An amazing experience in Cuba An amazing experience in Cuba. Our group was small and everyone got along beautifully. The services were high-end and comfortable.

Just What We Wanted and More We contacted Cilla at Cross Cultural Journeys just a couple of weeks before we had an opening in our schedule and could do this top bucket list trip to Cuba. Within a few days she had put together the outline of a wonderful journey and, within a week, we were set. Our two weeks in Cuba, beginning in the East (Santiago/Baracoa) and ending with a week based in Havana, was full of delightful experiences and much to digest in our areas of expertise and interest: music, culture, people to visit and speak with. Our guide Jesus Noguera, with us for the whole journey (except during planned alone time), was the best and we look forward to seeing him again.

CCJ Arranged Our Private Tour of Cuba Ours was a private tour with old friends. Our American guide was the daughter of Cuban ex-pats. She spoke fluentSpanish, made spectacular arrangements for New Year’s Eve for us, and knew people and places along our way. We had superb lectures on music, dance, and even politics. A dance performance, visit to an artist coop studio, meals in private homes, museums —it was an experience I will never forget. All arrangements made by Cross Cultural Journeys were satisfactory to superb, within the context of what they were allowed by the Cuban government. I have highly recommended this company to others since my return.

The trip was amazing The trip was amazing! Excellent itinerary, people and amazing experiences of music! Many delicious meals, street fun, dance exhibitions (and joining in). People were friendly, kind, interested and interesting. Leaders were knowledgeable and approachable. Highly recommend this journey. Don't fly United! One Plane was freezing cold for some reason.

I went to Cuba twice with CCJ in 2018 I went to Cuba twice with CCJ in 2018, and each time had a fantastic trip. I learned so much about the country, its citizens, its history, its arts and architecture and its problems. Our guides were very knowledgeable and attentive. Definitely five stars!
