Escorted Cuba Tours

Cuba is a country that very few people know anything about because of the travel restrictions that were in place for so many years. Now the United States has lifted those restrictions, and Americans have permission to travel there. As a result, there are some exciting, small group Cuba tours available for tourists.

These special tours are a great way to see Cuba as it really is. There is free time scheduled for the traveler to see things and go places that they are interested in. There are, also, optional activities at local prices that the tour guide can schedule for those who want to participate.

Many people return from tours disappointed because they didn’t have an opportunity to interact with the local people. They normally only see places that are set up for tourists, and return home knowing very little about the local customs. Small group tours in Cuba is not like that. The tour guides are local Cubans, and most nights will be spent in the home of a Cuban family.

These are not luxury tours, but the transport and accommodations are comfortable and clean. Since the groups are small, you will get to know the other travelers better. The tour guide will accompany you through the entire tour.

An example of a small group tour is the eight day Western Cuba Tour. The group size will be between two and twelve with the average size being seven. The arrival destination is the city of Havana. There are no activities planned for the first day so you can use the time to visit the city on your own.

Days two through six will be spent visiting two other special locations. During that time you can ride horseback, go snorkeling off of one of Cuba’s white sand beaches, look for wildlife, explore caves, hike or go bicycling. These nights will be spent in the home of a Cuban family. Day eight is the same as Day one. There are no planned activities, and you may do whatever you want. You are free to leave at the time you choose.

Small group Cuba tours are a great way to have an informal, relaxed vacation. You will make lifelong friends, and there will be an opportunity to interact with the Cuban people. This is the best way to see Cuba as it is.
