CUBA: This small group tour, in support of the Cuban people is scheduled for August 24 - 31 2024. That tour has two rooms left, couples or singles. Our Cuba tours almost always SELL OUT.
You can fly regular airlines into Cuba, American Airlines is the easiest but Delta, United and Copa all fly there too. We'll visit in full compliance with state department regulations, staying in Casa Particulars, taking private transportation and in support of and interacting with the people of Cuba. Our Cuba tours are super fun, educational and inspiring. You'll learn much about the history of Cuba, the Cuban Revolution, the US embargo and the current state of affairs in Cuba. Cuba was closed to Americans under the Trump administration so this may be one of the last times you can visit Cuba legally.
This all-inclusive tour visits many of the popular tourist areas. We stay in great classic private lodging and transport in comfortable vans. The charm, music, dancing and culture of Cuba will be inspiring and it provides a chance to see how communism works (or doesn't work).
The US has maintained a trade embargo with Cuba since the revolution in 1959. We have been restricted from visiting, with only two times that we have been able to visit in almost 70 years. We travel in full compliance to OFAC and the US State Department, in support of the Cuban people. This all-inclusive tour is a true experience of Cuban lifestyle. We know how to work around it; how to travel, enjoy, stay, eat, and interact with the Cuban people.
We'll get great photos and hear some great music. We also visit "the famous" Veradero beach, visit the Plaza of the Revolution, as well as the largest artesian market in Havana. We see the museum of the Cuban Revolution as well as the old Presidential Palace. Best of all, we'll come away with memories of a lifetime and even new Cuban friends.
The tour is $2,000 per person and includes all lodging, all meals, all in country transportation, and all activity and entrance fees. We stay in local Cuban homes with nice beds, AC, and private baths, like a VRBO. We do a city tour in classic American convertibles, touring through old Havana, Vedado and Miramar. The regulations say we can't support the Cuban government, so we work around that challenge and travel "in support of the Cuban people". This is not luxury travel, but it's pretty close, we eat great food, we stay in comfortable lodging and best of all, we'll see the real Cuba. We're visiting Havana, Old Havana, Vedado, Varadero Beach, Vinales and more. We tour a tobacco farm and see Cuban cigars being made. We'll see a Cuban coffee plantation and take a boat trip through a limestone cave in Vinales. We'll see the US embassy that was closed for "the Cuba Syndrome" and we'll enjoy what Cuba does best, music, dancing, culture and food. We also visit the famed Varadero beach, one of the top ten beaches in the world and visit a top Cabaret.
This tour takes advantage of the best Cuba has to offer. Sign up now for this great Cuba tour, August 24 - 31. Many American airline carriers have daily service to Havana, so getting there is easy. We provide transportation from the airport and back to the airport at the end of the tour. You will need a Cuba Visa but it's easy to get and we'll show you how.
President Biden reopened Cuba to Americans last year. We focus on Cuban culture; music, food, dance, photo opportunities and history. There's a small window open to visit Cuba so don't miss this chance, only $2,000 per person, all-inclusive.

Here's a Recent Review of this tour:
The Cuba Tour that I did with Steve in November 2023 was incredible.
From the very beginning when I became interested in the trip, Steve was able to guide me and provide the answers and comfort level I needed to book the trip. Having not been out of the country for the past 10 years and going to a country such as Cuba.....I was a bit apprehensive. Steve's assurances that everything would be fine were confirmed daily while in Cuba. I not only felt safe while in the country, but felt very welcomed by the Cuban people and the hosts that Steve had lined up.
The level of expertise that Steve possessed about Cuba and the Cuban way of life was unsurpassed. His knowledge of historical facts and cultural values truly enhanced the Cuban experience on a continual basis. The tour was a perfect blend of Cuba. We spent time exploring the big city of Havana mixed with time at a beautiful beach town of Varadero and my favorite time was in the country visiting a tobacco farm in the Vinales Valley. The salsa lessons were challenging, but I was thankful I had them when we went to the Tropicana on the last night of the tour.
Steve was a master guide. Our group started as eight strangers and through Steve's leadership we felt like a tight knit group working together to make lifetime memories of Cuba.
The perspectives that I gleaned from visiting Cuba were life changing. I would highly recommend Steve Linder with Pacific Lots for any travel or guided tours in the future.
I hope to return to Cuba with Steve and will also be booking other travel adventures with Pacific Lots.
