Very Interesting and Informative Great tour with a great guide. Very informative, but almost too much info. A postcard or bookmark with the orishas and their names would be very helpful. This tour isn't for everyone, but definitely anyone who'd like a quick tour of Afro Cuban religions and is ready to soak up all the details. Interactive dance was also a great highlight.
Can't Imagine A Better Tour As an American citizen wanting to travel to Cuba, I can't imagine a better tour to take. The guide provided us with so much information and the tour included so many experiences that I now have a whole new perspective on the political, social and environmental condition of the country. Read and follow the pre-departure recommendations and you will have no trouble travelling to and from the states.
There can be no better way of seeing and getting under the skin of Cuba today than mounting an almost new hybrid bike, led by a knowledgeable local, supported by a comfortable coach (in case of a rest). The trip covers most of Cuba to the east of Havana. Check the trip notes and make sure you understand there are a lot of transfers at times to enable you to get from A to B. Given that in some ways Cuba is a 3rd world country (ie not as developed or comfortable as the West) the quality of the hotels generally exceeded my expectations - as long as you like quirky! You won't go hungry, buffets are the norm, but I longed for meusli for breakfast and something other than rice , black beans and meat for supper.
