Cuba was a beautiful country, and a great place to cycle - there is very little traffic, and the local drivers are very considerate to cyclists (the occasional tourist hire car was less thoughtful).
Absolutely fabulous way to visit Cuba The 15 day cycle trip through Cuba was simply wonderful! It was exhilarating to 1-cycle through small towns and villages and see things and people that other types of tours do not offer. Pressure about cycling was relaxed, so if you were having a bad day or were daunted by the hills, then you could take time off and ride in the bus. The team on our ride were spectacular! They were efficient, attentive, kind, cheerful and interesting. Our guide Alex, was funny, intelligent, on the ball, accomodating....and informative about many aspects of Cuba and with a good knowledge of Cuban history and society. He made our trip an absolute delight. On the whole hotels and Casas were good, food was way better than I was led to believe, and the cities and towns chosen for the itinerary were varied and interesting. Well worth the money!
This is my 4th trip with this tour operator and again it was superbly planned with plenty of cycling, culture, and fun. Its totally full on, and hotel rooms are only places to dump a bag and crash out at night. The Mojitas always beckon, and with a big group a party is always at hand. The cycling is fairly easy and well researched. The hotels are generally good, and all have A/C and bathroom en suite.
