In this expose you will find some information on how to go about seeking cheap Holidays to Cuba . Cuba has turned into a very costly tourist destination in last decade but there are ways around to find an economical option.
When you contact a tour operator for a quote and your itinerary is including various locations they will simply use taxis to move you from A to B simply because there are no other options available that they can book make money from it.
There is a way to safe hundreds of dollars. Allow me to introduce you to Viazul. Viazul is a coach company that has terminal in most of the Cuban locations that are worth seeing in your holidays to Cuba.
So let?s put some examples here so that you can appreciate the difference in price. Let?s say you ask your tour operator for a package including Havana and Trinidad. That simple request will add around 150 GBP to your package. Instead what I recommend is to ask for flights and accommodation only and then book separately a ticket from Havana to Trinidad which will cost you 20 GBP.
I hope you can appreciate how ridiculous the difference in price is. Now think how much you could safe if you were to go all around the island using this advice. You could be saving hundreds on pounds.
Viazul offers service of transportation among several cities of Cuba. This company offers a punctual service and of good quality, is a good option for those that desire to visit several cities and to save in the transportation.
One common mistake most people do is not to read about the destinations they are thinking of visiting before hands. Distances in Cuba are quite long. I could take you up to 6 hours from Havana to Trinidad by Taxi.
While it is true that a Taxi will be the most comfortable way. Viazul is the next best thing. But in terms of prices nothing beats Viazul.
