All the trip coordination was right on. We enjoy La Habana but were mostly grateful to our contacts there (Jose, Edi) who made sure to provide vouchers, information, recommendations on where to eat, The Factory of Art, etc. Our tour guide Brice was also wonderful, explaining to us all the historic points of the city while driving around in a classic car. Our trip to Trinidad was a long bus ride but well worth it. Ruben our host at the casa were we stayed made us feel right at home. He had a beautiful house and paid great attention to detail. Beautiful family! Luis our morning tour guide gave us a beautiful and true Cuban tour of Trinidad. The salsa class with Colorado and all the other young men and women was a lot of fun. Trinidad is a beautiful colonial city with a lot of charm. Took the bus to our next destination right around the corner from our casa. Arrived in Varadero with our host Nancy, a very nice lady with a lovely house. Her assistant, Odalisa, prepared wonderful breakfasts with sandwiches, eggs, fruit, juices, coffee. We went to enjoy the beautiful pristine, blue aqua beach five minutes from Nancy's house. I strongly recommend this Cuban experience to anyone.
This trip was one of the top ones we have ever done: we interreacted with everyday Cubans, saw the "real" side of the country, and had multiple opportunities to explore fascinating cultural sights. The biking was a splendid way to get us into the heartbeat of sights, sounds, and smells of it all!
I have just come back from a 2 week trip to Cuba arranged by the local travel specialist It is the first time I have used the company but have been so pleased with the seamless organisation and the quality of recommendations on accommodation and tours J will definitely be using this agency again I have already recommended them to a couple of friends/family Every part of the trip went to plan- the taxi pickups and a special mention to the casa owners who are happy to book restaurants confirm tours- nothing is too much trouble
