By Mauricio Maurette

In a country so large and with so much to offer the best way to get to know it is by doing a tour around the island. In few days you will learn almost everything you need to know about its culture, architecture, religion and way of life in general.

Many options are available if you are looking to do a tour of Cuba. If you like architecture there are specialized tours on this theme or if you want a bit of everything it is very easy to find some of the tours around Cuba that have been already designed for this purpose. In any case a tour can be designed to suit your particular demands.

Some of this escorted tours last from 7 to 10 days it is bit hectic and definitely a learning experience. After this you can always combine 3 or more nights on a nice and relaxing beach location in Cuba. There are some tours that have been offered for years now among which The pearl of the Caribbean, The Cradle of the Revolution and the Tour of the West are the most popular ones.

Tour guides in Cuba are probably the most connoisseurs of this amazing Caribbean island. They are requested to be graduated form University and have to go to special courses to be trained to be professional tour guides. For not to mention that so far in Cuba only tour guides are allowed to stay in hotels and travel the island with tourist. So definitely are the tour guides who know more about Cuba.

To use an example let us look at the Peal of the Caribbean Tour. This tour is focus on the western part of Cuba and visits 4 of the most interesting cities in Cuba, Trinidad, Cienfuegos, Havana and Pinar del Rio. It is a culture oriented tour and it last 6 nights with 7 days.

To look at another example lets take the Cradle of the Revolution. This tour is concentrated in the east part of the island. It is mainly devoted to the history of the Cuban revolution led by Castro. It last 4 nights and is perfect for those interested in the subject and looking to do some relaxing in a beach at the end of the tour in the beautiful Guardalavaca area.

I personally recommend these tours when you do not have much time allocated to your holidays and want to make the most of it without having to spend thousands. An escorted tour is definitely the most economic way to get to know Cuba. Tours can cost from 500.00 to 1000.00 pounds depending on duration, theme and whether it is private or collective. - 31819
