Private Tour of Cuba6 February 2010  If you’re searching for an exotic vacation that’s sure to capture the attention of your friends when you return, consider visiting Cuba. This country has all the raw beauty and culture you could hope for in any vacation destination. But if you’re concerned about traveling through Cuba on your own, consider the option of seeing the country through a private tour guide company. Not only will they intimately know the sites and attractions, but they also speak the language since most Cubans do not speak English. Here are some typical destinations that you’ll visit on your private tour.
Havana
No visit to Cuba is complete without visiting the cosmopolitan city of Havana. It’s a real mix of both the old world and new world, with influences from a number of different countries. And with so much to see and with so many people (over two million residents), it pays to take a private tour to maximize your trip. A must-see is the city’s Old Town, where you’ll be transported back in time. You’ll find yourself surrounded by typical Spanish architectural style buildings dating from the 1500’s. A typical private tour might include a walking tour of the city, where you’ll visit a number of museums and Havana’s famous central square. Your guide will also undoubtedly tell you the best places to dine while touring the city.
Other must-sees on a typical private tour might include a visit to the country’s famous Revolution Square, and of course, the Museum of Revolution. And your itinerary will surely include a stop at the world-renowned Havana Cigar Factory.
Lake Hanabanilla
If you’re searching for the raw beauty of Cuba, a visit to Lake Hanabanilla is a must. Here, you’ll be able to lodge at the exquisite Hanabanilla hotel, and use it as base to visit the surrounding area. With the help of your guide, you can explore the area’s waterfalls and caves, as well as the miles and miles of winding trails that crisscross the landscape.
Sierra del Escambray Mountains
For more unforgettable experiences, a visit to the Sierra del Escambray Mountains should definitely be included in your private tour.
