The Cuba Direct Difference

Private tours

All of our tours are private, which means no compromises. You pick travel dates that fit your schedule and, on several tours, can even choose the airport you want to arrive at and depart from. Along with flexibility, you’ll benefit from the undivided attention of your guide, ensuring a more enriching travel experience. Plus, there’s no risk of your trip being cancelled due to an insufficient number of participants.

Casas Particulares

Guesthouse accommodation

As longstanding champions of private Cuban enterprise, we book all our travelers into independent guesthouse accommodation. Known in Cuba as casas particulares, they have the same (often better) standard of facilities as a hotel but offer a level of cultural insight that other types of accommodation can’t deliver. Each casa particular has been handpicked by our team of experts for their friendly hosts, superb rooms, and authentic Cuban flavor. Speaking of flavors, your casa will provide a delicious home-cooked breakfast every morning.

The Team on the ground

We boast a beautiful office in Havana’s historic center and have reps stationed around the country. They’re on hand to offer advice, share tips, and smooth any bumps in the road should they arise. What’s more, having an expert team on the ground allows us to stay abreast of developments and trends in Cuba – from Havana’s best new restaurant to road closures in Pinar del Río. We’ve got it – and you – covered.
