Incredible 8 Day Tour of Cuba
My brother and I joined a group of 12 travelers mostly Americans for the 8 day original tour We had a fantastic trip with our guide Estefan We arrived in Havana early the first day and did two other Cuban Adventure day tours Murals and Mosaics and then the Classic Car Ride both of which we would recommend Lazaro was a great guide for both of the day trips My favorite part of the trip was visiting the small tobacco farming town of Vi ales I thought I wouldn t be that interested in it because I don t like tobacco products but I had an amazing time anyway Although it s a tourist town it s also got a nice homey feel and the locals were incredibly nice We happened to be there the night of a block party where they shut down the main street and danced all night We also explored an old cave just a short drive outside the town Also we went on a walking tour of a local coffee mill and tobacco farm with an incredible guide Floyd where they let you try a pure hand-rolled Cuban cigar We brought work gloves to donate the farmers and they were very appreciative of the gift The casas that we stayed in in Cienfuegos and Trinidad were gorgeous and nothing like I was expecting from a trip to Cuba My host in Trinidad recommended that we check out the nightclub called La Cueva which is located inside of a cave Despite the sketchy dark 10-minute trek from Casa de la M sica the club was honestly a one-of-a-kind experience that I would highly recommend Our guide for the trip Estefan was fantastic and tailored the trip to the needs of a diverse group of 12 travelers He always had great recommendations on places to eat and organized several dinners for the group that would have been hard to know about without his guidance He also shared so much knowledge about the history and culture of his country I would recommend knowing a little bit of Spanish to enhance your experience since many of the owners of the casas don t speak much English However it is not necessary as the guides speak English very well and the casa owners are very friendly regardless of language barriers The drink prices were super affordable so you can drink mojitos to your heart s content

Cuban Adventures was great
We are not really tour persons but since it can be difficult for Americans to travel independently and be legal in Cuba we did tours with Cuban Adventures and were extremely satisfied with our trips and experiences Their website clearly explains how to legally travel to Cuba what documents and procedures are needed and the reservation process was clear and easy We did a Vinales 4 day Short Stay followed by the 15 Day Original Tour All the tour guides were experienced fun and knowable the transportation was comfortable and professional the guest houses were clean and comfortable and run by local families located in the central and interesting parts of towns and cities the restaurants and food was good activities we did were interesting and fun and we got experience and intermix with local Cubans and their lives Cuba is a fantastic country to visit and if you re thinking of traveling to Cuba we both would highly recommend Cuban Adventures What a great trip and great experiences and Cuban Adventures did a great job from the reservation process to the end of the trip Pam and Allan Las Vegas NV USA

Cuban Adventures handled everything so
Cuban Adventures handled everything so well I never felt unsafe or worried I can t stress enough how incredible the trip was Our guide Yu Yu and driver Yoelle were delightful the locations and restaurants were so amazing and the owners of the guest houses were lovely I adored Cuba even with the challenges it was incredible I am going to go back in a couple of years with my daughter so she can experience it I have some recommendations if you are interested Bring a water bottle with a filter The water is ok for brushing your teeth and showering etc We also drank the ice and did not have an issue Bring a flashlight Even with the grid repaired there are rolling blackouts It is what it is Bring a flashlight or a headlamp Bring a lightweight rain jacket I live in Portland and never use an umbrella They re annoying to hold and in places like Havana where it is crowded they get in the way I can send some recommendations if you like If you check a bag it will take about 30 min for you to get it when you land Everything is on Cuba time so if you re an uptight former NYC er like me you have to take a deep breath and get comfortable with waiting Bring hot sauce Bring gifts Of course it isn t mandatory but if you have an ounce of empathy you will want to bring supplies to the Cuban people My friend and I travel light we had a backpack and a duffle bag Even so you can bring so many things that are needed Toothbrushes tooth paste packages of tissues OTC medication really anything that you take for granted is something they need I also left things behind that I wasn t going to use again like a pair of sandals and a shirt I had bought just for the trip You will be surprised by how little people have especially when you are out of the cities Anything you can think of they can use Lastly being a good attitude For any issue that annoys you the Cuban citizens have to deal with every single day Lack of fuel rolling black outs trash collection amenities that we are used to in the US and other countries Whatever annoyance you encounter most likely can t be solved by your guide so it isn t worth complaining Accept it and work around it The people make the country and the locations the vibe the food all of it is worth any aggravation you may have Have an awesome time It will be a trip you remember for the rest of your life

The trip was perfect from beginning to
The trip was perfect from beginning to end starting with our guide Estefan who was so eager to make our trip memorable which is certainly did I took the 15 day tour and wish I would ve taken the 20 day That s how much I enjoyed every minute We had a mini bus and a wonderful driver and I guide explained everything along the way but also let us have time to just enjoy the spectacular views that are all over the country Our accommodations were great and the hosts were so happy to have us The food was great and we took a few optional tours which were wonderful one was the boat down the river and lunch at the beach and the other one was the catamaran trip in Trinidad Both were well worth the money I cannot wait to come back and am planning on February or March for an eight day trip Great company and wonderful people and the safest and cleanest country I have ever been in
