Having wanted to visit Cuba for many years I'm convinced this was a great way to do it. It is a fascinating country with a turbulent history. The people and their ability to 'make do' when they have so little is inspirational.
Never having been on a guided, group cycling tour before I was unsure what to expect and it took a few days to settle into the format. Apart from the opportunity to see and learn about the country the other great aspect of the trip was the other people on it. They were a lovely group of people each with an interesting life story to tell and cycling presents a great way to chat to people during those hours in the saddle.
Got the perfect tour guide! He was incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable, and kind throughout the entire trip. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the trip and I had an amazing time. Cuba is a beautiful country with so much to explore. I can’t wait to come back.
You exceeded my expectations for this trip. Everything was handled smoothly and well. We had a variety of accommodations, some Obviously better than others, the the owners of the casas we stayed in were very accommodating and made up for in kindness what they may have lacked in amenities. We had a variety of tours and th MOST DELIGHTFUL tour leader whose memory for dates and details was beyond compare. He was also encouraging and supportive for those including myself who struggled on a couple of rides. (Due to my lack of cycling ability). I believe the rides were exactly what I expected...challenging for me but not beyond my capabilities.....although there were a few times I questioned that!!!! The drivers were kind and funny. When I mentioned we really liked pineapple...Alexis went and got more! The rooms varied a lot in each hotel and I noted that everyone had "the best room" at least once....I have to think that was intentional....it was the extra little touch that made this trip so truly memorable and special. I am already looking at my next cycling trip of yours! I would highly recommend it!
