Cultural Island Travel - Travel To Cuba LegallyReviews of culturalislandtravel.com

Wonderful trip. Our tour leader was exemplar. We were taken to great restaurants, heard fabulous music, and our days were filled with touring with very little down time. Highly recommend this tour company.

I enjoyed every moment in Cuba,our tour Guide was wonderful and knowledgeble.AIr B and B were very nice.Food was very good.My tour company took me to nice places for lunch.Overall i had positive experience.I will recommend Cultural Island Travel to my friends and family.

This team made our few days in Havana amazing. It's not easy navigating through this city on one's own and after this trip I would recommend this company to everyone traveling there. The curated itinerary led us to amazing tours, restaurants, museums and so much more. Beyond cigars and vintage cars, they are rich in arts, architecture, music, history and most of all spirit of community. Everything was planned out perfectly to fit our interests and more...this will be a trip that we will always cherish.

My husband and I loved our experience in Havana, Cuba with Blue Note. I don't think it would have been nearly as good if we had planned the trip ourselves. Blue Note gave access to music schools, music rehersals and opportunities to meet the artists. Our guides were knowledgeable and fun to be with. Irma, our wonderful guide even got us an artist home visit which was a trip highlight. Our friends who have seen our photos all want to go to Cuba now. I hope they do and I recommend they do it through Blue Note.

Just got back from the Blue Note Tour in connection with the Havana Jazz Festival. I will echo the high praise I see in the other comments. Teresa was wonderfully responsive in the run-up. Our two guides on site, Ivan and Mauricio, were top-notch and we felt by the end that they were our friends. The best parts musically were the performances that Pacheco arranged in more intimate settings. And Pacheco himself -- what a musician and what a fine human being!

Had a wonderful time, busy but worth it, I stayed dry to enjoy all the activities, a little taste of Rum here and there, kept it casual to enjoy the full days of activities. Really enjoyed and appreciated our Team Leader Ivette, her knowledge, charm, good manor, sense of humor and taking good care of her group, we all love her! Our driver Daniel, all of us in his hands, driving us safely to and from, also a joy to be around. Restaurant choices were wonderful, verity of flavor, The Group had no issue sharing. The group, wonder mix, we all enjoyed each others company, no drama, if a change in schedule, was never an issue, we all went with the flow. Not easy getting strangers together, this group came together, was a blast of energy, kind souls, hearts. BnB was nice and clean, the staff wonderful people, loved the ladies, wonderful breakfasts. Away from any walking distance of activity to explore, but the days were filled with full day activities, to arrive back to rest a bit, then prepare for the evening Jazz events. I came to explore Cuba even though this was for the Jazz events. Cultural Island Travel is fantastic, and working with Teresa was the icing on the cake, got back quickly to assist with any concerns, issues. All in all a great time, wonderful experience with a Tour guide and fantastic group, like family.

Had a great experience in Havana. Everything was well organized and the travel agent was responsive and professional.

What a wonderful idea to come to Cuba for the jazz festival. But the best part was choosing Cultural Island Travel. Every person I came in contact with (Teresa before the trip) to Ivette our guide throughout the trip was intelligent, knowledgeable about the history of Cuba but created the fabulous itinerary. The Accommodations were lovely , excellent restaurants, transport was always available. Plus we were extremely lucky to have a great group of travelers. Of course the music was extraordinary. But I would like to say that my memories of Cuba will be about Ivette our guide. She is very caring, wanting us to have the best experience possible. We were very lucky to have her. I am planning another trip with Cultural Island and will hopefully get her as my guide again.
