on April 21, 2005I find them very expensive for what it was worth, for example Havanna trip with tropicana show was $129us per person, was not worth the money highly overrated.
Trip into Havanna I felt like sheep being moved here and there 10mins here 15 mins there hardly saw nothing, everything was on a shedule and we were rushed everywhere.
We heard from people in the hotel that the Catamoran was not good had to share snorkle gear with other people food sucked very cowrded with people all swimming in the same place as you $75us, MAKE SURE YOU ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS BEFORE BOOKING.
Most of the tours you can do them by yourself, like Havanna you can take a bus from downtown Varadero cost about $15 each way bus leaves at 8:00 a.m. and comes back at 4:00p.m. you will have more fun and at your own pace.Most stuff in varadero is in or around there so you can go with a group of people together grab a cab and see caves underground that cost $5us instead of $55us per person. you can snorkle for free in different places in varadero remember the ocean is free, you do not need to spend ridiculas amount of money. MOST THE THE TOURS THERE ARE ALL MARKETING TRICKS, KEEP THAT IN MIND , SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO VENTURING YOU WILL HAVE MORE FUN FOR THE BUCK!!! I PROMISE YOU THAT.
You are better off doing things with a group of people from the hotel all together than taking all these tours that all they are going to do for you is put a dent in your pocket, Rent a scooter , bike, walk or cab it where ever you want. Keep in mind that most of these tours are expensive and that you are on a time frame, HOW MUCH CAN YOU ENJOY WHEN YOU ARE RUNNING AROUND HERE AND THERE???
BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE YOU GUYS, ASK PEOPLE WHO DID THE TOUR , BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO DO IT AT YOU'RE OWN EXPENCE!!! THESE ARE MY TIPS OF WISEDOM TO YOU, SO USE THEM.
