Cruise the streets of Havana in a classic car
Walk through tobacco plantations in the UNESCO-listed Viñales Valley
Learn to dance salsa in Trinidad
Visit the picturesque Caribbean beach of Playa Ancón

The "Taste Of Cuba" tour starts from and ends in Havana. It is a cultural, religious and historic sites tour that takes 8 days taking you through Vinales, Havana and Trinidad in Cuba. "A Taste Of Cuba" is a guided small group tour that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Explore Cuba, a land known for revolution and rum, salsa and cigars, classic cars and crumbling colonial towns. The whole truth, however, is far more eye-opening and evocative. Guided by an expert tour leader, we unpack it all. Of course, there’s the essential experiences: dancing salsa, making mojitos and relaxing on the Caribbean sands of Playa Ancón. But it’s through our countless interactions with the local people and nightly stays in Cuban guesthouses that we truly understand a culture forged under unique circumstances: welcoming, sociable and resilient, despite daily adversities.
