ABOUT Authentic Cuba Travel®

OUR CORE VALUES

Bella Travel Group Ltd.

(Authentic Cuba Travel® | Cuba Pathfinder® | Hello Cuba Travel | Cuba Study Tours®) is a full service tour operator based in Toronto, Canada that organizes cultural, educational and festival tours for North American Academic Organizations (Universities, Colleges and Schools), North American Historic Preservation and Architecture Organizations; North American Cultural Organizations; North American Business Research Institutes and Organizations; Religious Organizations; and other Educational Institutions from the United States of America, Canada, and around the world.

Even though each year nearly 4 million tourists travel to Cuba, they hardly have the chance to get to know the authentic Cuba that lies beyond the confines of all-inclusive full-packed tourist resorts. Once back home, those travellers realize they have hardly “travelled” to Cuba. It might have been a nice and low cost package vacation from the cold weather, but they do not know much about Cuba’s culture and its people.

Authentic Cuba Travel® votes for a different kind of tourism for those travellers who demand more from their vacations. With over 70 fully escorted Cuba tours announced for 2024 & 2025, ranging from educational and cultural to arts and architecture and festivals and events, Authentic Cuba Travel® captures the Cuban identity that defines the island as a unique Caribbean nation.

Our mission is simple: we want tour participants to get to know the real Cuba and its people. The Authentic Cuba Travel® experience begins from the very moment you call to ask a question or book a tour. You will talk to tour directors who are fluent in Spanish and English that have lived and worked inside the Cuba travel industry for many years. Once in Cuba, our groups are escorted 24/7 by world-renown Cuban speakers and university graduated guides.

Thanks to the direct involvement of Cuban cultural and educational organizations; universities and colleges; environmentalists and conservationists institutions; local communities and others in the design and operation of their Cuba tours, the quality and variety of Authentic Cuba Travel® programs is unparalleled in the Cuba travel industry.

For Authentic Cuba Travel®, sustainable tourism is where tour participants can enjoy their holiday and at the same time respect the culture of people and the environment. It also means that local people get a fair say in the design of their itineraries and receive most of the money that their tours generate. Authentic Cuba Travel® itineraries are designed within the guidelines of Cape Town Declaration on Responsible Tourism.

Authentic Cuba Travel® staff has years of experience in the Cuba travel industry and with North American travellers. If you really want to visit the real Cuba, Authentic Cuba Travel® is without doubt a great alternative to “sun & beach” packages for those who demand more from their vacations.

This exciting tour was first class and everyone who was a member of this tour enjoyed themselves tremendously and have forever memories of a beautiful island, its friendly people and its culture.
