"The trip was terrific. As soon as we arrived in the city of Havana from the airport, we felt like we had been transported into a movie set in the 1950s. There are still signs about the revolution everywhere. There are NO American chains. No McDonalds, no Gap stores - virtually nothing familiar to us. This is one of the reasons we chose to visit Cuba now. In 25 years, it will look very different. It is a poor country but the people are kind and proud of their culture and country. This is another reason to visit now if you want to see an emerging country before it is overdeveloped."

— Lisa W and family, Cuba

"We worked with Dominique at Elevate Destinations. Let me start with a summary, we couldn't have been more pleased with her responsiveness and with the arrangements she made for us. We were concerned with the January changes in the White House and needed to make things happen quickly. Dominique was always on top of things and responded to us on weekends and in the evenings. My wife, Susan, is an artist so we wanted our agenda shaped around art. Elevate Destinations prepared a custom itinerary for us. We travel a fair bit and this was one of our most enjoyable travels."

— Bruce and Susan Kelling , Cuba

"Elevate organized a truly excellent itinerary for our trip to Cuba balancing our family's requirements, legal requirements around US citizens visiting Cuba and the idiosyncrasies and restrictions of Cuba extremely well. For most of the trip (especially in Havana) we felt like we were locals more than tourists as Elevate's packed itinerary carefully steered us around typical tourist-traps. Five stars overall."

— The Minney Family, Cuba
