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!
Excellent trip cycling around the Caribbean island of Cuba. It was like going back in time to the 50s with the old American cars and basic lifestyle. Free from phone and Wi-Fi for 2 weeks was a bonus for me!
the overall trip was well planned and easy. you will need a little fitness to stay with the group who cycle possibly once a week.. or head to the gym for this.. the food was fine, the scenery was interesting but at this stage Cuba is what it is, years of neglect in all areas, however its safe and adequate. dont go looking for a 5 star experience when the money is not in the country if it was - you would be paying 5 times more.. cuba is to be enjoyed from yesteryear and if you are old enough to remember what i am saying you will understand what i am saying. No countries were wealthy years ago and did not have technology like we do today...There is adequate amount of Wifi its not brilliant as you would find in other countries but again that is not what Cuba is about certainly not in the areas that we experienced.. How many countries today can you say there are more horse and carts then old cars..... Highly recommend taking a gel seat for your bike , wear bike gloves, take a face mask to protect your lungs from dust when riding on dirt roads , slap on lots of sunscreen cream and just relax
