This is our 2nd visit to Cuba with Espiritu Once again Carlos was our guide, he gives a very rounded view of Cuba taking us to both government restaurants & private ones showing us government shops & pharmacists & then to tourist shops & pharmacists The difference is obvious by the either empty shelves or stocked shelves We had an amazing time and each & everyone we met was informative & helped us understand how Cuba works. I particularly want to mention Rainier who took us on a nature trail & horse back riding- the only stables we saw who provided helmets for all riders with well looked after horses The people are so humble& happy, even with evidence of queuing for food when it came into the shops Only by going to Cuba on an educational tour can anyone begin to understand the lives they live Staying in people houses is an interesting insight, every house was very clean, with good breakfasts of fruit, toast, eggs Fruit juice- some houses are very good As passed down from grandparents to parents etc while an odd one is very basic - the people can only give what they have themselves & do willingly with such good heart- they are such proud, humble people Who need us to support them by booking these educational tours with Espiritu Travel They need our support which is why we have been twice in years

Cuba was an amazing experience! We felt welcomed and loved by the people. I felt a sister and brother connection, just like family. Jilian our guide is amazing! She was so informative and gracious. Roman the best driver and and guide. I loved the city of Havana and its history, music, and people. When we arrived at Las Terrazas it was paradise and Ida talked about the history and the land. The beach was a dream! The experience of being in Cuba made me want to go back and learn more about the people and the country.

We had an amazing week in Cuba. I've been there many times before but our guide, Carlós, was absolutely amazing: knew everyone, took us to interesting places we would never have found on our own, was flexible in our plans, was an amazing friend (and will be forever).

In the start of my Cuba trip plans, I contacted several tour companies from their website and Karin at Espiritu Travel was the only person to call me and ask how she could help me plan this special trip with my daughter. My daughter and I wanted to first enjoy one another while we had a hassle free adventure that allowed us to then focus on learning about Cuba. Our travel within Cuba was excellently coordinated with the best guide/driver...we loved him! Our casa particular home stay was just perfect. I highly recommend Espiritu Travel, go to Cuba, engage with the lovely people of Cuba, enjoy the music, cultural arts, countryside, and food.

Highly disappointed with the trip overall !! Our tour guide Oscar was amazing, we had a great time with him, so no complaints about him. Although, when taken all things into consideration with what was included or not included in our itinerary, we feel that we were EXTREMELY over charged to the point that at the end of our trip we felt frustrated and swindled!! The fact that the itinerary included a hiking excursion knowing my 78 year old mother would be joining us and the hike had numerous cliffs with absolutely no safety barriers is utterly disturbing. Other items that were supposedly included in our itinerary did not happen as well. I definitely will NOT be using this company again.

Wonderful trip. Better than expected. nice accommodations. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in attending to our needs. Much included for a reasonable price.

As always, Karin came thru with a well organized trip and a good value for me to take my family back to Cuba.The guides and people were fantastic, as was the accommodations!

We had a great trip with Espiritu. Both our guide and driver were amazing - warm, knowledgeable and flexible. The tour covered Havana - both the old town and newer artistic areas. A day trip to Las Terrazas, a community located in a Biosphere Reserve, was a special trip. As mentioned in the description, there were unexpected snags along the way, but our guide was able to adapt our itinerary to accommodate them. We stayed in a Casa Particular and ate in local restaurants, and so felt we really were exposed to Cuba and its people.
