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.

Wonderful trip Wonderful trip. Our guide ‘Chip’ had lived there several years so had personal experience to share with us. Very small group helped add to the personal experience. Could have used a little more ‘off’ time to relax as we were constantly on the go. Great food too.

Most of the fellow travelers rarely joined any controlled travel arrangement and were independent minded, but we all enjoyed the new friends. With the opening of Cuba, this was the only way to enter Cuba. With the new Federal laws, there will be limits as to where one can stay and if there will be any travel allowed. But the CCJ tour was well worth the experience.

A TREASURE OF A TRIP Our trip to Cuba was a treasured experience thanks to the thoughtful planning of Cross Cultural Journeys. We experienced Cuba and its distinctive culture up close and personal. From many delicious meals at local family restaurants, unique music performances to really experiencing the life culture of Cuba - thanks to knowledgable - English speaking Cuban guides It was one of those amazing trips of a lifetime. Just 90 miles from Key West Florida - but a world away - a beautiful people and culture frozen in time. Loved the trip.
