Do I need a visa for Cuba?
Most nationalities need a Cuban Tourist Card. We help arrange this before departure. US passport holders have additional requirements — we provide specific guidance.
Can I use credit cards in Cuba?
US-issued credit cards do not work in Cuba. Bring cash (EUR or CAD recommended) — we provide detailed money guidance before the trip.
Is the December departure special?
Yes — the Dec 23 departure includes New Year's Eve celebrations in Havana. It is one of our most popular departures.
What is the food like?
Mexican food is world-class — expect everything from street tacos to fine Yucatecan cuisine. Cuban food is simpler but improving rapidly, especially in Havana's paladar restaurants.
Is it safe?
Both countries are safe for tourists in the areas we visit. Our local guides know the cities intimately and we stay in well-vetted accommodations.
