Important info
•Tours depart on select dates: 05 & 19 February, 05 & 19 March, 02 April, 07 May, 04 June, 02 July, 06 August, 03 September, 08 October 2018
•Variations in the cycling routes are reserved.
•Any timings or sequence of activities provided are for rough guidance only, and may vary due to local availability, constraints and demand.
As our tours are set up many months in advance, changes can occur to accommodation, restaurants and places to be visited as a result of changes in the local provision of services in Cuba. This is especially apparent in the winter season as Cuba continues to cope and change as a result of unprecedented global demand for the island, as well as a rapidly emerging USA visitor market that is both politically and commercially important to the Cuban Government and Tourism Authorities.
Where tour accommodation is located in a narrow side street where a larger vehicle/bus cannot access easily, or road rules restrict the driver from pulling up outside, guests may be required to walk a short distance with their luggage to the closest access point.
Our escorted tour itineraries are generally fast paced to fit everything in, and will generally keep you busy. A reasonable level of fitness and mobility is required.
