“An excellent holiday which I would recommend to any one. But needs a bit of tweaking with the travel times in Cuba given the state of some of the roads and I would drop Santa Lucia as a stop.”

“Having had a few disappointing trips with explore over the last few years I had been put off using explore. However with recent worldwide restrictions I gave this trip a shot as I was already to be in Italy at the time, and this trip gave me back a little faith in explore. The group size was perfect (9), group dynamic was excellent (all got on), great tour leader (phil) and wonderful walks and food.”
