Magical Mexico & Cuba Tour with Flights

Tour overview

This vibrant tour uncovers the real Mexico and Cuba!

Starting in Mexico, this is your chance to tour the country’s National Palace and Palacio de Bellas Artes. Visit Casa Azul, the museum dedicated to the life of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, and explore the archaeological site of Teotihuacán, also known as the City of the Gods. Take a walking tour of Queretaro, renowned for its magnificent Spanish colonial architecture. Enjoy San Miguel Allende, whose history is intertwined with Mexican Independence. Travel via the lush farmlands of El Bajio to the silver mining town of Guanajuato. Of course, a deep dive into Mexican culture wouldn’t be complete with exploring Guadalajara, the quintessential Mexican city where tequila and Mariachi were born.

Next, fly from Mexico to Havana and engage in the lively culture, enthralling history and breathtaking beauty of this evocative and vibrant Caribbean island. Saunter down Trinidad’s cobble-stoned streets, discover Havana’s secrets through the windows of degenerate colonial buildings and let yourself move to the cool beat of Vinales. Pristine beaches, pirates, salsa and Che are all on the agenda on a tour that aims to constantly excite, enthuse and enlighten.

From the must-see sights of Mexico City to the many highlights of Havana, you will enjoy all that these great nations have to offer. The only difficult part of the tour is when it comes to an end and it’s time to say goodbye.
