcount, and travel dates.
- Get a quote and pay, then join a WeChat or WhatsApp group to start service.
- After the trip, confirm you're satisfied and leave a review.
When to use WeChat / WhatsApp
When Havana, rough dates, and English-related services are already decided, WeChat or WhatsApp is fastest — CS will fill in vehicle, language and itinerary details before quoting.
