Cuba Round Trips In Small Groups

By Jose Maurette Garces

Cuba is a country that very few people know anything about because of the travel restrictions that were in place for so many years. Now the United States has lifted those restrictions, and Americans have permission to travel there. As a result, there are some exciting, small group Cuba tours available for tourists.

If you are a traveler who enjoys seeing new countries, you will enjoy a small group tour. You will not only be touring as a group, but individually, you'll have the opportunity to do some sightseeing on your own. You can, also, choose to participate in some optional local activities at the same price the Cubans pay.

Many people return from tours disappointed because they didn't have an opportunity to interact with the local people. They normally only see places that are set up for tourists, and return home knowing very little about the local customs. Small group tours in Cuba is not like that. The tour guides are local Cubans, and most nights will be spent in the home of a Cuban family.

There is nothing luxurious about these tours, but everything is clean and comfortable. You will get to know each person in your tour group because the groups are small. The entire tour will be led by your local tour guide.

The Western Cuba Tour is a perfect example of a small group tour. These tours are arranged for groups of two to twelve. The most common group size is seven. Everyone will fly into Havana on the first day at the time that is convenient for them. There are no activities scheduled for the first day so you can spend it doing whatever you want.

Days two through six will be spent visiting two other special locations. During that time you can ride horseback, go snorkeling off of one of Cuba's white sand beaches, look for wildlife, explore caves, hike or go bicycling. These nights will be spent in the home of a Cuban family. Day eight is the same as Day one. There are no planned activities, and you may do whatever you want. You are free to leave at the time you choose.

Small group Cuba tours are a great way to have an informal, relaxed vacation. You will make lifelong friends, and there will be an opportunity to interact with the Cuban people. This is the best way to see Cuba as it is.
