One Week Cuba Itineraries

"If you are looking for a first class Cuban vacation, you should absolutely book with this travel team!!!"

"We were impressed with the services initially provided by Zicasso, extending to those of our tour operator and the local team in Cuba."

This trip was amazing and Zicasso's trip planner went above and beyond to help us plan it and make sure everything was in order. As Americans traveling to Cuba, there were a few challenges with planning this trip. She made sure our visas were in order, printed, and on our phones, and planned all our activities and wonderful restaurants. 

Our guide and drivers were old friends by the end of the week. Our guide was so nice and knowledgeable, and willing to share so much with us. They all took very good care of our group of four. 

Our B&B was also amazing, with staff who were so kind and attentive. 

We learned so much about the history and culture of Cuba, had delicious local food and drinks, and visited places we would never have discovered on our own. I would highly recommend our agent and her travel company!!

"Our trip to Cuba was amazing, far exceeding our expectations!"

After a very shaky start, the trip turned out great. We became alarmed and almost aborted the trip when we were given a translator whose English skills were poor AND no one picked up our friend at the airport which had been prearranged. By the time we had gathered her, it was 4 pm and we were supposed to set off on a 7 hour journey to Trinidad. It didn’t seem wise to embark on such a trip so late in the day. We were also concerned about the “vintage “ cars without seat belts or headrests. If we had been better informed regarding the situation, we would have understood and agreed to this arrangement without question. Cuba is, after all, in economic crisis. Our agent heard our concerns and responded beautifully. She couldn’t do anything about the old cars without safety features but she recommended that we stay the night in Havana. She put us in a fabulous hotel. From then on, the trip was spectacular. She sent a new translator who was fabulous. Our accommodations in Trinidad were just lovely as were the restaurants and activities. The hike could have been better described. It was very difficult. We turned back because we didn’t have enough water or walking sticks. Bay of Pigs was interesting. We would have loved a guided snorkeling tour. I would recommend this group provided they use our translator or equally competent translator and that they upgrade their descriptions of the “vintage “ cars and the outings.

Everything went exactly as planned. Eli listened to us and executed perfectly. From the hotels to the guides, the sites and restaurants. We were met at the airport in Havana by a driver of a classic car and a guide. Both stayed with us for 5 days. They were very knowledgeable and we were completely comfortable in their presence and enjoyed their company and learned a great deal from them. Everything we were told was prepaid in advance was indeed included and even a last minute lunch place change didn't cause any issues. The places we stayed matched our criteria completely including safety, locations and cleanliness. The people that own and work at each establishment were fabulous and made us great breakfast every morning.The dinner restaurants that Eli planned for us were beyond fabulous. She nailed it! We ate in a farm to table home that is top rated in Vinales where the owners came and spoke to us and in Havana the superb, cool and delicious meals were literally highlights of our trip. Each evening after dinner we experienced local music in a different club.
