My wife and I are interested in going to Cuba. However, we are American and my wife only wants to go if it is through a sanctioned tour operator...

Since tours from the US recently started operating again, does anyone have any recommendations as to which one we should go with? Currently, she is looking at Insight Cuba.

Thanks

I am considering the same. A reporter from the Detroit Free Press is on the first Insight Cuba tour under the new regs and is blogging about her experiences. Abercrombie and Kent offerred trips but then pulled them citing concern over the new regs. Please share any info you have on this tour operator and the legality of the travel.

Has anyone any experience using Insight Cuba? All the press I see is recent

Well, I'll let you guys know how Insight Cuba is in a few months. We booked a trip for December! So far, Insight Cuba has been very professional. They called us the following day to introduce themselves and mailed us a packet with plenty of information about the trip.

Good luck to you guys. It's ridiculous the hoops that you have to jump through to go legally... insane...

Cheers,

Have a great trip. We're looking to go to Cuba in 2012. I have their brochure. Would love to hear about your trip when you get back. My husband and I, middle aged American citizens, will be traveling from Miami where we live.

All the best, Louise

I'll be sure to post some reviews (and lots of photos) after we get back. In the mean time, do any of you want to join my wife and I in December?

I am booked with Insight Cuba for Oct 2011 and will post experience after. It is legal for us US citizens to go via IC. I do know that IC is an offshoot of Cross Cultural Solutions, and I have friends and family that have traveled successfully through that org.

I think that's a question you have to ask IC...
