What Customers Say

Sylvia B., Havana Offshore Tour, March 2019

Just want to let you know that the tours with Patricia went very well.  Patricia is great and we all enjoyed being with her. 

The restaurants that you chose for us were exceptional.  We never would have found those on our own.

Thanks for making our trip to Cuba easy.

Sherry, Havana Offshore Tour, October 2018

I must tell you how happy we are that we booked this unforgettable excursion with your company,  As you know, we needed a personal excursion for just the three of us as we were traveling with my 98 year old mother-in-law and did not want to hold up a group or over tax Mommy.  Santiago was perfect!  When we could, we rolled Mommy in her walker.  When we couldn’t, Santiago had her on his arm and really tailored the excursion to her.  We saw beautiful squares, had lunch in a great restaurant and wonderful rides in 2 different classic cars.  We passed street musicians and Santiago danced with Mommy making it very special for her.  At the end, he even brought his family into town to meet us!  He is a very special person and very knowledgeable about the history of Cuba.  We will never forget how at home he made us feel.  We cannot recommend his and your services more.  Thank you for a wonderful adventure!

Marta, Day Tour, May 2018

I wanted to extend to you my sincerest gratitude to you for all of your effort in coordinating our travel and itinerary to Cuba. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for our family and one that will stay in our hearts forever. Irma was absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond to accommodate us. She was also extremely informative about the history of the island. We would definitely like to return in the near future to will be coordinating travel with your agency.
