Cuba Candela

"Our guide, Laura was an amazing teacher and passionate about her country and amazing people…in spite of the difficulties that face Cuban people on a daily basis…the Social Impact Tour was inspiring and an experience we will never forget…we took a private Luxury Tour and were able to immerse ourselves into this unique culture. Laura explained life on a daily basis, but also showed how the people we met have overcome their challenges and, with resilience and creativity are transforming their situations and also help others in their communities. Thank you Cuba Candela for this wonderful journey!"

"Our tour guide Carly Paredes made our trip very personal and informative. He made sure that we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves at all times. He was at our hotel to greet us when we arrived and then took us on a walking tour of old Havana. He was with us on each of our adventures and acted as both guide and interpreter whenever needed. He is an excellent representative of Cuba and a very nice person to spend time with in Cuba."

"THE way to see Cuba ! I had booked this trip in 2019, Covid happened and I finally was able to go to Cuba in June 2023. The trip and itinerary had evolved a few times due to life and it was the most amazing trip. My teenage daughter and I were able to see life in Cuba up close and personal. Our guide Martha was outstanding ! She introduced us to Cuban culture, food, lifestyles, etc. She made our trip go from an A to an A++!! If you are fortunate enough to visit Cuba, this is the way to go !"

"I just came back from a Cuba Candela Social Impact tour. I can't say enough what a great trip this is. If you are someone that loves to learn about the culture, art and life of wherever you travel to, this is a trip for you! From the moment you step foot on Cuban ground until you end, you are immersed in all things Cuban. I felt safe during the entire trip. I learned so much about how Cubans live, and their struggles for basic needs.The restaurant choices were excellent. The guides were knowledgeable, great translators, open to all questions, interesting and (lol) patient getting 5 chatty, socially conscientious ladies through each scheduled stop on the itinerary. Really great trip that I highly recommend!!!!"

"Cuba Candela planned a custom tour for me, and it was fabulous; one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. Once I told them what I was interested in doing, they took care of everything. It was seamless! All of their local partners in Cuba were wonderful: knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and exuding a passion for what they do. Highly recommend!"
