My wife, Renate, and I have completed our 3rd trip to Cuba with PlazaCUBA….it just gets better each and every time!! Whether it’s for dance, music or just seeing the country, Alisa, Mela, Donald, and Deborah go the extra mile to ensure everyone gets the most out of their experience. We never had to worry about any issue — everything is so very well planned — all you need to do is just show up! There might be less expensive options to travel and see Cuba but with PlazaCUBA, it’s worth every cent…AND MORE! For a worry-free, enriching experience and AWESOME TIME in Cuba, travel with PlazaCUBA!!

The Plaza Cuba excursion was brilliantly organized and executed. I could not have dreamed of a better experience. It was a week of non-stop absorption in dance and music–absolutely jam-packed! Plaza Cuba seems totally plugged into the best of Cuban music and dance. This is not something you could ever set up on your own. I cannot wait to go back!

I have been playing music since the age of ten, and this was by far the best music experience of my life! I highly recommend anyone who is interested in learning/studying latin music to come and get swept away by the rhythms of Cuba.
