Classic Cuba 15 day trip gave my husband and I an INCREDIBLE overview of several of the cities, culture and people of Cuba. A beautiful, challenging, humbling and hopeful combination as we explored the streets, passed the countryside, met the people and marveled at the architecture, past and present (re-habed and not). Often we felt like we were on a movie set, stuck in time. Each city had it's own vibe, with Baracoa, Santiago, Trinadad, Cienfuegos and of course, Havana, an important place to see. The blackouts, outside of Havana, added to our understanding of a few of the challenges of life of the Cuban people. But, we were prepared! Cuban Adventures website, communications and FB page helped us overcome questions and smoothed the way for a great trip. As the only 2 on our trip (low season?), we had 100% of the attention and enthusiasm of our guide, Benny and capable driver, Emilio. Knowing some Spanish, bringing items to donate, light clothes, chargable fans and a flexible, open mind made all the difference. We can highly recommend this organization and our experience with Cuban Adventures on the Classic Cuba trip.

I give Cuban Adventure a 5 star rating. If you are American, and choose supporting the Cuban people as your reason for travel, you will have an exceptional experience. We learned so much and now we are intrigued to learn even more.

Best Part? The awesome tour guide. Friendly, knowledgeable, good speaker. Interacted well with everyone. Would recommend him to anyone. Ten stars out of ten stars. Worst Part? The heat. All was good. Would definitely recommend the same tour to friends.
