5 Additinal Itinerary Ntes It is an exciting time in Cuba with rapidly changing legislatin and lcal cnditins. Cuba has seen a massive increase in turism, which has put a strain n lcal turist infrastructure. While we will strive t perate ur turs as clsely t published itineraries as pssible, cnditins ften change frm ne day t the next, and minr tur mdificatins may be necessary with n advance ntice. Casa Particulares (hmestays, B&B s r guesthuses) are family run businesses that are legal and frmalised t prvide accmmdatin t freigners in Cuba. Thugh much nicer than general Cuban hmes they can seem quite rustic and bare cmpared t what mst internatinal travellers are used t back hme. Experience Cuba Turs utilises different categries f casas (Standard, Cmfrt and Select hmestays and guesthuses), private self-cntained apartments, villas and htels stays, s make sure t let us knw yur preferences t qute accrdingly. Cuba as a develping cuntry is subject t pwer utages and it is cmmn t have lw water pressures in the shwers and sinks. It is als cmmn fr the shwer t be electric. If understanding and expectatins are kept in check staying at Casa Particulares is a very persnal and pleasurable way t accmmdate yurself in Cuba. The transprt system in Cuba is in many ways different t anywhere else in the wrld. Experience Cuba Turs, as ther tur peratrs in the island, are restricted in a large way by the lcal transprt laws. We use privately wned transprt with apprved licences t prvide taxi services t turists and the state-wned transprt services f TRANSTUR, the nly inter-prvincial taxi prvider in Cuba. The privately-wned transprts vary between classic vintage cars (hardtp and cnvertible) and mre mdern mdels f cars, all in gd cnditin. It is nt law in Cuba fr cars t be fitted with seat belts and neither is it against the law t use a mbile phne while driving. This is nt cndned r encuraged by Experience Cuba Turs but when travelling t ther cuntries it is custmary t abide by the lcal laws. Shuld yu have any issues r cncerns regarding yur tur r services prvided t yu by Experience Cuba Turs, Tailred Jurneys Pty Ltd while n yur tur, yu shuld cntact the cmpany s representative Laynet Luna immediately. We will attempt in gd faith t reslve the issue. Failure t ntify the cmpany at the time may limits Experience Cuba Tur s ability t reslve the matter at a later date. While it is hard t knw what every individual's expectatins might be, we d remind travellers that Cuba is in mst respects a third wrld cuntry and as such cnsideratins shuld be made and understd.
