This was my first trip with this travel specialist and my first time in Cuba and I had an awesome time that I would not mind doing a tour with them again. Normally, I would explore countries on my own and would only do a day tour if I feel like it. With the way the agency designed Beautiful Cuba, you have the best both worlds. You have guides to take you around and discuss history, culture, etc. but you are given sufficient time to go around the town on your own and explore the area. The guides were very informative and accommodating (showed us the night life) and our driver was very careful on the road. I would suggest though for the casa particulares to have internet because some of my tour mates failed to get Cubacel SIM card but needed to get in touch with their families and friends. A car who was supposed to pick me up in the airport failed to put my name on the placard which is very important so I hired a cab on my way to the casa particulares. However, after the initial stress, everything else went smoothly.
Fantastic trip with great cycling, cultural and historical aspects. The entire trip exceeded my expectations for the quality of bikes to accommodation and food. The cycling was relaxed and, although mostly on main roads, traffic was not heavy (unlike the headwinds!) and there was always full back up with the support bus. The food was simple but tasty and the casa's were comfortable and far more interesting than staying in a hotel. Cuba was fantastic and everything we needed was available, just be prepared for some unreliability such as lack of hot water, toilet paper etc
A 'taste' of what Cuba has to offer A busy itinerary which visits all the key places. I enjoyed the variety of the trip from the countryside to busy cities and felt I learnt a lot about Cuba along the way.
