We had a terrific trip We had a terrific trip, a wonderful cultural experience. The tour was scheduled very well with fun outings as well as historical and educational background. Food was great accommodations were so so. Our guide, Yusi, really made the trip. She has deep knowledge and love for her country and we had great discussions about the current state of affairs. She was also very caring and accommodating with all the people in our group. As my wife said, on a scale of one to 10 she was a 25.

2024 Havana Jazz Tour Just got back from the Blue Note Tour in connection with the Havana Jazz Festival. I will echo the high praise I see in the other comments. Teresa was wonderfully responsive in the run-up. Our two guides on site, Ivan and Mauricio, were top-notch and we felt by the end that they were our friends. The best parts musically were the performances that Pacheco arranged in more intimate settings. And Pacheco himself -- what a musician and what a fine human being!

There is no where better for travel to… There is no where better for travel to Cuba than Cultural Island Travel! They made our experience in Cuba the most memorable experience for my wife and I! Our guide, Mauricio, and driver Carlos are simply the best. They are kind and the most knowledgeable people you will ever meet. Ask for them for your individual tour while in Cuba! You will not be disappointed. They both went above and beyond and we are truly grateful!

Havana is Amazing My husband and I have traveled the world for many years, but we never ventured to Cuba in spite it being so near. Cultural Island made obtaining the visa easy and designed an itinerary that highlighted the many cultural and historical offerings of the country. We loved the people, the music, the art and learning Cuba’s history. It’s truly a different world and Havana is beautiful, safe and clean. Most of all, we loved our guide Irma. Her knowledge and warmth and her joy in sharing Cuba was exceptional. My only reason for not rating 5 stars is there were glitches in where we stayed, but admittedly we have high expectations. I think all Americans should visit Cuba!

What a wonderful idea to come to Cuba… What a wonderful idea to come to Cuba for the jazz festival. But the best part was choosing Cultural Island Travel. Every person I came in contact with (Teresa before the trip) to Ivette our guide throughout the trip was intelligent, knowledgeable about the history of Cuba but created the fabulous itinerary. The Accommodations were lovely , excellent restaurants, transport was always available. Plus we were extremely lucky to have a great group of travelers. Of course the music was extraordinary. But I would like to say that my memories of Cuba will be about Ivette our guide. She is very caring, wanting us to have the best experience possible. We were very lucky to have her. I am planning another trip with Cultural Island and will hopefully get her as my guide again.
