Cuba with Intrepid

I’ve just returned from a week in Cuba. This wasn’t on a cruise or a city break in Havana or even just a beach break in Varedero. This was a escorted tour seeing the real Cuba. Yes, I did start in Havana and I did see a beach in Trinidad but I saw a lot more to Cuba than just the usual you’d expect to see in a holiday brochure. This was all down to Intrepid who happen to be experts when it comes to escorted tours. They know there stuff and are well organised. They started way back in 1988 and are sending 100,000 people every year through 120 countries over their 1500 plus itineraries. They’re kinda a big deal. They pride themselves on being able to provide small groups to have big adventures and be responsible when it comes to travel.

I’m looking forward to them working closely with us here at cruise.co.uk in the future with some of our Tailor-Made and Bucket list packages that we offer. To combine some of their tours and a cruise will be awesome. I was very impressed with Intrepid. Having the knowledge is key, using local tour guides who are also passionate about their own country and can share their experience and knowledge with us.

You learn a lot, more than I did in History at School. The relationship with the States, the Spanish invasion, the Cuban revolution and all about Castro brothers and Ernesto “che”Guevara
Very interesting indeed.

Everything Intrepid was good from start to finish. The coach for the journey, the accommodation in the guest houses, the sight seeing on the tour and the restaurants all booked in advanced just made things run smoothly! Intrepid only having small groups of around 12/16 people depending on what tour, is also a plus. You have the more personal touch, that sense of not being in a crowded group like out on a school trip. With some recent tours with other operators one of the common complaints we get is the tour group was too big. Not with Intrepid. So, if you’re going to consider an escorted tour these guys are excellent and I’m sure they have a tour for just about everyone.

Over the next couple of weeks I will be posting a few blogs about my trip to Cuba to share the amazing experience I had. This being a little introduction to our friends at Intrepid and to thank them for providing us the opportunity to see the real Cuba.
Keep checking back for future blogs with all that we did and the places we visited and again all thanks to Intrepid.
