Lois Brassart review 12 Apr 20104 star rating

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


There wasn't one highlight, the whole trip was a memorable experience. At this point what I know is I don't know Cuba. I thought I had an opinion on Cuba before I left, however this is a very complex society and as our tour guide said the first day, unless you live here it is difficult to really understand.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Go with an open mind and you will be amazed.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Very beneficial.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

Walking and meeting the locals in the region of Viņales.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Be very suspicious of anyone that approaches you, sadly they are more or less always after something!

Yes.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


Great, but would prefer more decent contact with the locals when possible.

Edward Bell review 29 Oct 20074 star rating

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


Sitting on the steps in Trinidad in the evening drinking cocktails whilst live bands played and the locals all salsa'd deep into the night. It was wonderful to watch.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


If you are a vegetarian be prepared to have few choices when eating.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Yes.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


It was good. The only issue I had was that the hotels were mainly located a few kilometres from the cities and so this made it harder to go out in the evening. It would have been nicer to be more centrally located.
