UNIQUE
Our team of professionals has more than 15 years of experience in providing Cuba-related advice and in arranging specialized trips, organizing meetings, coordinating film & photography sessions, organizing sports-related events and competitions to take place in Cuba.
Our goal is to provide the experience that our guests expect to have in Cuba while engaging in a unique and meaningful travel experience. We will introduce our guests to the Real Cuba which will allow them to go back home with a better understanding of the complexity of the Cuban reality but also with the powerful memories of the Cuban music, rhythm, colors, streets noise and tasteful cuisine.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
CAP’S TOURS believes that Cuba is much more than the closest “communist” country to the USA. It is a country of passionate, hard-working, entrepreneurial, resourceful, creative, helpful and fun people. We believe that the future of Cuba is tied to the United States and to people in the USA who understand Cuba’s unique situation at present and, as importantly, understand the history that has led to this present.
