learn more about Cuba

Hola Friend,


como estas? Hope you have been well.


We just concluded another tour, for a lovely family of 3, they had a great whirlwind visit to Cuba. Four days in and around Havana. What can you even fit into that trip you may wonder?


Quite a lot and not even at a rushing pace!


Started with a day tour to Vinales, visiting a lovely family, learning all about the life on a farm, the process of the tobacco, honey, coffee. They had a delicious traditional lunch here before discovering town off the beaten path.

They had a cocktail class in Havana's leading bar, with amazing views and relaxed into the afternoon with more cocktails on the rooftop. They discovered Old Havana on a walking tour, enjoyed a cooking class, and loved their personalised classic car tour, that took them all the way to Finca Vigia.


All by design of course!


We went through the list of things they'd looove to do and we picked the best places, providers to offer the experiences of course with little tweaks along the way to ensure that things are running smoothly, add perfect weather, et voila!


A fun trip to be had by all.

We had some fantastic tours over the past 3 month. And each one different, means we can keep looking at other ideas too! We have a few things in the pipeline as some of you got very excited about the fashion shows, vintage markets and art galleries as well as the food.


So have a few things brewing up for you. If there is anything in particular you are interested in, please let us know.


Whilst you are thinking, here is food for inspiration. We have been chatting with the lovely Deanne Scanlan on her podcast, The Runaway Suitcase, about Cuba. Please feel free to hop on and have a listen and of course if you have any questions, shout out.
