A fantastic way to see Cuba. Beautiful scenery with the chance to see Cuban life as you pass it. A really good mix of the History, Cuban culture and everyday practicalities endured by all Cubans. Lovely cycling on well maintained bikes. There was always a person at hand to fix or adjust any problems. The group were great fun and we spent a lot of time laughing and trying to stay cool in the baking heat. Various tactics of wet clothing and the use of cooling buffs under our head gear. I found the cycling to be perfect for a moderately fit person with a slight disability. I hoped on the bus if I was struggling and was made to feel comfortable doing this. A really well organised trip. It met my expectations, of course there are always a few problems but that's enviable when you're travelling in a different hotel/Casa every night. I enjoyed the Casa's the best as it felt like we were away from the hotel cliche. Some of the hotels were outside the hustle and bustle of town life. It would have been nice to have been able to swim in the sea a little more than we did but it was a cycling trip. The food was as I expected. Some of the ingredients were there but their style of cooking Lobster was a shame, they boil it grill it to death. Beef was delicious and the goat ( they label it lamb) was always moist and tasty. Thanks to the tour operator
Cuban Highlights late April 2016 What it says on the tin, and much more! A well chosen itinerary, allowing us to see a good mix of coast, countryside and beautifully preserved towns. There were well timed stops along the way, especially the refreshment stops, sweet coffee and chocolate on day 1, fruit tasting on another and the heavenly peanut butter fudge stall to fuel our final uphill stretch. In addition the hotels, casas and restaurants provided a good mix of local cuisine and accommodation, the hotels surpassing my expectations. Even the last day, a tour around Havana, was fun and interesting, avoiding the sad 'end of holiday' feeling.
An amazing country, full of interesting and extremely friendly people. A challenging and exhausting two weeks but all self-inflicted fun. You will not want the holiday to end and you will definately want to do it all again.
