A note from Eli Arroyo

As a Cuban-American, I grew up in a family and city that instilled in me a deep sense of heritage.  Throughout my life, my family and friends who immigrated to the United States from Cuba, vividly shared their memories about the country they loved so deeply.  Growing up in Miami was a constant reminder of Cuba; the men smoking cigars and playing dominoes in tank tops, the food, the coffee, the music, and the dancing are all living testaments to the Cuban culture that has infused my life.

Early on, I developed an intense desire to experience Cuba firsthand.  Riding the wake of a changing political climate, in 2010 I booked a trip to the island and I fell head-over-heels in love with it.  After my experience in Cuba I knew that the land and the people that I met there were destined to be a part of my life.  Thus, I launched YOUR CUBA TRAVEL to share my passion with others.

"Cuba is stunningly beautiful, delicious, and mysterious."

You can read in the blog about what Cuba and the country’s people are like, but you must experience it first-hand.  In an interview before the Tampa Bay Ray’s baseball exhibition in Havana (March 22, 2016), the Ray’s starting pitcher Chris Archer said it best, “this trip has changed me forever.”  This is the effect that visiting Cuba had on my family and I, in addition to most other’s that I have taken there.  Are you ready to experience Cuba?

The Team

"Our trip to Cuba was a once in a lifetime trip! Eli and Your Cuba Travel went above and beyond to make sure we had a unique and memorable experience. It was so nice not to have to worry about a single thing - every last detail was thought of and taken care of for us. We will definitely use Your Cuba Travel for our next trip to Cuba!"

- ML Picatti

My only complaint about Your Cuba Travel is that they only operate in Cuba. Expand to other places please! If you're looking to experience the real Cuba, there is no better option than Your Cuba Travel. I'd go with them again in a heartbeat. - Tony Monaco

"We used Your Cuba Travel last year to visit Havana and the surrounding beach resort area. My husband and I went with a small group of people and had such an amazing experience. In addition to visiting the Old Havana city and famous hotels and sites, we were also able to get a real "Cuba" experience by going to beach areas, restaurants, and shops that are completely non-touristy and locally operated! All the arrangements were made hassle-free for us, and we had complete freedom to do whatever we felt like. I cannot wait to go back!"

"I can honestly say that the trip would not be nearly as memorable if it wasn’t for Jordan. He was consistently ensuring that we were comfortable, well fed and getting the local and personal experience that you ensured us we would. His constant translation between us and Wilfredo (aka Jail) must have been exhausting, but he did it from the time we woke up until we passed out at night. We had so many laughs that will last us a lifetime and again, we owe it to Jordan." 
 
"Additionally, it’s important for me to relay how impressed I was with the professionalism of Wilfredo.  He too made sure that we were getting a great experience and proactively provided facts about the country, people and his personal life. Not a day went by that Wilfredo wasn’t practicing his English with us and that just goes to show that he was doing whatever he could to make sure we were comfortable. By the end of the trip I swear he was fluent in English."
 
"I look forward to seeing you both again in Cuba very soon."

"I recently went on a trip to Cuba with the help of Your Cuba Travel and it was everything I could have hoped for and more! From the ease of planning (all handled by Your Cuba Travel) to the hotel, restaurants, and cultural experiences once we arrived. I never wanted to leave! We stayed both in Havana and the surrounding beach communities (a mere few steps from the sand!) and loved it as it allowed us to see and experience more of the island. They also made traveling with a large party seamless and were always available if we ever needed them - talk about peace of mind. Thank you for a trip of a lifetime - I'm already dreaming of the next one!"

"Your Cuba Travel was invaluable in the planning of our trip to Cuba last summer. They were so accommodating to our needs and helped us make some truly unforgettable memories. The guides were beyond helpful and so much fun to spend time with; they truly helped make our experience special. I feel that Elizabeth really helped us have an authentic Cuban experience and am definitely planning on using Your Cuba Travel for future trips to Cuba."
