Tipping

If you are happy with the services provided by your local guides a tip — though not compulsory — is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it is of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry across many Intrepid Urban Adventures destinations. Please consider this when budgeting for your extra expenses on this tour.

Closure

All stops are subject to change due to the ever-evolving situation of private businesses in Cuba. If any stop is not available, it will be substituted by a similar and equally awesome vendor. Slight detours may be necessary.
