FOOTSTEPS OF THE REVOLUTION TOUR V
September 4- 18, 2005
The Footsteps of the Revolution Tour will leave an indelible mark on your conscience and your heart. You will experience the Cuban soul at its very roots. Some of the hotels we will be using do not have hot water, and much of the accommodation will be very basic but there will be no shortage of warmth in the people you will meet. This tour is ideal for those who desire a deeper understanding of Cuban history and how the Revolution came about. You will learn up-close what the revolution means to Cuba and Cubans. You will see the Cuba that exists outside of the typical tourist resorts.
