Tailor made holidays in Cuba
Tours & holidays in 2018 & 2019

We had an excellent holiday and so it is difficult to pick out was most memorable, but we did particularly enjoy the horse ride and visit to the tobacco fields and our stay on Cayo Levisa. But we also loved Havana and Trinidad. (more)Richard Patterson

Having designed my own trip, the best aspect was the freedom to spent time doing things on a whim sitting around immersing myself in the less touristy aspects of Cuba, away from the bars and CD-touting bands, instead mixing with the least affluent of the society, meeting fascinating characters and enjoying the music made by people in their own front rooms and doorsteps.

The most memorable was visiting a 75 year old lady and her son living in what is left of a 200+ years old hacienda in the mountains surrounding Soroa, descendants of slaves who had worked on that farm. Their hospitality and joy of live, despite having very little, the beauty and wilderness of the mountains on our hike there ... (more)Thom Brenner

The tours were excellent, much better than we expected. Excellent, it was a fantastic trip and we all had a great time. (more)Julian Philpott

For me, the highlight was riding through the tobacco lands with the red earth, hot sun and beautiful scenery, or perhaps it was the horse-drawn cart trip to the waterfall and then swimming in the cool, clear water with the birds swooping in and out of their little cave nests. (more)Judy Corbett

We really enjoyed this holiday. We had a fantastic range of experiences and met some wonderful people. We've travelled extensively, but Cuba is pretty much a unique destination. (more)Alan Shelton

Definitely the friendly hosts at the casa particulars, so happy & helpful, given my limited Spanish, that made it even better in a way, so we both had to 'work' at communicating. The historical areas w/ good guides, helped to bring history alive. The scuba diving at the Bay of Pigs was ok, but the divemasters were very good, so good for father-son vacation (more)Thomas Holthus

Meeting the Cuban people was the highlight. Very enjoyable trip. (more)Roger Phillips

The most memorable was 50 miles offshore Scuba Diving in the Garden of the Queens...this is a healthy reef with sharks to nudibranchs. The soft corals where beautiful waving in the current with the reef fish. We had a wonderful trip and will be returning to Cuba and diving the Gardens. (more)Wilson Wing

Memorable parts? Meeting the warm, friendly people in cuba, our hosts at home stays and our wonderful guides. The hiking was great too. Tips? The exchange rate in cuba is not good for Americans so bring extra money as you can't use cards. Local benefits? I hope it benefited them. I know they appreciated the tips. The single use water bottle issue will be a problem quickly as the infrastructure probably can't handle the amount of tourists. Overall rating? It was... (more)Leslie Repp

Memorable parts? Visiting Havana and Trinidad Tips? Not to have a high expectation of the food. If driving get a good road map or download some maps. I managed to download an App that did actually give me my location which was helpful when getting back into Havana Local benefits? Not sure Overall rating? Good, I enjoyed the country of Cuba, was a little disappointed in the food, particularly in the hotels where we ate our evening meals. I also though the holiday was... (more)Fiona Walker

Memorable parts? We enjoyed all the places we went to but... We loved Havana - it's a vibrant place with live music on every street corner and in every bar. Wandering around the streets in old Havana both during the day and in the evening was great and there is lots to see -lovely squares, colonial buildings, palaces, museums, cathedral, harbour plenty of old American cars........ It was good just to find a cafe or bar and watch the world go by. We enjoyed staying with Basita in Vinales... (more)Sue Rice
