CULTURAL CUBA Insider Tours

ITINERARY: Nothing is cookie-cutter about a Cultural Cuba trip! We do not like rigid, inflexible tours. Our trips meet all the legal requirements of Support for the Cuban People travel yet offer custom-tailored activities and flexible pacing. Our curated itineraries mirror our travelers’ specific interests and travel goals while providing real-behind-the scenes access and authentic connections unique to Cultural Cuba immersive and enjoyable travel.

HOTELS: We only work with top centrally-located lux hotel properties in Havana such as the five-star Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski or the iconic Saratoga and vetted private and small boutique hotels.

DINING: The Food scene in Cuba is undergoing an evolution. Enjoy dining at top-rated Paladares. These are private restaurants ranging from 1-2 tables in home kitchens to full-scale restaurants hidden inside fully restored Mansions.

NIGHTLIFE: Jazz Clubs, Salsa Bars, Night Clubs, and some venues that only the locals go to enjoy. The only thing stopping anyone is a need for sleep. Havana is a late-night town. That said, there is no pressure to do anything at all after dinner. Travelers can go back to the hotel to rest or head out on their own with guidance from the guide who also serves as a night-time concierge.

GUIDES: Our Cuban Guides are the best there are in Havana. Our team of experienced and dedicated dynamic guides are highly educated with excellent English language skills. They are not afraid to give insights on the challenging aspects of living in Cuba as well as share and show the best of Havana’s fascinating culture and unique history.

HUMANITARIAN: Elect to add a Humanitarian element to your trip. Visit a music conservatory, dance school, pharmacy, pre-school, or other entity of interest where much-needed “non-cash” gifts may be donated. Through Cultural Cuba’s Support for the Cuban People legal tours, travelers make an important difference to the Cuban people.

CUBAN CUISINE & HAVANA DINING

Havana’s Top Restaurants, or “PALADARES,” are privately run and owned establishments often found inside of former mansions or private homes converted to restaurants. Cultural Cuba continuously vets each restaurant to make sure the food quality and service are exceptional. Our list of the best dining establishments changes frequently as new restaurants open or familiar ones don’t meet our expectations. Cuban cuisine in Havana is undergoing an evolution as chefs create unique interpretations of Cuban classics, pay tribute to traditional recipes handed down through generations, and celebrate a melting pot of styles and flavors.
