Probably you have been searching for some cheap Cuba holiday options already and you have not been very lucky. I intend to give you some tips on how to safe money before you book you package holidays to Cuba.
One of the most expensive parts of your holidays in Cuba is definitely the transfers and almost all tour operators will include taxi transfers in their packages Taxis as you can appreciate are the most comfortable but also the most expensive way of touring around Cuba.
My advice is to just ask for flights and accommodation from your agent and you will see what I mean. That will knock down few hundreds from your quotes including taxi transfers to/from each location in your itinerary. Now is time to introduce you to VIAZUL.
For the sake of comparing let’s take for instance a taxi transfer from Havana to Trinidad. This is a common combination that most tailor made tour operators use on their packages. A taxi from Havana to Trinidad costs around 150 GBP or 200 CUC and a ticket with Viazul cost just 25 CUC.
As you can appreciate the difference is huge. When you want to visit places like Havana, Pinar del Rio, Cienfuegos, Trinidad or Santiago de Cuba only in taxi transfers you could be paying well over 800 CUC. Viazul will safe you around 80 % of that amount.
The coaches are very comfortable and come in different sizes. They are normally equipped with TV, WC, air conditioning and even catering for the longer journeys.
Maybe you are one of those thinking of travelling around Cuba but don’t have a clue about distances and how large Cuba really is. When you look at the Mapa Mundi this island looks small compared to America but it actually stretches for more than 1200 Km from east to west.
Of course a taxi is more comfortable and if you decide to go for this option then you will just have to wait at the lobby of your hotel to be taken to the next one. But be ready to fork out a good lump of money for your holidays
