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

Every day was an adventure so it's difficult to pick a highlight. We cycled a day off road around the country side in the south-east of the island which was great fun. The following day we walked up to Fidel's hide-out in the Sierra Meastra. The scenery was beautiful. Another highlight was visiting Trinidad, a colourful place with some lovely architecture. We spent the evenings listening to some great live cuban music.

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

It's not easy to draw money out so I would take Sterling/Euro and change it at the airport in Havana. You need enough cycling gear to last you about a week. Once you get to Trinidad you can wash your clothes at the casa particulares that you stay in for a very small price.

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

Yes, I do. We stayed 2 nights in Casa Particulares (a cuban family that sets up a bed and breakfast business in their home). Also one of our guides was cuban and the bus driver too.

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

Absolutely fantastic. I never thought that going on holiday on your own could be so much fun. It was a real adventure and I have very fond memories of my time there.
