What would you do if your private guide in Havana doesn’t show?

[sherifa]

We have a friend who booked a private guide in Havana for the day. They are wondering what to do in the event that the guide doesn’t show up. Any suggestions?

My backup plan: Hire a classic car taxi to dive around some at $40 per hour. To help I have printed out a small map of Havana with a route and stops marked to help with communications. After the drive I plan to walk around Habana Vieja, again added by a printed out map I have marked.

 

On the other hand, if my guide does show up I just plan to just follow his lead.

I would absolutely have them confirm in advance ... then if the guide doesn't show up, I'd show myself around ... or potentially find a new guide. But .. I'd totally name the guide in my "after report". No one wants their plans to be canceled like that!

Great plan....that's what I'd do.

Just hire someone else on the spot. There are plenty.
