Horrible, unprofessional, bedbugs - do not consider this company! My experience was a disaster, as was that of our entire group. I cannot express strongly enough how horrible this tour company is. Our guide/owner was reliving meeting his wife and romance on our time without considering that it might not be why we went to Cuba. I was put in horrid accommodations and was infested with bedbugs - my face swelled beyond belief from bites early in the trip and I had a difficult time ridding these bugs from my life. Later I learned that two women from the group got a refund. I had decided to move on and try to forget the whole fiasco. But now I receive a request from Cultural crossroads for my review, so that spurred my memory of the most unforgettable and horrific trip I have ever been on - and I paid a substantial sum for this torture. Leif/owner was my guide and can verify that what I share is factual. I feel a small compensation for what I went through would be a refund check for the full amount of my trip from Cross Cultural Journeys.

Just What We Wanted and More We contacted Cilla at Cross Cultural Journeys just a couple of weeks before we had an opening in our schedule and could do this top bucket list trip to Cuba. Within a few days she had put together the outline of a wonderful journey and, within a week, we were set. Our two weeks in Cuba, beginning in the East (Santiago/Baracoa) and ending with a week based in Havana, was full of delightful experiences and much to digest in our areas of expertise and interest: music, culture, people to visit and speak with. Our guide Jesus Noguera, with us for the whole journey (except during planned alone time), was the best and we look forward to seeing him again.

I went to Cuba twice with CCJ in 2018 I went to Cuba twice with CCJ in 2018, and each time had a fantastic trip. I learned so much about the country, its citizens, its history, its arts and architecture and its problems. Our guides were very knowledgeable and attentive. Definitely five stars!

Cross Cultural Journeys made all… Cross Cultural Journeys made all arrangements for a trip that in one week gave us a deep and wide view of Cuba’s history, culture and it’s various visions of the future. The guide they provided was a former university professor who spoke perfect English, was fun to be with, loved his country and was eager to help us learn about it. We learned a ton and enjoyed ourselves enormously!

I love Cross Cultural Journeys I love Cross Cultural Journeys! Best vacation I ever had! We went to Cuba with Taj Mahal, Jon Cleary and Roger Glenn for 10 days. The guides were knowledgeable, fun and creative! Highly recommend!
