Nancy Gray review 27 Feb 2024
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The diversity of places visited, experiences we had, with our excellent guide friendly and responsive to our wants and needs. I personally loved visiting cities like Trinidad, Cienfuegos, Camagüey.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Bring lots of cash. (US dollars). Bring gifts: Cuban people appreciate things on recommended list. As a woman, I suggest feminine hygiene products, very hard to get post-COVID. Be open minded, curious, observant. Be aware that Cuba is generally loud, noisy (street noise) all hours of day and night.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Absolutely. We had water on the bus and filled our bottles daily. We interacted with our taxi drivers, casa staff, bar and restaurant workers…and tipped generously!4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
This was a great trip: learned a lot and experienced many facets of Cuban culture. Also time to relax on several beach stops.Patricia Killam review 14 Nov 2023
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The Cuban people!2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
A full, varied and immersive experience3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes on benefitting local people, by where we stayed and ate and I was happy to spend most of my dollars on offers of gratitude. We were certainly made aware of ways to conserve energy but our trip did depend on a lot of gas use. And I personally could not have survived absence of fans and air conditioning, living as I do in the Pacific Northwest.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent and a wonderful guideRead the operator's response here:

You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
