The Discover Cuba TourThis Cuba tour includes VIP door to door transfers from your home to the airport, and back again. There are also a couple of days on the beach at the end. 10 nights from £1995 per person.
Welcome to Cuba, a Caribbean island lost in time. Follow in the footsteps of Ernest Hemingway in his beloved Havana, a city of romantically faded grandeur where iconic 1950s automobiles parade seafront streets, and rumba bars rub shoulders with centuries old churches. Head into the island’s verdant interior to experience incomparable scenic beauty. Discover further Spanish Colonial heritage in the elegant city of Trinidad and more recent Cuban history at Santa Clara, where iconic revolutionary Che Guevara is laid to rest. And no holiday to Cuba would be complete without some time to unwind on one of its idyllic soft white sand beaches. Cuba Tours : Key features
