Wonderful trip. Our guide ‘Chip’ had lived there several years so had personal experience to share with us. Very small group helped add to the personal experience. Could have used a little more ‘off’... See more

I went to Cuba twice with CCJ in 2018

I went to Cuba twice with CCJ in 2018, and each time had a fantastic trip. I learned so much about the country, its citizens, its history, its arts and architecture and its problems. Our guides were very knowledgeable and attentive. Definitely five stars!

Thank you for your kind words! So true, after all these years of going there, I still find Cuba like pandora's box - there is more to learn at every turn! We hope to see you on one of our other trips in the future - maybe Guatemala or Morocco in 2020?

CCJ Arranged Our Private Tour of Cuba

Ours was a private tour with old friends. Our American guide was the daughter of Cuban ex-pats. She spoke fluentSpanish, made spectacular arrangements for New Year’s Eve for us, and knew people and places along our way. We had superb lectures on music, dance, and even politics. A dance performance, visit to an artist coop studio, meals in private homes, museums —it was an experience I will never forget. All arrangements made by Cross Cultural Journeys were satisfactory to superb, within the context of what they were allowed by the Cuban government. I have highly recommended this company to others since my return.

A cherished visit to Cuba with CCJ

We enjoyed a superb visit to Havana & surrounding areas with CCJ in August 2017. It was truly a memorable journey. We had a top-notch guide (Cal Salermo) who taught us so much about the history & culture of the island. The Cuban people are very friendly and welcoming, and we felt 100% safe at all times.

Thank you Drew for your feedback. Yes, Cuba is indeed one of the safest places to travel in the Caribbean. We are glad you had a good experience with Cal.

The trip was amazing

The trip was amazing! Excellent itinerary, people and amazing experiences of music! Many delicious meals, street fun, dance exhibitions (and joining in). People were friendly, kind, interested and interesting. Leaders were knowledgeable and approachable. Highly recommend this journey.

Don't fly United! One Plane was freezing cold for some reason.

Cross Cultural Journeys Cuba travels are a memory waiting for you to go!

Fantastic experiences both as a traveler and trip host having traveled twice to Cuba with Cross Cultural Journeys. The detailed itineraries are fantastic with interests for everyone, and the Cuban guides could not be any better. Very engaging, extremely knowledgable and fun! Dining selections have all been terrific with over the top amount of food. Beautiful country and people who are warm and welcoming. Cross Cultural Journeys has the experience to create a most memorable trip for you too!

Luscious experience

My husband and I traveled to Cuba with a mixed group made up of several of our friends and a group of friends from Boston. We had a blast. We all got along so well, and the trip was curated so beautifully. We had most stimulating conversations each evening about the sites we had visited during the day and the people we had met. This was my first time on a tour, and it whetted my appetite for more. We learned and experienced so much more than we would have if we went on our own. Thank you CCJ.

Best trip I've ever taken

Best trip I've ever taken! The accommodations were outstanding with full delicious breakfasts. The guide was personable as well as knowledgeable. We were allowed to help plan our itinerary and decide how long to stay in one place. I am hoping to go back!

We went to Cuba in 2016 and enjoyed the trip and the venue. The group gathered was the most congenial. Most of the fellow travelers rarely joined any controlled travel arrangement and were independent minded, but we all enjoyed the new friends. With the opening of Cuba, this was the only way to enter Cuba.

With the new Federal laws, there will be limits as to where one can stay and if there will be any travel allowed. But the CCJ tour was well worth the experience.
