Marissa arranged a cooking class for our group. It was amazing, the highlight of our trip. It was a blend of conversation that helped us learn about the culture, the current situation and of course, about the food. Next trip I want to spend more time with Mari and go on more of her tours. She is easily reached via email. Cuba is amazing... Go now! …

Marissa's tour was the most memorable part of our trip to Cuba. Not only does she show you the real Cuba she does it with such passion. Spending the day with her in the beautiful region of Vinales is something i will never forget and the meal with her family was the best thing I ate while in Cuba (oh the sweet potatoes). Its a amazing experience with an amazing lady.…

After coming across Marissa's Instagram account a few months before our trip to Cuba, my best friend and I decided to book the Vinales day trip in Pinar Del Rio, as we loved idea of finding out more about the region on a more authentic tour. It was the absolute highlight of our trip to Cuba! From breakfast with THE MOST AMAZING view on Vinales Valley, to horse riding for the very first time, followed by a visit to a tobacco farm, quick visit to a cave and wrapping up having a delicious meal with Mari's family in the countryside, it was an absolute eye opener. Mari was extremely thoughtful, friendly and informative and all of her friends and family that we met along the way were gracious and welcoming. We chatted about everything from politics to family and it turned out that my friend and I were actually the first Brits to do the tour, so we obviously felt even more special. Ahead of our visit to Cuba, Mari was really communicative via email. We arranged to pay the deposit (without having met previously, this was a little worrying, but it was all absolutely fine) and we were even sent a handy welcome pack just before we left the UK. The cost of the tour is a little higher than some of the other ones we looked up online, but was absolutely worth it and I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering doing something away from the hotel and resorts while visiting Cuba.…

Mari and team know how to plan you trip and engage you in a manner that makes you see Cuba up close and personal. Great attention to detail. We had a great time!

Words, in English or Spanish, fail to sum up Mari and all that she's working hard to accomplish in Cuba. She's a thoughtful, considerate person who provides a different lens through which to see the country. The experiences she offers aren't just "off the beaten path," but truly unique. For the conscious, intentional traveler there's no better choice. We enjoyed a full day to visit Vinales and Pinar del Rio and wish we would have booked our entire time in Cuba with her. I can't recommend her highly enough. She's easily inspired me to begin planning another trip to Cuba. Whatever you're looking for in Cuba, Mari will deliver.…
