North America Tours in December 2025

This trip was a fantastic way to explore more of Cuba and learn about it's history and culture from locals! The cycling was great overall, there were some hills that were tougher - especially with the humidity and being directly under the sun, but very rewarding. There were lots of long stretches on the trip where we could all cycle at our own pace and so many locals coming out of their homes and shops to wave while we cycled by. I especially loved the views on day 11 cycling along the coast to Cienfuegos! Lunch at the farm on day 13 was definitely the best meal we had while on the trip, but in general, I was surprised with the food options we had for many of our meals. The itinerary was also jam packed with different activities, I absolutely loved our beach day in Trinidad and the classic car tour of Havana was so much fun!

We were lucky to have a highly experienced tour leader in Tommy Morales. He had to contend with various hiccups along the way (e. g the coach driver having an accident on the way to meet us in El Salvador) and he did this seamlessly, always with good nature and humour .

Our tour guide Tarik was excellent, as was the itinerary. Some accommodation was good, one definitely was not so good, but it didn’t spoil a great trip in a fascinating country. I’m already looking at options for my next trip.

Tarik was fantastic. He was so enthusiastic, knowledgeable and just an all round great guy. I’ve been on a few Explore trips now and I’d say he was my favourite guide along with Alex in Georgia. They’ve all been really good though! 😁

An excellent tour in a great and under explored country. A very engaging mix of history , culture , wildlife and experience of the countries day to day life. This was all made even more enjoyable by our superb trip leader Justin Wiltshire , who continuously went the extra mile to ensure the group had the best possible holiday.. The final days snorkelling trip was a truly unmissable day.

A wonderful holiday. A great mix of archaeology, plants, birds and snorkelling. Allow Storm Sara added a few blips it in no way marred our holiday. Justin, our guide, was always on hand to guide and help, nothing was too much trouble.
