Me sorprendio porque fuimos 3 personas en coche antiguo, muy buena experiencia. El guia super amable, nos explicaba, muy amable y el tour es rapido pero si permite conocer Varadero! Translate this opinion into English.

I was surprised because there were three of us in a vintage car, but it was a great experience. The guide was super friendly and explained everything clearly. The tour was quick but still allowed us to see Varadero! Opinion translated. Show original.

La excursión ha estado genial. La playa es preciosa y nuestro guía, Orlando, fue un encanto, nos explico cosas interesantes durante todo el viaje y fue super amable. Recomendamos comer en el centro comercial de Varadero que tiene precios super baratos y buenísima calidad, ya que hay muchos restaurantes por la zona de camino que están subidisimos de precio como para ir a la aventura. Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion has been great. The beach is beautiful and our guide, Orlando, was lovely, he explained interesting things to us throughout the trip and was super friendly. We recommend eating in the Varadero shopping center, which has super cheap prices and great quality, since there are many restaurants in the area along the way that are too high in price to go on an adventure.

O passeio foi bom. a guia Lourdes e o motorista foram gentis e pontuais. So acho que o ponto de parada em Varadero poderia ter sido melhor. O local escolhido fica distante da melhor parte da cidade, sem muitas opções de restaurantes . acho que deveriam primeiramente percorrer a cidade para se ter uma visão geral e depois deixar os passageiros no local que acharem que serão melhor atendidos. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was good. The guide, Lourdes, and the driver were kind and punctual. I just think the stop in Varadero could have been better. The chosen location is far from the best part of the city, without many restaurant options. I think they should first tour the city to get an overview and then drop the passengers off at the place they think will be best served. Opinion translated. Show original.

Il driver si è presentato puntualissimo sotto al punto di ritrovo, ed è stato cordiale e piacevole. Abbiamo fatto il tour per come previsto; per quanto la giornata non fosse proprio limpida, siamo riusciti a fare un bagno nella splendida grotta di Saturno e anche nel bellissimo mare di Varadero. Unica specificità: le 5 ore di tempo libero a Varadero iniziano nel momento in cui il driver vi lascia nel punto da lui indicato per il ritiro. Arrivando alle 10.30, siamo infatti andati via alle 15.30. Translate this opinion into English.

The driver showed up right on time at the meeting point and was friendly and pleasant. We completed the tour as planned; although the day wasn't exactly clear, we managed to swim in the stunning Saturn Cave and the beautiful sea off Varadero. The only caveat: the 5 hours of free time in Varadero begins when the driver drops you off at the designated pickup point. Arriving at 10:30 AM, we left at 3:30 PM. Opinion translated.

Daniel et Robny ont été très attentionnés. la description correspond bien à l’excursion. la météo prévue était nuage et vent mais nous avons finalement eu du soleil. la baignade dans la grotte est originale et l’eau pas trop froide Robny nous a conseillé le restaurant puis farniente sur la plage et baignade je recommande Translate this opinion into English.

Daniel and Robny were very attentive. The description accurately reflects the excursion. The forecast was for clouds and wind, but we ended up with sunshine. Swimming in the cave is a unique experience, and the water wasn't too cold. Robny recommended a restaurant, and then we relaxed on the beach and swam. I highly recommend it. Opinion translated.

Nos encantó. La piña colada era una maravilla y bañarnos en el cenote en cueva Saturno. Recomiendo llevar escarpines para disfrutarlo mejor. Una lástima que fueran 30 minutos más o menos pero entendible para poder estar un poco más en la playa que es fantástica. Translate this opinion into English.

We loved it. The piña colada was wonderful, and we went swimming in the cenote at Cueva Saturno. I recommend bringing water shoes to enjoy it more. It's a shame it was only 30 minutes or so, but it's understandable so we could spend a little more time on the beach, which is fantastic. Opinion translated. Show original.

Aurora was a great guide and we had a wonderful day. The swimming in the cave was superb. It’s warmer than you think. The driver looked after our every need especially keeping the mini Bus nice and cool. Varadero is a great venue to visit. We bought coffees for 35Cup and mojitos for 200 Cup each. An experience not to be missed. Thank you Civitatis.

El lugar está increíble. El guía trató de hacer el viaje lo más ameno posible, aunque su interacción fue limitada por la naturaleza de la excursión, pero al menos el camino en carretera nos entretuvo con su plática y conocimiento. Muchas felicidades! Translate this opinion into English.

The place is amazing. The guide tried to make the trip as pleasant as possible, although his interaction was limited by the nature of the excursion, but at least the road trip entertained us with his conversation and knowledge. Congratulations! Opinion translated. Show original.

A fun trip to go on! I had an amazing tour guide, who was very knowledgeable and gave me an incredible insight into the daily lives of Cuban people. The lookout bridge and pina colada was a special way to see Cuban infrastructure, and the drink was absolutely delicious! A trip to the saturno cave was eye-opening, plus I got to experience a rare sighting of Cuba’s national bird. The beautiful Varadero beach speaks for itself. Thank you guys for an unforgettable day, all the best to you!

Pretty nice day relaxing on the beach in Varadero. The 2 activities before arriving to the beach were a bit lackluster when compared to the Viñales trip we did a few days earlier. One big issue was that the voucher stated that pick-up was at 07.30 and we should be ready 15 mins before that. We had to adhere to that although somewere else it said that Old Havana pick-ups were around 08.00. In the event, we got picked up at 08.35 after waiting since 07.15. Not happy about that at all !

El tour cumple Con su función , llevarte y traerte a varadero, el chico t va explicando en el camino un poco de lo q vas viendo , las paradas a el mirador y el Cenote , muy bonitas , en varadero nos a tocado un día lluvioso , así q no pudimos disfrutar mucho la playa. En general cumple su función. Ir y regresar. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour does its job, taking you to and from Varadero. The guy explains a little about what you see along the way. The stops at the lookout and the Cenote are very nice. In Varadero we had a rainy day, so we couldn't really enjoy the beach. In general, it does its job. Go and come back. Opinion translated. Show original.

Aunque no lo supieran, hicieron de mi cumpleaños un día estupendo!!! Le estoy agradecida por la dedicación que le pone, se nota que ama lo que hace! Translate this opinion into English.

Awesome excursion to take if you’re staying in Havana and want to get out of the city and experience something different. We really enjoyed swimming in the Saturno caves and at the beach in Varadero. Driving through the providences was also wonderful; seeing the Cuban countryside. Highly recommend for a day trip during your visit to Cuba.

I did three tours with them, and everything was well-organized. The guides and drivers were knowledgeable and helpful, especially since I don't speak Spanish. Highly recommended if you're short on time in Havana—these tours help you save time and see everything!

El viaje inició puntual, me recogieron en mi hospedaje y salimos en una van espaciosa hacia Varadero. Paramos en un mirador y un Cenote increíble. La playa en Varadero estaba lindísima. Fue un buen día. Lo único que recomiendo mejorar es que el baño del lugar donde nos quedamos en la playa no estaba muy limpio! Translate this opinion into English.

The trip started on time, they picked me up at my accommodation and we left in a spacious van towards Varadero. We stopped at a viewpoint and an incredible Cenote. The beach in Varadero was beautiful. It was a good day. The only thing I recommend improving is that the bathroom in the place where we stayed on the beach was not very clean! Opinion translated.

Our guide Lourdes was phenomenal. She took great care of us, and showed us a really good time on our way to the beach. When we arrived, she helped us get set up and gave us several options on where to eat. Very honest and genuine. Our favorite part of the trip!
