I am thinking of travelling to cuba for two to three weeks this june/july. My friends who I was planning on going with have dropped out so I am looking at going on my own now. It would put my parents mind at rest if they knew I wasn't going alone and so I am looking at going with a tour gorup
. Can anyone recommend any tour groups that I could look at booking with?
Cuba is no longer an exotic destination... there are loads of excellent guide books like Moon, Rough Guide, Lonely Planet, etc. to help you plan your trip.
There are several excellent Internet forums/blogs (like this one and Lonely Planet, Trip Advisor, etc.) that make it an easy place to research. The whole country is very safe and non-threatening; in fact it's arguably the safest developing country with a tourist industry IN THE ENTIRE WORLD to visit.
It has a very defined Gringo Trail with decent transport and accommodation options. Tourist scams are simple and no big deal, almost to the point of being naively innocent (compared to most other developing countries.)
If you're still nervous it's easy to have a local guide/resolver/travel agent give you a nice comfort zone by setting you up with a semi-arranged itinerary so you're not completely on your own, but believe me, unless you have zero travel experience and zero Spanish this is entirely unnecessary... Cuba is NOT a difficult country for independent travel.
Any other questions, ask away...
Cheers,
Terry
