Getting to know the Cuban people and staying in their homes was an invaluable experience. By far my favourite moment was the tobacco wanting tour! We enjoyed it so much we returned 2 days later and had a great time visiting the owners of the different farms. (more)Chantal Moore

The nature in Topes de Collantes National Park and Turquino National Park was the most memorable. Overall we've had a great vacation and enjoying a short period of time in the great (current) environment of Cuba is leaving us a beautifull memory for life. (more)Annemarie Van Vliet

Being in the beautiful nature of Cuba and being with local guides was the most memorable. (more)Valerie Mamara

For me the most memorable parts are the people-to-people things, and bits of culture ... live music in a restaurant that inspires a couple to break out into some fabulous salsa dancing; and the nice connection made with our homestay family in Havana... (more)Rebecca Pollens

The most memorable moment was spontaneously being invited into a home to listen in on a jam session with the resident and their guests. We were walking around the streets of Havana taking in the street scene and heard music coming out of a home. We peeked inside the house and were extended a warm invitation to come in and enjoy the music, rum and the fried plantains all without any expectation of any kind from our hosts. (more)Gautam Biswas

The best part was Havana. Everything about Havana, the tour in the old American car was great but we loved just wondering around. (more)Jo McKeown

Memorable parts? Meeting the warm, friendly people in cuba, our hosts at home stays and our wonderful guides. The hiking was great too. Tips? The exchange rate in cuba is not good for Americans so bring extra money as you can't use cards. Local benefits? I hope it benefited them. I know they appreciated the tips. The single use water bottle issue will be a problem quickly as the infrastructure probably can't handle the amount of tourists. Overall rating? It was... (more)Leslie Repp

The most memorable was 50 miles offshore Scuba Diving in the Garden of the Queens...this is a healthy reef with sharks to nudibranchs. The soft corals where beautiful waving in the current with the reef fish. We had a wonderful trip and will be returning to Cuba and diving the Gardens. (more)Wilson Wing

The most memorable part was the few days spent in Trinidad. Truly beautiful city, lots of restaurants, good nightlife, and great location for day trips to beaches or mountains. (more)Kelvin Eaton

The Cuban people were very welcoming, helpful, and friendly, taking in all the beautiful scenery, whether it be the Vinales valley, the beautiful beaches or the historic streets of Trinidad and Havana (more)Gary Lum

The highlight was the walk up El Yunke in Baracoa. In fact everything about Baracoa was lovely. The guide Norge was simply the best... A very enjoyable and educational tour. It was very good to experience the friendliness and enterprise of the people in Cuba. (more)Melsa Houston

We really enjoyed the Badada Codina hike - in Sierra Escambray. The hike was 3-4 hours... Our guide was great - telling us stories about the nature we were seeing, but also about herself and the people living in the mountains... She took us to the caves, and then to the state-run restaurant where we (surprisingly) had an amazing lunch with roasted pig, rice, Cristal and coffee & fruits at the end. (more)Beatrice Mosello

Memorable parts? Havana - wandering the streets of the old town. Tips? I would advise booking directly with a local Cuban tour operator, rather than using an international travel company who uses their own local representatives. The local owner operator that we went with for the first week of our trip was excellent, highly professional and provided an outstanding level of service and fantastic local knowledge. It made our vacation. The second week that we booked through an international... (more)Rachel Bastin

Memorable parts? We enjoyed all the places we went to but... We loved Havana - it's a vibrant place with live music on every street corner and in every bar. Wandering around the streets in old Havana both during the day and in the evening was great and there is lots to see -lovely squares, colonial buildings, palaces, museums, cathedral, harbour plenty of old American cars........ It was good just to find a cafe or bar and watch the world go by. We enjoyed staying with Basita in Vinales... (more)Sue Rice
