Cuba is one of the undiscovered travel destinations for many American tourists. For years there have been tight restrictions on travel to Cuba. These restrictions were just recently lifted, making it possible for tourists from the United States to take small group Cuba holidays.
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.
There is nothing luxurious about these tours, but everything is clean and comfortable. You will get to know each person in your tour group because the groups are small. The entire tour will be led by your local tour guide.
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.
The other days will be spent hiking, riding horseback, exploring caves, bicycling, snorkeling and seeing wildlife. Except for the first and last nights, you will be staying in the home of a Cuban family. On day eight, you can use the time as you wish and depart from the city at the time you choose.
Small group Cuba tours are relaxing and informal. Be ready to make some lifelong friends during the eight days you spend together. These tours are a unique way to see life in Cuba as it really is.
