WHY CHOOSE A TAILOR-MADE HOLIDAY TO CUBA?
Cuba is a place full of charm, music, and culture. It deserves more than just a one-size-fits-all tour. A tailor-made holiday is a way to explore Cuba your way. No rigid schedules, no fixed itineraries — just your dream trip, shaped around your interests.
WHAT IS A TAILOR-MADE HOLIDAY?
A tailor-made holiday is a custom trip explicitly built for you. Unlike standard tour packages, you choose where to go, how long to stay, and what to experience.
Want to spend three days in Havana, followed by a quiet beach escape? Done. Craving a week of cultural immersion and city exploration? That's easy too.
WHY CUBA IS PERFECT FOR TAILOR-MADE HOLIDAYS
Cuba offers so much variety in one place:
- Lively cities like Havana and Santiago
- Historic towns like Trinidad and Cienfuegos
- Quiet beaches like Cayo Levisa
- Nature-filled areas like Viñales
This diversity makes Cuba the perfect destination for custom travel.
FLEXIBILITY AND CUSTOMISATION
You can:
- Set your own travel pace
- Choose the towns and cities you want to explore
- Add activities like salsa classes or cigar workshops
- Skip the big resorts and stay in local guesthouses entirely
Your itinerary is entirely in your control.
CHOICE OF ACCOMMODATION
You are not limited to resorts. You can stay in:
- Boutique hotels in Old Havana.
- Casa particulares for a local feel.
- All-inclusive resorts in Varadero, Cayo Santa Maria, Cayo Largo, Guardalavaca.
LOCAL EXPERIENCES YOU WON'T FIND IN BROCHURES
- Visit a family-run cigar farm.
- Enjoy live Afro-Cuban music at a local venue

These experiences make your trip feel truly authentic.
COMFORT AND SAFETY
Travel in comfort and peace of mind:
- Private transfers and personal drivers

RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL
