Our first trip to Cuba, and definitely not our last!

A 12-day group tour of the Western end of Cuba, followed by a 3-night extension on a beautiful coral reef island

This was our second trip with Journey Latin America, and again we were very pleased with everything: they are experts in this part of the world, everything was handled efficiently and professionally, the tour was well-planned and our tour guide could not have been better. We will definitely travel with them again.

Havana, and South/West Cuba, with group of 11 people and excellent tour guide

We toured the places of interest, particularly those commemorating the revolution and Bay of Pigs, and the heroes of the land. We also visited places of natural beauty, including the caves near Vinales, and sugar, coffee and tobacco fields and factories. On our last day our excellent tour guide managed to obtain theatre tickets for us to see the Cuban National Ballet's Swan Lake. This was the icing on the cake. Marvellous holiday!

Superb insight into a very different culture.

Wonderful tour. Very well organised. Fantastic guide. Loved the variety of what we saw. Also, staying in two casas particulares we had chance to really meet local people. Enjoyed the vibrancy and colour of Cuba. We toured the western half of Cuba staying in Habana, Trinidad, Cienfuegos,Las Terrazas and Vinales. We also took a few days extension to Cayo Levisa.

Wonderful tour. Very well organised. Fantastic guide. Loved the variety of what we saw. Also, staying in two casas particulares we had chance to really meet local people. Enjoyed the vibrancy and colour of Cuba. We toured the western half of Cuba staying in Habana, Trinidad, Cienfuegos,Las Terrazas and Vinales. We also took a few days extension to Cayo Levisa. We finished with another night and some sightseeing time back in Habana. All the excursions were really good. We had a wonderful walk in the Escambray mountains with a local National Park guide leading. He was so knowledgeable. Similarly the guide who took us on a birdwatching walk at Las Terrazas. A really superb two weeks.

Journey Latin America are a brilliant company. Their staff are so helpful and friendly whenever you ring up with queries etc. In Cuba the guide (local) was excellent. She knew so much, had so many contacts and took us to so many places which added greatly to the overall experience. She knew wonderful places to eat as well as having contacts such as a tobacco farmer who let us see the drying sheds on his farm.The value added was fantastic and gave us a really good insight into the country.Everything was very well organised. For example: when we had a few days independently at the end the taxis met us at the right time etc. Our tour consisted of ten travellers plus the guide. This was a lovely number. Not too big a group, but big enough. This company not only met our expectations, but exceeded them.
