Is air fare included?
No, but Teachers' Travel would be happy to help you arrange air
tickets on Air Canada.
How is the food? We
have been running this tour for four years and have found that most
people are pleasantly surprised with Cuban food. Most nights we
eat in the hotel dining rooms and one night we go to a "paladar" which is a
private-enterprise restaurant. In the hotels the dinners are usually
buffets with a large selection.
How difficult is the walking? Most days the walking is easy
and in Vinales Region there is a choice between easy and more
challenging walks.
What documentation do I need? If you are Canadian you need
a valid passport. The airline will give you a tourist card on board your
plane (no charge).
How much money will I need and how do I get it? There is
not much to spend money on in Cuba. You will need a small amount
for bottled water, a few lunches, one dinner, drinks. You
can change Canadian dollars into CUC (Cuban Convertilble Peso).
Each CUC is valued the same as a US dollar but US currency is not
accepted. There are ATM machines at banks where you can get cash
or hotels will change money for you. Cuban currency is not available in
Canada,
Tipping - tips to the bus driver and the guides are included.
If you want to leave something for hotel staff it is greatly
appreciated.
Can I use credit cards? Visa is accepted in hotels.
American Express is not accepted. Mastercard sometimes works but
not always. Debit cards are not accepted.
