Spend four nights in colourful Havana. Founded by the Spanish in 1514 and for a long time a centre of trade between Europe and the New World, Havana has a long and complex history that includes the slave trade, pirate raids and the swinging nightlife of the 1950s. We ride in a horse-drawn carriage along the lively Malecon, explore old Havana and return to the hotel in classic American cars!
Stay two nights in the coastal city of Santiago de Cuba where Castro and Che Guevara started their revolution. Our tour includes the colonial heart of the city and the small island of Granma located in the middle of the bay

Tour the isolated colonial town of Baracoa, where Columbus landed in 1511. We also visit the nearby Yumuro Indian Village and have lunch along the beautiful Tao River
Visit the revolutionary town of Bayamo. It was here in 1868 that the local people, led by de Cespedes, revolted against the Spanish and freed all the slaves. Then, rather than hand the town over to the attacking Spanish, in 1869 they burnt it to the ground
Stay overnight in the charming city of Camaguey which is famous for its tinijas, large terracotta bottles used for storing water, oil and grain. We tour the old city by rickshaw
