Cuba Shore Excursions

[Llansa Man]

With the popularity of Cruises to Cuba growing by the day, here are a couple of tips to avoid those horrific shore excursion costs charged by the Cruise Lines!

In Havana, I highly recommend the private Tour Guide Company CUBANEAMOS - The Guides are all "Professional" people - ours was a Lawyer, others are an Oncologist, an Accountant, a School Teacher etc. etc. The cost is CUCS25.00 per person - Best Value - go to nosotroscubaneamos@gmail.com and Geikis (she) will answer you promptly.

In Cienfuegos and Santiago de Cuba, I highly recommend Shagotours; once again "Professional" guides - School Teachers, Lawyers, Accountants...you can pay them in US Dollars and/or CUCS - Average all in cost $65.00 for a 4/5 hour tour in a private 'old' car! www.shagotours.com

If you want to help with gifts, take Ibuprofen, Advil, and other 'over the counter' medicines- they have a hard time getting them and they are expensive for the average Cuban.
