  1. Fertours, THE BEST EVER!,  people, look no further if you want a first class experience.  We were only two on our two day and one night tour of Havana.

    First of all let me tell you about Fernando the owner.  He always answered every question promptly.  I even referred a couple before we went to Havana and they were very pleased.  So, we had a little blip first morning.  My fault also.  Fernando and I never noticed that my confirmation day was wrong.  I was so impressed, one of his other guides handled  everything even though she was to do a tour herself.  She would not leave us until another guide was sent promptly to us.  Her people were very understanding and off they went once our replacement guide and driver showed up.  It was all handled very professionally.  I don’t know who our guide would have been but the gentleman and driver that were with us for two days, we hit the jackpot.  Such nice men.  We asked them to join us as our guests for lunch.  What fun we had and what outstanding food.  We were gifted with a cigar and a glass of excellent rum.  I had a Coke too so Rum and Coke, great way to end the meal.

    We went to the indoor market and there was our dear guide carrying the 3 paintings we bought.  It’s always good to have a man around.  We finished shopping and with a quick call our car was out front for us.  Back to the ship to freshen up for the evening at the Buena Vista Social Club.  What a better choice then the Tropicana.  It was the old time Cuba.  Once again we asked our guide to be our guest.  I felt like we were with our good friend.  

    Next morning we met right across the street from the ship for our tour of Old Havana.  After that we were going for a ride in a pink convertible.  It rained!  Well no convertible but we still did everything we had planned.  We were back to our ship exactly when we requested.  I get nervous about that so left plenty of time.

    We departed Havana with new friends, not just some tour guide.  I have recommended many of my friends to call Fernando at Fertours.  You should give him a call too.  I’m very fussy and have high standards, we were certainly not disappointed in any way.  Thank you so much Fernando.  We will be back!

  2. Hi all.  I have been reading your questions and reviews about private tours in Cienfuegos.  I have written many reviews on Cruise Critic and Trip Advisor.  I have been on 55 cruises.  I have done all kinds of tours, large groups,  small groups, private, local taxi and where there are Hop on Hop off buses did those too.  So now let me tell you about TRINIDAD SIGHTSEEING.  I have never experienced such an outstanding company.  Anna is your contact person.  I felt like Anna was a long time friend making sure that we had an outstanding tour.  We met our guide just beyond the port where he was standing holding a card with my name along with other guides.  We then met our driver and off we went.  The gentlemen who was our PRIVATE guide is an English Professor and everywhere we went there was a former student who ran up to give him a hug.  We sat for a while in the city square while he explained some of the history of Cienfuegos.  Then we walked around the “downtown” area before returning to our driver.  Off we went to see the beautiful homes along the water.  We stopped in a lovely restaurant (did not eat there) and enjoyed the live music for a bit.  We walked over to a beautiful hotel and oh how I wish I could have stayed there instead of going back to the ship.  Then we went to lunch and invited our outstanding guide to join us.  All I can say is don’t even think of considering another tour company as TRINIDAD SIGHTSEEING is first class all the way.

    i plan on returning to Cuba for my third visit and I will be contacting my new friend Anna to set up a tour to Trinidad for us this time.  I really don’t even know how to put into words my complete delight with this company.  You can reach Anna at https://trinidadsightseeing.com/ and her email. info@trinidadsightseeing.com. Tell her Jill sent you.  You have my promise to have the best tour ever at a unbelievable fair price.  Go visit Cuba!  It’s unlike any Caribbean Island you have ever been to. 

  3. ItalyTours.eu, great company. They were so responsive prior to our trip. We did an Amalfi Coast tour with them from Thr Naples Port. I’m always nervous when I do an independent tour about getting back to the ship on time. I was reassured before our cruise that they have never been late. Indeed we were returned with plenty of time to spare. You won’t be disappointed with this company. Ask for Cristina when you contact them. I am very particular they were great a five star tour company.

  4. Been on this ship twice. Solo cabin but with friends in other cabins. First trip no complaints. 2nd trip was just before they were returning to Europe and they changed their crew. This caused some language barriers but they were always nice. Don't be scared by the reviews. I'm very particular and have done 50 cruises on all the Premium lines also Disney. I loved the Divina, prettiest ship I have ever been on. No one was ever rude. Food good not great, pizza is great. Also I think one of the best lines for solo cruisers. They have a separate entertainment staff just to make sure everyone gets involved and they are always having parties. I'm booked on their New Years Eve cruise this year because I know I won't feel alone.
