The experience is certain to offer a unique opportunity not only to visit the island but also to experience its people, politics, culture, and history in a way few ever have.

After our chartered flight from Tampa arrives at Havana’s historic José Martí International Airport, we will attend private seminars and concerts featuring prominent Cuban professors, government officials, urban planners, journalists, musicians, artists, dancers, and community activists. We’ll also tour museums with renowned art historians, wander through the artist’s markets of Old Havana, experience the hospitality of local residents in small country towns, and savor traditional Cuban food and spirits at the island’s finest restaurants and markets.

The all-inclusive cost of this weeklong tour is $5,585 to $5,990 per person (double/single occupancy) and includes round-trip chartered airfare between Tampa and Havana, six nights at the Hotel NH Capri La Habana, one night in a private guesthouse in Pinar del Río Province, all transportation within Cuba, tours, seminars, lectures, concerts, most of your meals, and many other captivating events.
