We were very impressed with Juan Carlos' French & English & how he made our journeys very interesting. He was extremely knowledgeable & gave lots of information on history & life in Cuba.
Before leaving home we booked a private tour from Havana to Vinales, stating the places we wished to stop. It was a set price for 4 people in a very comfortable minivan (spacious with lots of luggage room). The tour went way over the 8 hours allocated - partly because of the state of the back roads, but mainly because Juan Carlos our driver/guide was just so interesting and knowledgeable. We paid 10cuc for additional hours.
We also booked a minivan taxi from Vinales to Playa Giron (Bay of Pigs). We were delighted to find Juan Carlos was taking us. Two additonal stops were added - breakfast & a visit to a local casa near Playa Larga to see tiny honey hummingbirds - the smallest birds in the world. I recommend visiting.
I suggest you book your trip/s a few weeks prior to your journey if you can (we didn't) and have the start and finish addresses to hand, with phone numbers. When booking it is 30% paid up front with fee in dollars, the remainder amount paid in cash to the first driver. A bit long winded but it worked well.
Unfortunately our 3rd trip had to be cancelled as the President stated that all tourists had to leave Cuba due to coronavirus.
I would like to thank Juan Carlos for all his help & for sharing his knowledge with us. We thoroughly enjoyed travelling with him & wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company. We wish him & his family all the best

Our group of 6 booked a transfer from Varadero Airport to a Central Havana location that is difficult to find as well as a trip from Central Havana to a resort in Varadero. The drivers were courteous, on time and accommodating when we requested stops for refreshments. The cost of the service was very competitive with other providers. I have no hesitation recommending Taxi Vinales Cuba for your transport needs in Cuba.

An excellent service with friendly drivers who were totally reliable and punctual. Would recommend.
We were a group of 4 adults travelling in Cuba for 3 weeks and used taxivinalescuba.com for collection and drop off at the airport as well the following trips:
Havana to Cienfuegos
Cienfuegos to Trinidad
Trinidad to Cayo Coco
Cayo Coco to Varadero
Varadero to Havana
We decided to use the taxi service to travel around Cuba as it was more economical than hiring our own car or finding drivers and negotiating trips with other taxi companies who were waiting around the hotels. Also reading reviews about travelling by local buses and the problems encountered. We were relaxed and stress free on our trips.
Taxi Vinales Cuba was very well organised . Our journeys ranged from 2 -6 hours and our collection points were hotels and one casa particular. We were provided with an air conditioned minivan in good condition.
The drivers were always punctual, friendly and helpful. (If they knew of photographic opportunities, they had no problems of stopping and allowing us to get out and take photos).
For one of our trips our hotel had a problem with a hotel booking and had to change at the last minute, Taxi Vinales Cuba were very quick to answer and accommodate the changes

I am really impressed regarding the collaboration I had with Taxi Vinales Cuba. They understood what we needed and the answers were really prompt and useful.
As a travel agent, I usually search for many offers when I need a local supplier, both for my personal trips or for work, and I can confirm you that they have the best rates and the best customer care services.

We did the following transfers in Cuba with Taxi Vinales in February and March 2020: from Habana Airport to Habana Old Town, from Habana to Vinales, from Vinales to Trinidad and from Trinidad to Playa Jibacoa, all together more than 1000 kilometers with different drivers and cars. We booked all transfers in advance from home. We had to pay the transfers in advance which was something that made me a bit nervous at the beginning.
But don’t worry, everything worked perfect: all drivers were at the pickup places before schedule (15-20 minutes) and the cars (taxis) were really good. The drivers were very kind and drove very carefully and made a break whenever we asked for one. All in all, the rides were very pleasant and we can fully recommend this service. And in addition, it was no problem at all to get in contact with Taxi Vinales via email. They answered each request very quickly (thank you Juan!). If ever I travel to Cuba again, I will book transfers with Taxi Vinales, for sure!

It was very difficult to find taxi/van service when preparing few days before arriving in Cuba and Taxi Vinales were the only company to answer, very promptly and in perfect in English. They are amazing professionals: they were very efficient providing service were we were all around Cuba: La hanava, Vinales, Trinidad, Cienfuegos. All the drivers were very nice. We highly recommend Tax Vinales

We used this company for 5 transfers during our recent trip to Cuba. Each driver was punctual, and friendly. We were very impressed with the service we received and would definitely recommend them. A special thank you to the driver who picked us up fron Havana and took us to Jibacoa. The weather was absolutely horrendous and he drove us there safely and even carried our suitcases to the apartment in the pouring rain. Also his son who picked us up in Jibacoa and took us back to the airport. He was so friendly and gave us such an insight to Cuban life and culture.

Our group of 4, booked several transfers with this company, during our vacation in Cuba.
All the drivers were on time, provide excellent service, and always were ready to stop when we requested.
Due to unexpected circumstances, we were obliged to change our last transfer. So instead of going from Cayo Santa Maria to Varadero , we had to go directly to Havana Int. Airport.
Taxi Vinales Cuba immediately readjusted our schedule and sent a mini van, so we were transferred to the airport in shortest time.
Also the partial money back process( which we did not expect at all) was fast and professional.
This company has also very competitive prices , compared with other agencies.
Would recommend anyone by all means

I hired Taxi Vinales for three inter-city trips in Feb. 2020 - Havana to Trinidad, Trinidad to Camagúez and Camagúez to Santiago. I was very happy and completely satisfied each time. The drivers always showed up a few minutes earlier than scheduled. The cars were clean, comfortable and air conditioned. And the drivers were friendly and even helped me improve my Spanish. i recommend Taxi Vinales without hesitation.

We had a very good experience with Taxi Vinales during our Honeymoon in Cuba. Taxis were always on time and the tour through the Bay of Pigs, Cienfuegos, the indigenous sanctuary and on to Trinidad was wonderful. We also stopped along the way for some of the best food during our entire trip! Our guide and driver were very knowledgeable and friendly as well. The taxi from Santa Clara back to Havana was not bad, although a little expensive and the driver picked up one or two friends along the road. Not an issue but unexpected when you are paying so much. All in all though, a very good experience and I would strongly recommend if you want to see more of Cuba in a fairly limited time.

Bonjour
Nous devons aller à cuba du 13 juin au 22 juin 2020 et aurions besoin de trouver un véhicule avec chauffeur pour visite l'ile de cuba.
Certains d'entre-vous ont-ils eu recours au Taxi Vinales et dans l'affirmative quel était le prix d'une journée.
Dans la négative auprès de quel organisme ou chauffeur avez vous contacté pour organiser votre voyage.
Avec mes remerciements anticipés pour votre aide

Hallo François. Nous avons voyagé à Cuba avec Taxi Viñales pendant 15 jours et le service est excellent et très professionnel, avec de nouveaux véhicules. N'hésitez pas et contractez avec cette entreprise. Cela ne vous décevra pas.

HI,
I was wondering how much taxi drives charge per day. I read lots of reviews but none of them mention prices. Would appreciate it. thank you

this is always a topic of negotiations and depending onto where you want to go.
I would ask on different websites for offers, also here you will see different prices, but it gives you an excellent impression about what to expect. In Kuba we also asked official tour companies for price comparison. It give you an excellent hint for price negotiations. If you make several appointments with the same taxi driver you can get of course better prices.

HI, I've been wondering how to find a mini van for a group? I want to book from Havana to Vinales and taxis seem very expensive that I found. The bus seems too rough for a couple of the people.
Was your mini van and driver expensive? Air conditioning? It took days for me to finally find someone who used a minivan. thanks

Taxi Viñales offered 7 seats van with air condition. You will not fit 7 large suitcases, maybe 7 small ones - but then the car will be stuffed! We payed 160 cuc for the same trip. Convenient and reliable.

Peut on avoir une idée des tarifs?

Moustiers Sainte-Marie, France2 contributions
Il faut sans arrêt négocier. Ce ne sont pas les tarifs français et il faut trouver une cote mal taillée en rapport au salaire moyen cubain qui avoisine les 20 eu.
Une simple course peut vite grimpez 20-30 eu. Un prof gagne 25 eu, un médecin 40 eu.
Bien faire préciser aussi si le tarif est par personne ou pour la course.
Bon voyage !

Hi, I just checked their website and for me it is not clear if the prices they announce are per person in the group or for the whole group.
Possibly anyone of you knows and could help me to clarify this point.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Bonjour,
Pou 4 personnes, vous avez choisi quel voiture ? standard ou mini van?
Merci pour votre retour,
Bonne journée
