We’re Going to Cuba!
Havana Tour
November 8 — 15, 2023
Hassle free tours to Cuba with a difference.
Let's face it. Cuba can be a complicated place for any foreigner, but especially Americans because of all of the rules and regulations. We take all of the guess work out of the equation and offer you a trip that is not only educational, but also is fully legal.
How are our tours different? We want you to experience Cuba as more than just an island tourist destination. We specialize in historical and cultural tours that not only expose you to the rich history and arts of Cuba, but also to the everyday lives of Cubans. We work with locals—artists, academics, and Cubans from all walks of life—to offer you a wide variety of activities that include tours to historic sites, day excursions, music + dance classes, cultural exchanges, and more. And we work with individuals and organizations to provide humanitarian relief. Next stop? Havana, Cuba, November 8-15, 2023. See below for details. We also offer guided tours for groups or organizations.
Trip Overview
We will be offering a general tour of Havana, the capital city, from November 8—15, 2023. You will have an opportunity to visit some of the city's most historic and popular sites, but most importantly, you will have an opportunity to learn about Cuba from those who know it best—the Cuban people. The price of $1975—$2250 includes accommodations, daily breakfast, 3 lunches and 3 dinners, entrance fees to sites and events, transportation to tour activities, airport transfers, and tips for select tour activities. Airfare and tourist card are not included. This trip adheres to regulations imposed by the U.S. government for travel to Cuba under the "Support for the Cuban People" general license.
