temesvar Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 On the winter months here in Ontario, i would like to take a trip to warmer and exotic places. Since i like to ride, a motorcycle tour would be great. Was thinking of Cuba, never been there, but other suggestions are welcome. Would like to fly to Havana, rent a bike and join a tour group with guide. Look forward to suggestions and advises!! Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Google Cuba M/C tours. There is a guy who runs tours in Cuba during the winter. Sorry, can't remember his name. Enjoy, it's a beautiful island. Link to comment
temesvar Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Thanks for your help! I have seen that, they are a travel agency from Denmark. They have Harley's and GS650 and 850. Just hoped someone has already been there and can tell about their experience! Link to comment
Groanup Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I've never been, but a young friend of mine was there a few weeks ago. He and his S.O. spent a week in Havana. He told me "The people are nice, but they are always trying to find a way to get money from you. The food is pretty scetchy." And the one I found most interesting... "It was hard to find a toilet with a seat on it." He thinks Cuba needs about 10 years to get ready for tourists. Of course YMMV... Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 There is a guy in texas who does tours that advertises. Not familiar with the one in Europe. What questions do you want answered? Link to comment

What questions do you want answered? Well, Cuba M/C Tours come up a travel agency from Denmark. Just didn't find anything else yet. I posted this to see if anyone has experienced Cuba, or other South American motorcycle tour, and what one should look for, if they can recommend a certain travel agency! Link to comment

But there are places on earth that have no toilets, and one is lucky to find a good leaf, as substitute for toilet paper!! We should go visit those places, not to complain, but to appreciate the luxury we live in!! Link to comment
Jake Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 It may be worth revisiting Goanup's cautionary words, just so you clearly know what you would be getting in to. Gene and Neda have posted an excellent write up of their time in Cuba which makes for highly recommended reading. Link to comment
