  I love me the way our tour guide was in tune to the guests on the tour as well as with the Local Cuban people and local sites.

  Cuba is an interesting place and we enjoyed being there, however I think there is a room for improvement. Emilio, the guide, was assigned at the last moment, perhaps he wasn't ready yet; his English, knowledge and organizational skills were below our expectations. At times he frustrated many of us and effected the general mood of the group. He would explain things to some people while others are busy doing something else: for example, he arranged salsa lessons while we weren't aware of that and we missed. Another incident is that I wanted to learn more about Che and why he was important to Cuban people. He kept on saying he was going to talk about him number of times but at the end when he talked about him, it really didn't make much sense. Itinerary was good it covered different parts of Cuba but at times bus travel for 6 or more hours seemed a little too much. I must add the driver was excellent and he really did a great job. Accommodations seemed ok, mostly cleaned but I did get numerous bug bites. At times we couldn't figure out what was going on. In Trinidad, rather than the assigned 'casa' we were sent to some other place without much explanation and we were a bit isolated. Nobody explained to us where we were meeting for dinner that night. If my son hadn't bumped into someone else from the group, we wouldn't have known what was going on. Overall it was an interesting experience and thank you for putting this trip together.

  This was a great tour! Our guide was great! So smart and knowledgeable of all history, not just Cuba, and current events. He gave lots of information and tips on Cuba during the long drives. He played documentaries, which would've been nice, but most had subtitles that were very small and hard to read, and I couldn't read on a moving bus without getting nauseous. We had some good stops and he and the driver were flexible depending on what the group wanted. He was also really patient with a lot of tourists that were probably hard to deal with. I really enjoyed the tour, one of my favorite trips!

  The tour was overall great. The rooms are very comfortable, however they lack windows and day light. Breakfast was very healthy with all the tasty fruits. The local guide David is very enthusiast and have excellent knowledge about Cuba. The bus is very comfy and the driver Leo was the best. The proposed activities in each city that we visited were very nice. I would definitely recommend this tour.

  The tour was fab and Omar a very good guide. Being elderly he took great care of me. I was only upset about 2 problems which has nothing to do with Omar. Getting the luggage back was frustrating. It took over 1 hour because the conveyer belt broke down twice and I still did not have my luggage. I got concerned as we had to meet up with Omar somewhere at a certain time, did not know where nor do I not speak the language and whether the luggage is handed back at all that evening. I would also have been advantageous to have the flight included in the price as travel agencies receive good discounts rather than paying the full price as an individual. 2 out of the 4 cases were very good standard (3* hotel), the one in Trinidad was sub-standard by any means. Cistern did not work and I and my daughter who was with me, had to take turns to 'wash down' our excrements with a bucket on both days. However, this case was the only that had a double socket (American) where I could charge my phone. Is it practice in Cuba that beds are not made if one stays longer than a night? It happened in two places - Vinales and Trinidad. However, overall I enjoyed the trip tremendously and it was a lovely, caring group I was with.

  It's a tour that does what it promises. A good taste of the country (or part of it) in a short time. Travelling from one place to the next was a bit tiring, although necessary, but that was the only drawback we could find. Everything else lived up to our expectations and more. The driver was very careful and he drove safely the bus, which was fully airconditioned and comfortable. The host families were very accommodating and all the casas chosen were very clean with all the basic amenities in place. As for our tour guide, Rayner, there was nothing we would ask that he didn't try to help us with. All in all it's a highly recommendable trip.
