Our tour in Cuba showcases the very best of Cuba, including colonial cities, cultural immersion, and historical insights. We visit three of Cuba’s most beautiful cities. The capital city of Havana is filled with remarkable architecture and great cultural activities. In Cienfuegos you’ll see the French influence in its buildings, while Trinidad’s colonial charm will leave a lasting impression.
Costa Rica is an exotic country, which offers a great variety of nature; on our tour we visit the north plains where the impressive Arenal Volcano will welcome us with its majestic, almost perfect volcanic cone. We also visit Monteverde, a paradise for nature lovers; the cloud forest offers a unique experience.
In Panama we explore Casco Viego, the historic district of Panama City; walking through the old city compound, a UNESCO World Heritage Site dating back to the late 1600s. We experience a partial transit of the Panama Canal on a relaxing northbound cruise; passing through the Culebra Cut, the Pedro Miguel Locks, and the engineering marvel of the Miraflores Locks.

Mandy was great. I don’t know how she manages to juggle so much and still appear relaxed and in control. She more than “adequately met my expectations”
Mandy was excellent, her friendly outgoing disposition made it very easy to approach her. She went beyond her tour of duty as she always made herself available at all times. She was always well organised and totally prepared which made our journey so much more relaxing and enjoyable!
Mandy demonstrated outstanding leadership, knowledge, care and consistancy, throughout the complexities and challenges, of our entire tour experience.
