GBWonderful trip - best way to see Cuba! Wonderful trip. Santi, our Cuban tour guide was so accommodating and full of information about Cuba's past and present day. He went out of our way to make sure every experience and meal was memorable. This was such a life changing trip and I'm so grateful to Karin, Santi and the team at Espiritu for allowing us to see Cuba this way.

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.

GBWe had a great trip with Espiritu We had a great trip with Espiritu. Both our guide and driver were amazing - warm, knowledgeable and flexible. The tour covered Havana - both the old town and newer artistic areas. A day trip to Las Terrazas, a community located in a Biosphere Reserve, was a special trip. As mentioned in the description, there were unexpected snags along the way, but our guide was able to adapt our itinerary to accommodate them. We stayed in a Casa Particular and ate in local restaurants, and so felt we really were exposed to Cuba and its people.

GBCuba - Ruta de la Revolución Wow, what can I say, Karin did an incredible job getting us to Cuba. To be honest, I feared the worst, especially with the recent travel restrictions reinstated by the Trump administration, but our trip went off without a hitch. Karin was very low key and low pressure throughout the entire process, and she knows the island well. That was especially important given where we were traveling, a very remote region on the island's southern tip. If you are planning a trip to Cuba, especially one far off the normal tourist trails, I honestly do not think you could do better than Espíritu Travel. Seriously, I am not sure you would even want to try. Karin makes everything easy.

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.
