Detailed Description

You will embrace the unique history and surprising grandeur of historic cities and secluded countryside during your one-week couple’s tour of Cuba. From artists working beneath the trees of a grand boulevard to the unique elegance of European architecture that decorates Cienfuegos, the bountiful marine life that shimmers near the island shores to the fascinating limestone karsts that soar above scattered tobacco fields, your Cuba vacation will highlight the captivating images of the island while offering intimate experiences. You will travel from cityscapes to secluded national parks and from the charming countryside to quiet towns.

Your romantic Cuba vacation will begin with your arrival at Jose Marti International Airport, where you will meet your private transfer. With two nights in Havana, you will have time to indulge in the famous ambiance of the Cuban capital city, which ranges from the enticing sounds of rumba that weave through the open plazas to the graceful facades of neoclassical and Baroque architecture that symbolize the city’s colonial past. You will be provided with time to enjoy the unique views of the city from a vintage car and to learn the steps to a Guaguanco dance. Moreover, you will get a glimpse into the private and working life of Ernest Hemingway at Finca Vigia before enjoying the vibrant ambiance of cafes and restaurants that line the cobbled lanes.

A night in Vinales will offer you plenty of time to wander through the natural grandeur of Vinales on horseback for a charming excursion before traveling to Cienfuegos for a night. You will stop in Pinar del Rio to view the artistic nature of the city and visit the local cigar factory. Once in Cienfuegos, the wonders of the seaside city will shine during your private tour, showcasing the city’s historic architecture, vibrant waters, and casual atmosphere.

You will have the opportunity to follow the trail that leads to El Nicho Waterfall within the beautiful scenery of Gran Parque Natural Topes de Collantes en route to the colonial city of Trinidad. The pastel facades and extravagant 19th-century mansions will charm you as you traverse the city and its surroundings. Before returning to Havana, you will stop at the seaside town of Varadero, where you can visit with local vendors and discover the glowing marine life at one of the staggering coral reefs in the crystal-clear Caribbean waters.

Cuba Vacation Review: Salsa Lesson, 6 Nights

This trip was well worth every penny. Zicasso's tour operator was amazing and paid attention to every last detail. Our drivers and guide were so good. They knew exactly what we needed and wanted, and made sure the trip was perfect every single day. I know this sounds like I am gushing and that it couldn't have been this good, but it truly was!

Cuba Anniversary Vacation Review: Havana, Cienfuegos, Trinidad,...

Our Zicasso travel expert did a great job making all of our arrangements and making changes as needed while we were in Cuba. Our local guide and driver were excellent. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, very patient, and so gracious. Our driver took good care of us too. The guest house in Havana was amazing. The guest house in Trinidad was mediocre. The guest house in Varadero was in a great location and just fine. We loved the itinerary. The activities were diverse, interesting, and fun. We could not believe the VIP treatment we received everywhere we went – the dance school, the cabaret venue, restaurants, etc.

Cuba Trip Review: Culture, 1-Week Tour

Cuba is a fascinating country. Zicasso's travel agent was honest and “real” from beginning to end. Having both an amazing tour guide and driver truly made the trip even better. We had a few hiccups that the tour guide, along with our agent, took care of immediately.
