Captivating Cuba tours
Renowned for its vibrant Latin culture, soulful music, fine rums and cigars and its dramatic revolutionary history, Cuba is a remarkable country. An island lost in time, it's a decadent blend of romantic grandeur and off-beat Caribbean charm. Our holidays in Cuba will take you on a colourful journey that combines colonial cities, dramatic landscapers and glittering Caribbean coastlines.
There is so much more to explore beyond the powdery beaches on our Cuba holidays. We’ll follow in the footsteps of Ernest Hemingway and Che Guevara and explore the enchanting capital, Havana, taking in landmarks such as the Capitolio – the seat of the government before the Cuban Revolution – the main square, Plaza de Armas and the 18th century Cathedral, or simply enjoy a relaxing stroll along the Malecon, the famous seafront promenade and watch the vintage cars roar past.
Further afield, we’ll also be spellbound by the incredible Viñales Valley, the ‘Pearl of the South,’ Cienfuegos, and the colonial cities of Trinidad and Sancti Spiritus. Our Cuba tours give you a real flavour of this enchanting destination that is still finding its feet after more than half a century of economic embargo. And now, more than ever, is a great time to visit Cuba.

What our experts love about Cuba
Cuban culture is deeply rooted in music and the arts and you'll see this everywhere you visit on our tours. I especially love to wander the streets of Havana, admiring the dilapidated yet beautiful buildings and finding live music and locals dancing on what seems like every street corner.
Where are the best places to visit in Cuba?
Wherever you travel in Cuba you’ll find yourself fascinated by the history, charmed by the beauty and uplifted by the energy, colour and spirit of the place. And while our escorted tours highlight all the main sights, taking you from the big cars and colonial splendour of Havana to the green hills and valleys of the hinterland, we’ll also lift the lid on some local character, like learning to mix real Cuban cocktails or visiting a tobacco plantation. Here are a couple of our own Cuba highlights.
Havana
Culture lovers will be charmed by Havana, Cuba’s bustling, atmospheric captial with the ambience of a bygone era. On our Havana tours, we’ll head to the historic Partages Cigar Factory to watch skilled workers drying, rolling and boxing the island’s most famous export. We’ll wander the colourful colonial streets and discover elegant plazas. And of course, visit the infamous Floridita Bar, where author Ernest Hemingway loved drinking cooling daiquiris.

We do not recommend you drink tap water in Cuba, unless you know the water has been treated. Tap water in large, international hotels is generally safe to drink but outside of these we recommend you drink bottled water and are cautious of ice in soft drinks and alcoholic beverages. Bottled water is available throughout Cuba.

Porterage at hotels is included in the cost of your Cuba touring holiday. However, it is customary to tip 10% in restaurants, and we also suggest tipping a nominal amount to any expert local guides along the way. Your tour manager will be happy to help if you need any further guidance.
