Fantastic Cuban Adventure We have just returned from Cuba having done the Cuban highlights cycle & a beach extension in Cayo Levisa. This is a fantastic trip with very pleasant cycling, trips to places of cultural & historical importance & some down time. The bikes were much better than we expected, the cycling was relaxed & not too demanding & the motorists very mannerly. The roads were quiet. Full backup with the bus is there at all times which is great. It was nice to be able to leave all our things on the bus while cycling.
This is the first time I've ever written a review online but I feel that it's absolutely worth it. I've just returned from the Cycling Cuba trip with a group of 17 others (from late teens to mid-sixties) plus our excellent guide Laz and drivers Tuna and Alberto.
The trip surpassed all expectations - I loved it and really feel that I saw and experienced a lot of Cuba; from bustling Havana to the Caribbean beaches, old town Trinidad, 5* hotel in Santiago, fishing village of Gibara and much, much more. It was all excellently organised and Laz made the organisation look so easy, which no doubt it wasn't. The drivers were so helpful and everybody always had a smile on their faces. There was a variety of food and accommodation - some not great, some excellent but that reflects what's on offer.
I'd recommend this trip to anybody. Do it, do it soon before the American brands move in and it's awash with Starbucks and McDonalds!
An excellent cycling trip with plenty to challenge the keen cyclist. We saw hugely varied aspects of Cuban life, from farming to city and town life. The group were great fun and we all got on very well. The tour guide was excellent and looked after us from start to finish.
