This tour was one of the best experiences of my life. The Cuban people were all so welcoming. I enjoyed getting to know more about Cuban culture, music, food, religion and just everyday life in Cuba. Our guide, Camilo, was phenomenal!
A wonderful trip to Cuba! Bookmundi created a wonderful trip to Cuba for us. They suggested two wonderful casa particulares, one in old Havana, and one in the Vedado area, which were both very nice in their very different ways. It was great being an old Havana, where we could walk out the door and directly into the city with all of its many activities. And the Casa particulares in Vedado was very relaxing with its small pool where we could sit out during a hot afternoon, but it did require a taxi to get anywhere. The tour guide for the meet and greet and the oldtimer tour was so knowledgeable about Cuba. And the Tropicana show was fabulous.
Fantastic holiday, well organised trip around fascinating and beautiful country. Hotter and more humid than expected. Cycling also harder than expected only because of heat, humidity and head winds. Stops came every 10 to 15km and were much appreciated. Plentiful water was provided but note you do need to take your own snacks, fruit or energy bars/drinks. We were bitten more than we expected so do take repellant with you and possibly some antihistamines. Casa stay in Trinidad was very interesting and despite appearances was very comfortable with full facilities. All the Cubans were very friendly. Day trip on catamaran to beautiful deserted tropical island was outstanding but was a long motor out (2hrs). Boat trip around lake and dam was quite different though! - rather worryingly unstable, noisy and full of exhaust (and driver's cigarette) fumes! Somewhat spoilt the beauty of the lake and surrounds.
