What Travelers Are Saying

  • "My husband and I traveled to Cuba with a mixed group made up of several of our friends and a group of friends from Boston. We had a blast. We all got along so well, and the trip was curated so beautifully. We had most stimulating conversations each evening about the sites we had visited during the day and the people we had met. This was my first time on a tour, and it whetted my appetite for more. We learned and experienced so much more than we would have if we went on our own. Thank you CCJ."

    Peggy, Cuba

  • “I had a beautiful trip. I loved everything about it. The only criticism I have is to not make the schedule so tight because of unexpected events. Other then that it was fantastic.”

    Donna for SFJazz New Orleans, LA, USA

  • “I have been to Cuba twice with CCJ, and each time had a fantastic trip. I learned so much about the country, its citizens, its history, its arts and architecture and its problems. Our guides were very knowledgeable and attentive. Definitely five stars.”

    Bill, Cuba

  • “Fantastic experiences both as a traveler and trip host having traveled twice to Cuba with Cross Cultural Journeys. The detailed itineraries are fantastic with interests for everyone, and the Cuban guides could not be any better. Very engaging, extremely knowledgable and fun! Dining selections have all been terrific with over-the-top amount of food. Beautiful country and people who are warm and welcoming. Cross Cultural Journeys has the experience to create a most memorable trip for you too!”

    Eric, Cuba

  • "I have traveled with Cross Cultural Journeys to Cuba, twice, and to the Outer Hebrides - all 3 trips have been extraordinary and not 'just another tour' - great connections with the people of each country, insight into their arts and cultural lives, unique experience beyond the tour bus."

    Robert, Outer Hebrides, Scotland

  • "Incredible opportunity, itinerary, local guides and exposure to so much beyond Havana. Highly recommend. An experience not to be missed."

    Shelley, Cuba

  • "Life-changing experience!"

    Joe, Cuba

  • "When you travel with Cross Cultural Journeys, not only is every detail attended to, they have all the best local connections with access to the venues only locals typically can access. The cultural riches you will rub elbows with will astound and amaze you! Even with a meticulously planned itinerary, if they can find a way to add delightful surprises and unexpected activities that will further enhance your cultural understanding/awareness, they aren't afraid to add the flavor and spice to make the trip exceed your expectations!"

    Grace, Cuba

  • "Working with CCJ is a delight, and GREAT TO WORK WITH !!!...everything planned worked out...plus some! They know what they are doing and made our trip painless and fun."
