The title of this tour describes the itinerary. We explored archaeological sites galore, toured historical city centers, visited local artisans, and ate lots of Mexican (and some Mayan) food. The hotels were all comfortable, and the baos mostly had toilet paper and soap. We had opportunities to swim and to visit a cenote.
We were part of a group of 18 aged 16-64 that got on very well and made for a fun time. The most challenging aspect was the extreme heat and humidity on afternoon sections. We were grateful that our guide and drivers provided us with shower stops improvised from water bottles at the worst times and the bus was always available for a rest from the heat if necessary. The accommodation was good to excellent (with the exception of one) and although we were told not to expect much from the food it was mostly good too.
Fantastic Trip - Well Organised Great itinerary; giving you a a great insight to Cuba and its local culture: from music and food to beautiful sceneries. The trip is well organised but also giving you some flexibility. Accomodation was good; though the "casas" were much more comfortable than the hotels. Restaurants the guide has taken us too were very nice, different each time, local and affordable.
