Cuba

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Cuba is a fantastic vacation spot, we highly recommend it to all our friends. The Cuban people are friendly and gracious. The culture, history, art, food, music, and natural beauty are all great.

Overall the experience with Zicasso was trouble free and easy. The travel company that Zicasso connected us with was great. Our travel agent and the team at the travel company were a dream to work with. They are very accommodating and flexible, and put together an itinerary that was exactly tailored to our interests. This travel agent is very responsive and patient, taking lots of time to understand our interests and answer our questions. The lodgings, guides, drivers, and attractions arranged by our travel company were spot on. The itinerary was very full, but left enough time for us to explore on our own, or just enjoy the beach in Trinidad.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

We really enjoyed the personal interactions with the Cuban people. They are friendly and interested in learning about our society, and openly share details about their lives. We found the history interesting in that Cuba is over 500 years old, but some very seminal events in Cuban history have happened in the recent past. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and music in Trinidad, the mountain hike and waterfalls, and the art and culture in Havana.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

Not much really. I think from a timing perspective it would have been better to do the Art tour early in the stay in Havana so that we would have had more time to do the paperwork to get artwork out of the country. Same for the farm to table lunch. Because we were crunched for time on the back end of the trip there was no slack in the schedule for a rainy day that prevented us from getting to the farm.

I might recommend limiting an 8-day trip to two destinations ... Trinidad and Havana. That being said, our tour company booked exactly what we wanted, so no complaints.
