The most curated, legal, and most engaging way to visit Cuba
This new 2025 Cuba trip is going to be a FANTASTIC ITINERARY! Travel with Complete Cuba to Havana, Hershey, Vinales and points in between. There is no better itinerary to explore parts of Cuba in an in depth way and not just the tourist track.
As always, our small group experience in Cuba will take curious travelers and photographers well beyond the tourist trail of Havana. Travel to Havana, Vinales, Hershey, and visit places travelers typically don't get to experience. You’ll have the time to immerse yourself in all that Cuba has to offer.
Join Complete Cuba for a well-researched and truly unique travel adventure beyond the cliches. You will leave with memories, experiences, and photographs you simply can't have on your own. (Many of which we don't advertise so as to keep them exclusive and ensure your trip is as vibrant and exciting as Cuba itself!)
This trip is truly an excellent adventure, including airport transfers; seven nights of hotel/casa accommodations; the services of an English-speaking Cuban guide; two American guides; private, air-conditioned transportation to included activities within Cuba; special photography opportunities; nearly all meals; your visa; necessary documentation; and much more.
We offer photography training as part of our program and will be partnering with Tamarkin Camera, Chicago, IL. This will afford you further photographic instruction along with the opportunity to borrow photographic equipment as available. While the trip isn’t solely focused on photography, we guarantee you will come home with great photographs and you can have Dan Tamarkin or Keith Sbiral help you with photographic based questions at any time throughout the trip. No fancy camera needed, our travelers travel with everything from an iPhone to the highest end cameras, to the most basic film cameras.
Solo travelers are always welcome in our group trips; Approximately half of our guests are solo travelers. (For the few meals not included, we arrange group reservations so solo travelers only dine alone if they want.)
In addition to boutique travel experiences offered by Complete Cuba, this trip will offer specific amenities not available elsewhere, including optional activities and photo opportunities taking into account the results of a pre-trip survey of the trip participants. As our past travelers can attest, we make every effort to customize these trips to ensure you have a great experience.
