Anyone done the Best of Havana Express w/ Colon Cemetery?

[LucyLovesCruising]

we will be going to Cuba this fall and are interested in doing this excursion. It looks like the only stop that is different between this one and the Best of Havana is the Hemingway house (which we don’t mind missing) and it’s $70 cheaper. Have any of you gone on this one?Thanks

We did this tour last April on the Empress. We were transported on new air conditioned coach buses with bathrooms. The tour stopped at a fortress, cigar shop , cementary , town plaza and indoor flea market. The guides were all fluent in english and very knowledgeable. At some point during the tour the skies opened up and we experienced heavy rain. The driver slowly drove past points of interest and even stopped for anyone who wished to step out and take photographs. A very enjoyable and informative tour!

We also did this same tour,the only problem[if you want to call it that]was we were just getting to the statue of Jesus over looking the Harbor[nice seeing as you come in the harbor]It started raining and as the bus stopped the skies opened up.Some people wanted to go up to the statue and when they came back they were soaked.If you do go on this tour get to where you will meet to leave for the tour get there early as they give you tickets to get on the bus starting with number one,which we were on ,there were 7 buses that did this tour.
