The outings with the instructors not only made sure that we had fun, but were well protected every step of the way. The people made it happen for me.

The operator organised a fantastic tour from the amazing casas to incredible tours and activities. Our guide Carlito could not have done more for us, was genuinely engaging and a pleasure to share our time with. We'd do this tour again tomorrow. (more)Michael Kiernan

First and foremost would have to be our group of people that we were with to see this beautiful island. After being able to travel this beautiful planet over the years, Cuba is a beautiful, peaceful, wonderful place to see. Friends have asked if I would go back, YES in a heartbeat. (more)Erik Johnson

Overall, the trip was wonderful. We were impressed by the warmth, kindness and generosity of the Cuban people -- especially towards my 6yo granddaughter.
We especially enjoyed the cooking class at Casa Vitrales, learning to make authentic dishes on a beautiful rooftop terrace, then enjoying the fruits of our
labors. (more)Liz Willson
That holiday was amazing. We had incredible help from Marcel planning the holiday and the support and communication from our contact in Havana made sure everything went to plan. We were able to just relax and enjoy all of the amazing experiences. (more)Alex Hilliam

Memorable parts?
Participating in the Cuba Music Holiday through the tour operator we used was the trip of a lifetime! Learning from, working with, and performing public shows
with a top-rated band in a foreign country is a dream come true for us. We fell in love with Cuba, its people, and its music, and we look forward to returning
someday. We'd also like to do another music holiday with this same company.
Tips?
Study Spanish before leaving home. Practice the music the ... (more)Bob and Patty Tatum
Memorable parts?
The cycling with a great leader and group of people and feeling we saw some of the real Cuba, the people and their lives.
Tips?
Don’t expect high standards of accommodation, food, service etc - not realistic in Cuba. Ensure your fitness for the cycling distances and amount of climbing involved and you will enjoy the holiday even more.
Local benefits?
Yes. Staying in Casas not state run hotels meant families were benefiting and trying to use privately run ... (more)Gillian Bowden

Overall rating?
Excellent & will go back again! (more)Jenn Welsh
Holiday was a 10/10. The tours were very diverse, well organized, and individualized to our interests. We felt like we got to see the real Cuba rather than the typical crowded tourist spots. (more)Aviva Suero
It was a special experience that was unique and very far away from an ‘all inclusive’ experience: Take on the challenges and you will get rewarded with wonderful and multilayered experiences. (more)Ken Akers
We are really glad we got to experience a week of living in Cuba with the people in every day life. (more)Charlotte Perry
Most memorable was staying in Soroa surrounded by lush greenery, mountains and silence... Wonderful to get a glimpse of the "real" Cuba and its people. (more)Billie Mann
The most memorable part of the trip was...Mixing with local people and having a great local guide. (more)Regina Dunn
I enjoyed all of the 20 day trip, but Soroa and Baracoa stand out, largely because they were least touched by tourism, we had amazing casas, met wonderful people and enjoyed the lovely scenery in these areas. Snorkelling en route from Cienfuegos to Havana was also a treat. (more)Margaret Wanke
Loved my tour - would highly recommend to anyone considering travel to Cuba. It should be on everyone’s travel bucket list. (more)Steve Bagby
Excellent... the culture is fascinating and the people are as warm as could be. We felt safe everywhere, we enjoyed the never-ending cocktails, we loved seeing three (out of 600!) cultural projects, and it was a terrific experience. (more)Amy Bernhard
Most memorable was meeting Cubans at the casas and all the varied activities. My awesome tour guide Adrian, so nice to have a knowledgeable and upbeat leader. (more)Anne Waldron
It was a very well organised trip. We covered a lot of the country whilst having time to explore places in depth. (more)Maxine Segalov
It was all very memorable and a trip we will never forget. That is because we, I believe, were able to get an idea of what daily life is like for Cuban people, but
also because it was challenging at times and took us way out of our comfort zone.
The beaches at Cayo Jutias and Cayo Santa Maria were beautiful and we were able to relax at the latter at the end of our holiday. The sea was amazing.

Wonderful experience...We did a great day hiking through the Forrest near Trinidad and swimming in a natural pool (more)Lorraine Jarvie-Smith
It was fabulous! Our guide Ale, went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic visit, shared so much knowledge with us and we had a lot of fun along the way. (more)Anna heslop
It was a great trip. There are periods of a lot of bus travel - but make the most of those by chatting to the tour leader about what you’d like to know about the country. (more)Tejal Shah
The most memorable part of the holiday was visiting parts of Cuba that most Cuban tourists never experience. (more)Susan Parker
Definitely ten stars due in large part to the care and effort of our guide Ali. He was phenomenal and took very great care of each one of us in the group.
