Thanks Global Journeys for indulging my last minute call for assistance in being put on stand by for this trip. It was so great to secure a spot and be able to join the tour to Cuba. Thanks to a great tour guide Carlos and our driver I had a wonderful experience.
The group I was travelling with, including an old friend, were great company. The
...read more core activities and optional extras were all well explained, accessible and realised my expectations of the Cuban experience. My favorite experience was an optional walk to the limestone caves. It was $20 for four hours with a wonderful guide and a chance to meet local farmers, hang out with climbers scaling limestone ridges and chill out in a field drinking an amazing grapefruit, honey, pineapple and rum drink served in the grapefruit with a straw.
A few people on the tour had tummy troubles and our hotel in Cuba did not have a great street presence. Clearly all part of the Cuba experience. It was so good not to see the chain stores or hotels and to discover the Cuban lifestyle through our home stays and tours. A really unique and thrilling experience.
