Probably you have been searching for some cheap Cuba holidays 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 element that increases the cost of a holiday package is definitely the transportation. When you want to visit few locations cause you want to get to know the real Cuba. Most travel agents out there will use taxi transfers in their quotes and when you hear the price then you start thinking maybe is best if I stick to 1 or 2 places to make it cheap.
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.
A Taxi from Havana to Varadero which is a very common twin centre combination will cost around 100 CUC while a ticket with Viazul will only cost 12 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.
Viazul has an excellent service. Their coaches are new and very comfortable. They come with WC, air conditioning and catering for long 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.
Just one point I want to make clear though which is the fact that VIAZUL alternative will never be as comfortable as the taxi option but hey! We are looking at cheap options here not VIP service.
