20th Anniversary Celebration Tour Overview

Map 20th Anniversary Tour

It’s amazing to think that it's been 20 years since insightCuba sent the first group of Americans legally to Cuba. In 2000, we were told it couldn’t be done. Since then, we’ve created hundreds of thousands of experiences for U.S. travelers wanting to see this incredible destination for the first time.

Join us for a 20th Anniversary Celebration tour to Cuba this November and experience what we love most about this incredible destination. Experience our favorite places, hear the stories, and meet some of our best friends who for 20 years have brought Cuba to life, and made it all possible.   

A trip worthy of happening once in 20 years. Join us and Discover Cuba Through Its People, like never before.
