Really enjoyed the trip with only one or two gripes as follows. I don't understand why you booked a trip to be in Cuba over May Day. This meant we didn't get to see any of the parade because we were in Vinales, couldn't see Che Guevara's mausoleum and, although I don't smoke cigars, some people might have liked to see the inside of a cigar factory and there were some very long days on buses although, in fairness, we had been warned.
A fantastic trip - does exactly what it promises...gives you all the best Cuban highlights and the best way to see them is by bike! The cycling was harder work than I was expecting, but that suited me (and most of the group I think) just fine, so was a mixture of sight seeing, mojitos and exercise - so a great balance overall. Cuba is a wonderful country and I'm so pleased to have been and seen it this way. We stayed in some nice hotels and the guest house (Casa) experience in Trinidad added a bit of extra variety. The food is nothing special, but the rum and coctails more than make up for that!
I loved this trip although I was absolutley shattered at the end of it. Havana was amazing and lived up to my expectations but my favourite place was Guajimico. This was a basic hotel where each guest has a 'chalet' set in the forest, the best (or worst) depending on your view was that it was surrounded by massive land crabs. We danced until the early hours making the most of our Salsa class. Wildlife figured greatly on this trip including spiders and scorpions but what do you expect in a tropical destination!
