After longing to go to Cuba for many years I am SO thrilled that I chose Espiritu(Karin you are awesome!). Thank you Karin for all your valuable knowledge and assistance preparing for "Havana Imagined 2018." Thank you to Jim O'Donnell and Carlos for making it the trip of a lifetime. I know people say that about travel sometimes. This trip really was. My host at Casa Ydalmis, Julio, is a gem and my accommodations were lovely. The entire week I was in Cuba there was not one shortfall with any of the activities, our group of photographers became like family, Carlos showed us things that I never would have had the opportunity to experience were it not for all the careful planning and attentiveness to detail provide by all involved both in the US and in Cuba. Jim O' Donnell made sure we all had plenty of time to capture the images we wanted, gave useful advice and feedback and thus we could share our work each day. I will be returning next year. It is impossible for me to even write an appropriate and thorough review and I know I am gushing. One word, "GO!"

We did a three-day Havana tour with Espiritu and they were excellent. They told us there would be no more than 6 people on the trip but it turned out to be just us, which was amazing - our own guide for three days. And they take such good care of you, driving you all day, explaining so much to you. We loved staying at the casa particular and getting to experience just a bit more of the real Cuba. I have already recommended Espiritu to friends interested in seeing Cuba and would absolutely book with them again.

Everything they promised they delivered at a top-notch level. Prep was most helpful in getting us ready. This was definitely an adventure, but we would do it again!

Everything went seamlessly on our trip to Cuba through Espirtu! The accommodations exceeded our expectations and we could not ask for a better host in Julio. Our guide, Gillian, was also fantastic. She was friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a true taste of Havana. I would recommend booking through Espirtu to Cuba to anyone!

We had a fabulous trip to Cuba thanks to Espiritu Travel. Our guide, Thais greeted us with a warm hug at the airport and treated us like a family member for the entire trip. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the country's history and the life of the people and was not afraid to also provide an honest opinion. The itinerary was spot on, hitting all the popular tourist destinations as well as showing us other fascinating areas of Cuba. We highly recommend Espiritu Travel!!!

My wife and I spent 5 wonderful days in Cuba with Yilian as our guide and Rafael as our driver. We spent several days in Havana and an overnight trip out to Vinales, a national park. We would recommend Espiritu to anyone who wants to explore Cuba close-up with a knowledgeable guide and far away from the tour buses. The accommodations were all excellent and we were able to modify the itinerary to suit our needs as we went. Cuba is changing fast! Go see it now!

My spouse and I travel frequently, and we usually go it alone, meaning we research a place, make all the arrangements, and go for it. For Cuba, we booked with Espiritu Travel, and we could NOT be happier about that decision. From the moment our guide Carlos met us at the airport to the moment he dropped us back off, we had a seamless experience and got to truly experience a Cuba we would have been unable to know without insider help. Carlos was absolutely amazing. His English was great, and helped me practice my Spanish as well. He showed us neighborhoods in Old Havana and introduced us to the way Cubans truly live. Everyone was so kind to us. We came to really love Havana. Carlos also drove us to the beach on our free day, and we got to hang out with all the locals celebrating the last weekend before school starting. Vinales was so beautiful. We are already plotting when we can come back and how much more we want to see of Cuba. Karin was really helpful with all the arrangements. We opted to do a hike instead of horseback riding, and she was very accommodating. We loved our host at the Casa Particular. We had some great "Spanglish" conversations getting to know each other, and breakfast each day was so lovely. I really cannot say enough good things about Cuba, the Cuban people, the arrangements, the itinerary, or our guide. We fell in love and WILL be back (next time with the kids). Thanks Espiritu Travel for an amazing adventure.

Karin was amazing in help us prepare for our 2 day tour of cuba ! We took a cruise into Havanna and Espirtu was there to pick us up. I have to say the tour was made even more special because our guide was so incredible Thais -She wanted to make sure our tour was exactly what we imagined and she delivered. Thais was a walking encyclopedia no matter where we went or what we saw she knew the history and details which truly made the trip !! Seeing the rations and local market is something we will never forget. We also visited a local bar which was incredible and we got to have a true Cuban experience. The trip was a once in a lifetime experience - which was made possible by Espiritu tours and Thais our wonderful guide and now friend !
