I had a wonderful trip, thanks in no small part to our guide Liban Diaz, who was informative, interesting, friendly and open to doing whatever he could to make our experience the best. I also loved visiting the film school and meeting Maria there (sorry don't have her last name). Very inspiring place. The size of our tour was perfect and our guide Liban was also helpful in arranging extra evening events - checking out Buena Vista Social Club and other lively and terrific musicians as well as finding some great restaurants.

Thanks for all of your help. Jack NyBlom, Camera Cinemas

We enjoyed our trip. The itinerary was planned well. All the connections and logistics all went very smoothly. Our guide was smart, organized, professional and delightful. We would recommend Authentic Cuba. Joan Cantor

We found Authentic Cuba Travel® to be wonderfully helpful, not only with the arrangements for the Film Festival tour, but for extra add-on arrangements, in our case a round trip flight between Havana and Santiago de Cuba. As for the tour itself, a week in the Hotel Nacional and a pass to the film festival add up to pure happiness.

Everything else was icing on the cake. And it was very well-planned icing, we thought – especially the trip to Vinales. The meals our group had together were great, and the advice and information (and stories about life in Cuba) that we got from LIban made the trip so interesting; we were really impressed with his candor and his breadth of knowledge.

Can’t wait until next year’s film festival! Kathy Kahn

We got back from our trip first of this week. Recovering from colds but well enough for feedback.

Thanks to you and Authentic Cuba Travel® for organizing one of the best trips we have taken in years (and I am sure all those who were part would say the same thing). We really enjoy ourselves, and the Group. The people you added on were great too. We all become friends on the trip.

First and foremost, our guide was the Best. Liban was fantastic. Very knowledgeable young man, with lots of energy and ability to please our group. He did a great job and is to be complimented. Use him for some of your other trips and guaranteed your clients will be happy and pleased.

Thanks again and although Liban took us to airport and checking stand, he forgot to give us his card. If you have his e-mail address, I would like to thank him personally. Could you send it along?

Thanks again, James Zuur

The trip was excellent. The only thing that could be improved was at the Miami airport going to Cuba.

There was a long line at the Sun Country desk. We stood in line for 20 minutes, then some friends, also on the trip, told us we were in the wrong line and needed to be at a smaller line with Cuba Travel. It would have been very helpful, if your agent from Cuba Travel would have held a sign and walked past our long line saying "if any one in this line is with Cuba Travel, please come to this other line". We would not have known to go in the correct line if it wasn't for our friends that were ahead of us.

Other than that, the trip was wonderful. Alice Lopes
