Why Authentic Cuba Travel®
Cuba Educational Tours?

Authentic Cuba Travel® is offering for the 10th year in a row a new level of service for our loyal educators: the free pre-departure Cuba Explorer Tours.

We recognize that professors, teachers and educators may appreciate travelling to Cuba before taking their students –especially those who have not been to Cuba before. *1

That’s why, we have scheduled several familiarization educational Cuba tours for 2022 that are free for those educators who qualify.

Yes, you will travel for free! Authentic Cuba Tours will cover all your included Cuba study tour costs plus your return airfare via Miami, Toronto or Cancun.*2

Please, visit the following websites for all information on our Cuba Explorer Trips:

Authentic Cuba Travel® is able to take advantage of competitive discounts from our tour service providers in Cuba (Cuban hotels, receptive companies, restaurants, and others) in large part due to our reputation and the considerable experience of our Canadian and Cuban staff within the travel industry of Cuba. We pass those savings right along to the participants in our Cuba study tours for 2023 and 2024. We offer Cuba education tours that are hundreds less than they previously were, and hundreds less than our competitors who are offering similar cultural, educational, and nature Cuba tours.
The reputation, good relations, and experience of Authentic Cuba Travel® in the USA Cuba travel industry has enabled us to command extremely competitive discounted rates for groups with Cuban, Canadian, and North American airlines. Thanks to these discounts, we can lower the costs for our Cuba education tours for 2023 and 2024. Our Cuba study tours are priced hundreds of dollars less than the previous year, and hundreds less than our competitors who are offering similar Cuba tours in 2023 and 2024.
Your Cuba Travel wouldn’t be complete without exploring Cuba’s premier UNESCO World Heritage Sites. All Cuba tours by Authentic Cuba Travel® include visits to Cuban sites that are considered to be the most well preserved examples of Spanish historic cores within The Americas in the present day. We visit the Camaguey Historic Center and Old Havana, as well as the Cienfuegos and Trinidad Historic Cores among many others. All of our Cuba education tours are guided by well-trained university graduates from Cuba and are fully escorted.
Due to direct involvement by the cultural organizations and institutions of Cuba as well as conservations and environmentalist groups, colleges and universities, Cuban personalities, local Cuban tour companies, small communities, as well as other Cuban hosts in operating and designing our authentic Cuba tours, we are able to offer fully escorted nature, cultural, and education tours of Cuba that are unparalleled in their quality, variety, and the smoothness with which they run. In exchange, the majority of revenues from Authentic Cuba Travel® stay in Cuba to benefit each and every person and institution that has made it all possible in the first place. We are eternally grateful for everyone who has made our Cuba tours and programs the absolute best experience for our tour participants!
At Authentic Cuba Travel®, we understand that Cuba travel plans can change or require a delay, which is why we have established a fully transferable Lifetime Deposit. With this option, the Cuba traveler can be sure that if they must delay or cancel a Cuba trip, they can still have the opportunity to take a cultural or educational tour of Cuba the next time.

With a lifetime deposit, any of the participants in our Cuba tours who have been forced to delay their departure may retain the initial deposit to use at a later date. No additional charges and we don’t ask questions. This policy of Lifetime Deposits can mean that travelers can save the initial deposit (just one per tour per person) indefinitely, whether they decide to take the trip again in 10 years or 10 weeks.

Note, however, that in the case that Cuba travel cancellation takes place within 60 days or less before the day of departure, travelers will forfeit 50% of the payment for the ground tour, and if it is 30 days or less before the day of departure tour participants will forfeit 100% of the payment for the ground tour. Please do refer to the Terms and Conditions to be provided with more details.

As we understand that your preferences for travel to Cuba are subject to change with the passing of time, the Lifetime Deposit may be used for any Cuba escorted tours that we offer in the future, not just for the Cuba educational tour you originally booked. You may use the Lifetime Deposit in order to find a trip that you want to take as you plan for your next educational and cultural tour with us.

With this policy, the Lifetime Deposit is transferable as well. You may transfer the deposit to any other traveler for no extra charge!

This applies to the value of the “deposit” payment portion only. Any and all additional payment or final payments are subject to our Terms and Conditions. This is not redeemable in addition to any other discount, offer, or promotion.
When an industry is committed to sustainable tourism, it is committed to practices that make a small impact on local culture and the environment as well as helping generate employment for the people of the local area. A dedication to ensuring that development is ultimately a positive for the local people, the tourists, and the tour companies is sustainable tourism.

At Authentic Cuba Travel®, our itineraries and Cuba tours are designed to stay within the Cape Town Declaration on Responsible Tourism guidelines.

All of our Cuba education tours meet these considerations: Sustainable tourism means that participants in our escorted Cuba tours have the chance to enjoy a holiday while also respecting the culture, the people, and environment in the areas that they tour. Additionally, it means that the people have a say in the Cuba travel planning process and will get the majority of the funds generated from our tours to Cuba.
