Which trip style is right for you?

Essential: Room with 3+ other travelers in conveniently located hostels. For social butterflies who thrive on meeting other people.

Plus: Stay with just one other person in 3 or 4-star hotels. Perfect for couples or anyone who enjoys recharging in their own space.

Why go?

It’s as if 1958 came around, and Cuba was like, let’s never change. Fast-forward 65 years, and it’s pretty safe to say, mission accomplished. Hop from town to town, experiencing the throwback sights and sounds of this largely undiscovered island the way they’re meant to be experienced: like a local.

The Soul of Cuba

5 out of 5 stars

Traveler Evelyn, traveled in May 2024

Our recent EF tour to Cuba was nothing short of transformative. This is a place you go to make your heart bigger. The vibrant culture, rich history, and breathtaking landscapes were incredible, but it was the people of Cuba who truly were the soul of our journey. Their warmth,...

Amazing and Insightful Experience!

Traveler Sarah, traveled in Nov 2023

Cuba was absolutely incredible. The trip was thought-provoking, fun, and never dull. Our guide, Sally, was an absolute joy, super approachable, and made herself available for us no matter what. She went out of her way to make sure our trip was successful. The bus driver, Mario,...

Traveler Reagan, traveled in Nov 2023

There is not another trip that you can take that will be similar to this. Yes, bring some liquid iv (buy water every chance you get) and take toilet paper for when you’re not in the hotel, but you will be fine. EF will really take care of the rest and you will learn so much...

Traveler Megan, traveled in Nov 2023

If this trip isn’t on your wish list, add it! Cuba is full of art, history, and an almost indescribable culture that you must see for yourself. I really had no idea what to expect but I’m so glad I went on this trip to experience Cuba and an experience it was. If you go into...

Traveler Sela, traveled in Nov 2023

Just got back from my trip to Cuba, and the main thing I have to say is to book your trip now! Everything was so well planned and fun that by the time the trip was over it felt like no time had passed at all. I learned so much about the country and culture that the US has kept...

Simple yet Wonderful

5 out of 5 stars

Anonymous traveler, traveled in May 2023

Cuba was wonderful however 10 days is a bit much. It should be shortened to 6 or 7. Only one day is needed for areas outside Havana, except for Cienfuegos. The tour guide Sally was amazing. I would love to have her on all of my future EF vacations. She always made everyone feel...
