Osmin, our Cuban escort guide, was a wonderful person to accompany us- so open and giving of his time. He really made the trip a much more meaningful experience. I thought that all the guides were good in their own ways- including Antonio who did much more than birds- which I found refreshing. Great choices!.

I loved the day in Havana and would have chosen to extend if I could have. Seeing so much of the country was wonderful. Happening upon the sugarcane harvest was wonderful. I am glad we got to see the main birds we hoped to see- but the birding itself was the least important part of the trip. Another highlight was our last night together- we could not have been in a better place (Chez...)- great meal, fun waitstaff, great company. Well done!

I think it was very well planned as a birding trip- I just wish it could have been bigger in scope, but that would have meant more time. I would have liked more music, more art, more theatre, and a chance to sit and watch and take more pictures of real people. Considering it was a tour and that is something we never do- we missed some of the independent traveller habits. But you can't have it all. Thanks so much for all the planning and help in getting us to this wonderful place!

Above all I learned so much from this trip and I haven't stopped talking about it since- my friends are getting a little tired of it. It was a wonderful adventure and our fellow travellers were wonderful companions. Thanks to all for the hard work! Ralph Van Dusseldorp

Thank you all for a great trip- you were all a big part of making it enjoyable. It was a great experience from first contact with Bernie and Yane in Canada to the end. Bob Kortright

The guides were enthusiastic, passionate, knowledgeable, and made our tour very interesting and enjoyable. I especially enjoyed touring Havana City and Trinidad.

One thing I will always remember is watching the kids either walking to school or participating in classroom activities.

I am not a very passionate birder however to be able to spot and view some of Cuba's most unique birds was an experience I will never forget.

Lastly I enjoyed spending time with some truly wonderful people and sharing my experience with them!! Thanks!!!!! Debbie Solymar
