Excellent service
Excellent service. Terrific guide who was very reliable and smart. Also extremely helpful. Our driver was also very kind.
Cuba tour was an incredible experience
Cuba tour was an incredible experience. The guides, both Yilian for my group of 5 and Sandy for the other group we overlapped with were 5Star plus! The apartment worked very well for room and breakfast. Tours of Havana and Las Terrazes were highlights.
The New Years eve restaurant was disappointing, both food and service.
Transportation was well organized although for 5 people plus driver and guide the Toyoto Land Cruiser was no fun for the back row, mainly my son and me.
I highly recommend this trip for all Americans.

Our trip to Cuba thru Espirit Travel…
Our trip to Cuba thru Espirit Travel was magical. I admit I was concerned that there had only been 3 reviews to consider, but we took a leap of faith after contacting one of the reviewers, and I'm so glad we did. Karin was organized, knowledgeable, timely and every detail was attended to in a manner that left us feeling comfortable and secure in our travels. And our private guide, Carlos, was knowledgeable, helpful, reliable, and trustworthy. Highly recommend!

CUBA on my mind: plotting to return!
We are two female California travellers just returned from a terrific week in Cuba thanks to Karin, Espiritu Travel, and Karin’s team on the ground, including extremely accomplished local guides.
Our activity packed week with car and driver /guide Carlos Gonzalez, the best) went offwithout a hitch.. We were moved by the friendliness of the people and the unexpected sights of this lovely island. Also astonished at the ease of obtaining a visa (with our boarding pass at the airline counter at JFK) for US citizens. Go visit! And fast...
hello Cuba
We took your guided tour of Havana and the countryside in December 2019. We had a wonderful time on the tour. Both Darien and David were extremely knowledgeable,hospitable and flexible. They went out of their way to make sure that our experience in Cuba was exceptional and provided us with memories for a lifetime. We would highly recommend Espiritu tours and both Darien and David. Thank you for making our time in Cuba memorable. Tom LaGrotta
Wow! Fabulous time in Cuba!! Many thanks to Darien, David and all the other wonderful people they introduced us to. We really came home feeling as though we got to know Cuba and its people.
Please share our email addresses with Darian and David as we would like to connect with them. Merry Christmas and a happy new year! Susan LaGrotta
Loving Espiritu
My travel companions and I have used Espiritu for several trips in the past couple of years. We have been overwhelmed by the level of service, and reliability of service they have provided. The cost is more than competitive for what we requested which is always a trip that encompasses our wishes with plenty of time for self-exploring but is also tailor-made. I would not hesitate to recommend Espiritu for a unique travel experience.
Second Trip with Espiritu Travel
This is the second time that I've had a trip coordinated through Espiritu Travel and couldn't be more pleased. The lodgings were superb as were the guides. I plan to take many more trips with Espiritu.
My experience in choosing Espiritu…
My experience in choosing Espiritu Travel continues to prove itself to be an outstanding selection in all aspects in Cuba as a incredible travel destination
Uncovering Cuba
Our 9 day/8 night trip to Cuba was a fascinating experience where we met lovely people, ate delicious food, saw the cities, beach and countryside, and learned about the art, culture and history with an excellent tour guide, Mario. The problem is the sanitation which resulted in all four us returning from Cuba with traveler's diarrhea including nausea and exhaustion.
Spain - Our Trip of a Lifetime
Great from start thru finish. Creative pre-trip planning and suggestions based on our likes/dislikes, strong attention to detail and everything worked as planned. Karin arranged all the hotels, rental car, and local guides throughout Spain. Can't say enough about the local guides that Karin at Espiritu arranged for us in Toledo, Seville, and Cacares. Each guide as born, raised and still resides in their hometown. Each brought an individuality to the tour, was patient with our questions and had great pride in their community.
Karin Eckhard was very responsive and…
Karin Eckhard was very responsive and patient throughout our process of deciding what services we needed from Espiritu Travel for our trip to Porto, Lisbon, Sevilla and Granada and points in between. She provided transfer and guide services for sections of a three week trip. We are a group of six who have done four European trips together, booking, driving and guiding ourselves which saves money, but we all were very pleased by how Espiritu's advice and services enhanced our travels.
Karin is unbelievable
Karin is unbelievable. Responsive and understandning. Undoubtedly, will use her services.

Our tour guide was amazing great guy. Very happy with experience. I can say we saw Cuba in the best way
Great trip to Portugal
Espíritu Travel made our trip to Portugal a breeze. We were booked into lovely hotels in convenient locations and enjoyed walking tours in several cities with friendly and informative guides. The trip planner app they use was user-friendly and a helpful reference throughout our trip.
Great Agency!!!
Karin was just great. She planned the best trip ever and help us get the most of Portugal in just 1 week. All the hotels, tours and transfers were perfect. She was always available and proactive while we were there.
We strongly recommend this agency!! You wont have any problems with them and you'll appreciate all of their suggestions
Cuba 4/27/19 with Espiritu
Our trip to Cuba in late April, 2019 was extremely well-planned and well thought out. Our tour guide, Santy, and driver, Ori, were always considerate and helpful, and always looking out for our interests. The four of us in the group became close to Santy and met his extended family. He was able to share with us his experiences living in the beautiful country of Cuba. His English is excellent and he's eager to learn English nuances and idioms. He is bright, personable and knowledgeable. He takes his responsibility as a guide very seriously and he and Ori were both extraordinary. Our trip was memorable and once-in-a-lifetime because of their professionalism and warmth. Our most sincere thanks to both of them!
Life altering trip! An absolute MUST...
Once you visit Cuba you will understand when I say, “One cannot describe Cuba, you have to experience it for yourself.” I will do my best to honor Cuba, it’s people and Espiritu Travel with my recommendation. I have nothing buy praise. Our guide Santy was the most knowledgeable, articulate, charismatic, enthusiastic tour guide one could ever hope for. I believe it was because of him that we got to experience as much as we did. He went above and beyond!
Our accommodations were perfect; safe, clean and the lady of the house was so hospitable. Our transportation (a minivan because we were 4 travelers plus our guide Santy and our driver Ore) was clean, reliable, had AC, and was punctual for everything. I was a solo traveler and met 3 outstanding travel mates who are now friends. We became a family on this trip and are already planning our return to Cuba for a more extensive 8 day tour.
The sites, sounds, tastes and people of Cuba are not to be missed. Cuba is a country rich in history, architecture, music, dance, agriculture and so much more. Visit with an open mind and open heart and you will receive an incredible life altering gift in return.
Buen Viaje!
An amazing experience
An amazing experience. Very enjoyable and would book with Espíritu Travel again.
