    Wow... we experienced so much more than the trip notes mentioned. The hotels were superb, most had their own pools or there was a river or the sea on our doorstep. Travelling companions were a great bunch!

    A great holiday- but the first week was too much traveling ( breakfast, get on coach, 3 hours travel, stop somewhere nice, back on the coach, another three hours travel, arrive at hotel, meet for dinner, sleep, break fast, get on coach etc etc etc). It would have been better to have had more of two nights at a place.

    Good variety of experiences - cities, beach, mountains. Too much travelling in the first week, moving on every day. 3 hours on the bus in the morning, quick lunch stop, 3 more hours in the bus. Get to hotel. Hour and a half to turn around before out to dinner, same again next day. For the first week it didn't even feel like we were in cuba, as didn't have enough time in any one place to get to grips with it. Second week much better as spent two nights in most places and got more free time to explore. Overall, it was a good trip. Cuba is a fascinating place.

    There's a lot of mileage to cover but its worth it, especially to get to Baracoa, Santiago de Cuba and Sierra Mastra.  Also, the views are interesting - its like taking a step back in time.  Enjoy the revolutionary history, the national parks and the dancing.  Be warned, you may end up in a 4 star all-inclusive pacakage tourist style hotel, they can change at the last moment.

    Cuba is an island of contrasts - wonderful old and historic Havana,  the Rainforests teaming with wildlife and lush vegetation, the plantations of sugar cane, bananas, mangoes with coconuts growing freely and of course the beautiful quiet beaches of white sand and warm waters.  It was amazing!

    Exodus sent out the wrong itinerary. On tour discovered the last night in Havanna had been the shortened itinerary. Day of flight Iberia took 4 hours to fly from London to Madrid. Missed connecting flight. First night in Havanna missed. Exodus Head Office totally unsympathetic. Email which said "dont blame us for the fog, yes we sent out wrong itinerary, no we not doing anyhthing about it." Totally undermined Exodus tour rep. Cuban guide listened to the concerns of all the group, contacted his agency who amended the trip to include the last night in Havanna. Well done the local operator. Exodus wrong footed on every issue. PS Tropicana is as good as its repute!

    Unforgettable two weeks but you need to step outside your comfort zone.  La Isla Grande deserves a 5-star rating but on this particular trip too much went wrong!

    What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

     ... and caddy does not mean a golfer, but the amazing banged out Cadillacs and other amercian cars that you see on the road: we had a taxi ride, and the driver proudly told us the car was a 1951 model. Looked it, held together with bits of string: but it got us where we wanted to go. Santiago del Cuba was a great place, and was my favourite, although there is loads to see and do in Havana.

    What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

    The gradual appreciation of  how Fidel, Che and the their followers achieved their dreams.Seeing and learning all about Cuba's fascinating history so much of which has been preserved, the Spanish, English, American occupations, pirates, slaves and earlier peoples.An admiration and liking for the Cuban people, their music, dancing and cultures in spite of a tough standard of living mainly attributable to the long standing and widely condemned US embargo.
