Cuba advice from our travellers


"As our guide said 'be horizontal', enjoy Cuba for what it is and expect changes to any plans." - Brian Willis
"It was our home whilst we were there - in each casa - we were made to feel we were really at home whilst still being free to come and go as we wanted." - Charles Butler
"Good maps would be helpful for drivers. Or an off-line GPS program - otherwise, when you needed it most, it completely was lost." - Jason Falk
"Be prepared to have your ideals about socialism challenged! Learn Spanish - it's Cuba not England." - George Turnbull


"Set your mind to a different scale. Things not always go smoothly - and if you expect it to be like Europe you might get upset easily." - Anna Vissens
"Don't expect great vegetarian food if... there's plenty of rice, beans, salad etc. but not the variety of foods we're perhaps used to. However, what you do get is fresh, plentiful and in large quantities." - Kiona Simpson
"It wasn't really a holiday more an experience! The way Cubans live their lives with such fortitude and good humour under such trying circumstances is humbling." - Gillian Rowe
"Cubans have to hitchhike to get to work. We gave quite a few lifts which was a good way to meet people." - Philippa Widman
"What I know is I don't know Cuba. I had an opinion on Cuba before I left, however this is a very complex society and as our tour guide said, unless you live here it is difficult to understand." - Lois Brassart
