GBCannot say enough about our experience Cannot say enough about our experience! Karin was excellent at walking us through the entire process with email, phone calls and some hand-holding when we needed it. Our guide, Darian, was so knowledgable, funny and full of energy. He gave us incredible insights not only into Cuba's history and culture but also what it means to be a Cuban citizen. He even hosted us for New Year's Eve at his home - a highlight of the trip - his lovely wife preparing a delicious traditional Cuban meal. Our driver, Jorge, was a consumate and gracious professional. Will defintely be using Espirtu in the future!

GBVery nice trip. Great experience of Cuba. Didn't see any museums as Monday they were closed on free time day. We should have gone the prior day with guide and driven to the monuments the next day. Would have liked to see the Museum of the Revolution and the Fine Art and Cuban arts museums. Would have enjoyed going to artists' studios. Our reservation at Obama's restaurant was not recorded but we were able to attend.

GBFriendly local guides. Good mix of activities. This tour uses knowledgeable friendly local guides and stays in small casas in regular neighborhoods. You get a good sense of daily life for ordinary Cubans. Activities are varied and include urban walks, mountain hikes, horseback ride, museums, snorkeling, and lots of delicious meals in unassuming family owned restaurants. Groups are very small. Our group of five was small enough that we could experience local scenes without overwhelming them. Karin was very helpful and responsive in helping us plan before the tour.

GBThe Cuban people need help My husband and I had a great experience with your company. Karin was so helpful and responsive. Our guide Darian was upbeat and very accommodating. The local guides were very sweet and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, my husband and I had some recent physical limitations so we needed to rest more than usual and not do a lot of walking. So, Darian made sure that was included in our tour. We felt it was very important to do what we could to support the Cuban people and were happy to not stay in the government supported hotels.
