We
are
a
family
of
4
(couple
with
2
young
adults)
that
went
on
4
private
tours
with
CubaOutings
over
2
weeks
in
Cuba.
We
initiated
contact
by
email
beforehand
and
quickly
chose
tours
with
Juliette,
who
provided
all
the
details
and
other
useful
information.
Our
guide
in
the
La
Habana
tour
was
Sissi,
who
showed
us
some
surprising
locations
we
would
never
get
to
see
if
we
explored
the
plazas
on
our
own,
and
even
customized
the
trip
specifically
for
us
–
highlighting
the
care
in
planning
and
preparation!
Our
driver
Juan
had
an
impeccable
Pontiac
V8
and
made
sure
we
had
both
family
and
individual
photoshoots
in
the
city’s
iconic
landmarks!
Aylenis
and
Yuniel
were
our
guide
and
driver
to
Viñales
&
Soroa
–
a
tour
showcasing
Cuba’s
beautiful
nature,
departing
from
La
Habana.
Aylenis
sprinted
to
get
us
tickets
to
“Cueva
del
Indio”
before
another
huge
tourist
group
which
saved
us
at
least
1h30
in
cues,
and
Yuniel
even
provided
some
extra
stops
on
our
way
back.
In
Varadero,
Miguel
was
our
guide
on
2
tours:
Cienfuegos
&
Trinidad,
and
Guamá
&
la
Bahía
de
Cochinos.
He
is
very
charismatic
and
detailed,
making
these
remote
destinations
even
more
enjoyable
and
interesting,
despite
their
duration
(over
8
hours).
In
one
of
them,
we
also
had
Fabio
with
us
(another
guide),
adding
fun
facts
about
the
culture
to
Miguel’s
history
storytelling.
Unfortunately,
we
didn’t
get
the
names
of
either
driver,
but
they
were
both
very
professional
and
friendly.
For
comparison,
we
also
attended
a
“standard”
hotel
tour
later
and
it
was
a
completely
different
experience
–
the
locations,
the
restaurants,
being
in
a
large
group
–
and
for
a
similar
price
than
the
private
tours
we
did,
it
wasn’t
nearly
as
good.
With
CubaOutings,
we
turned
from
tourists
to
travellers,
and
had
the
opportunity
to
eat,
by
far,
the
best
food
in
Cuba
at
local
restaurants.
Additionally,
we
almost
had
an
issue
during
our
trip,
and
they
immediately
offered
their
help
–
way
beyond
what
you
would
expect
from
any
tour
operator.
Thank
you
for
being
there,
we
will
be
recommending
them
to
anyone
visiting
Cuba
in
the
future.
