IT IS STILL LEGAL TO TRAVEL TO CUBA!
In 2018 it is still legal for U.S. citizens, and others who reside in the U.S. to legally travel to Cuba under the same people to people category that gives anyone the option of visiting the island without having to fall under one of the other eleven authorized travel categories. As you can see traveling to Cuba is complicated, but at least it’s still legal in 2018! Americans may travel to Cuba if they fall under one of twelve authorized categories, but unless you’re going there as a journalist or part of a trade delegation, your best bet is to visit the island on a people to people tour. People to people is simply a bureaucratic name for a tour that requires participants to have a full schedule of activities in an attempt to learn as much as they possibly can about Cuban culture and history. You must be accompanied by a guide from the tour operator that plans your trip, and you must keep a copy of your travel records for five years in case you get a legal Cuba travel audit. The only difference between the Trump policy that was announced in November 2017 and the previous Obama policy is this requirement that American travelers be accompanied by a guide on the flight to Cuba.

To comply with the “full schedule of activities” requirement we have created the most unique and spellbinding tours and workshops that exist. We will show you the real Cuba, the one with long lines to get your eggs and bread, and the stores that run out of all kinds of things on a regular basis. Scarcity of many consumer goods is a reality of life on one of the world’s last communist outposts. Some of our workshops include Cuban Baseball, Jazz & Son, Classic Cars, Rumba, Resolviendo, Santeria, and many more. We are one of the few tour operators who can work a SCUBA diving adventure into your tour, and we are divers ourselves. Our religious tours will show you another side of Cuba, one in which you will be interacting with Cubans of your faith. Our religious tours include our Cuba’s Jewish Heritage Tour, Catholic Tour of Cuba, and our Afro-Cuban Religion Tour. We are your guide to Cuba!
