Cuba Vacation Review: Havana, Cooking Class, Local Gardens, Historical Sites, Beach, the People & Culture

The travel company gave us an unforgettable trip. For background, we travelled to Cuba less than a week after the island was hit by Hurricane Ian. Eli from the company was in touch with me the entire week leading up to the trip updating me with how the area we were travelling to was faring. The day before we left she made some last second  itinerary adjustments, completely flipping the two towns we were travelling to so the harder hit area had another two days to clean up. For a country we didn't know much about, the travel company made us feel completely at ease. 
The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. We worked on our Spanish so we could speak to the driver. Our guide was a wealth of knowledge, and was clearly a trivia fan like I am. At times they kept offering to stop talking so my wife and I could enjoy each others' company, but honestly we were having such a great time interacting with them that we just kept speaking with them. 
We stayed in two beautiful guest houses. The food was included in our trip, and the guides' choice of restaurants was impeccable. Everywhere we went the people were so friendly. 
We weren't sure what to expect, as we left the company build our itinerary, but we ended up with a very busy and interesting trip. We took a cooking class, visited a local garden, toured parks, went to the beach, and saw various historic sites including the memorial to the USS Maine and the yacht Granma. 
If we return to Cuba we will use this travel company.
