Cultour with Enrique Núñez

26/06/2019

My speech at the Cuba panel during the 2019 New York Times Travel Show. The Javits Convention Center, NY, January 27.

05/06/2019

Hey, there, dear American People!
Do you want to keep your human rights? Do you still want to come to Cuba? The Administration wants you to believe there's no chance to come to Cuba anymore. That's not true! Choose "Support for the Cuban People" license, buy your ticket and fly. Come to stay in "Casas particulares" instead state hotels, ride only private taxis, have your meals only in "paladars" The new regulations doesn't means at all that the possibility of get in touch with Cuban people is over Not at all.
You have rights which are being violated by the Administration in this minute. The right to travel wherever you want. The right to support any people in Earth. Choose "Support for the Cuban People" license, and come individually to meet our warm country.

SOS!!
Some Cruise lines, such as Royal Caribbean, are telling to their passengers THAT THEY’RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE IN LAND, BUT THE SHOREX OPTIONS SOLD IN THE SHIPS.
This is NOT TRUE: Any cruise passenger could choice the option “Support the Cuban people” INSTEAD “People to people” in Groups, when choosing the license through which they want to travel to Cuba.
It’s normal that these Cruise Lines want to sell their Shorex excursions in alliance with the Cuban haulers. None of them want to loose the incomes from those shorex activities.
HOWEVER, Cruise Companies must stop lying to their passengers when say that “People to People” in Groups is their only American travel license, as their option to do something while in Cuban ports.
This situation is affecting thousands of workers from the private emergent sector in tourism: Taxi drivers, craftmen and women, restaurants owners, and many others…even hair dressers and shoe shiners.
It’s URGENT to STOP that wrong and unfair policy from the Cruise Lines and their Cuban partners. All cruise passengers has the right to get in touch with the CUBAN PEOPLE and SUPPORT THEM, by using our services.

El año pasado, en esta fecha, ya yo había tenido 9 clientes, o como me gusta llamarlos "estudiantes" en mis Cultours. Este año..NINGUNO...¿Es así como la Administración de EE.UU. quiere "ayudar al pueblo cubano"? ¿A nosotros, los que formamos parte del pequeño sector privado emergente, así pretende ayudar nuestras familias? ¡Que hipocresía tan grande!
Last year, on these dates I already had had 9 clients, or better "students" the way I like the most to call them...This year:.NONE! Is this the way the USA Administration found to "support the Cuban people"? Support us, little entrepreneurs from the emergent private sector...support OUR FAMILIES?
This is a huge hipocrisy!

Happy 2018!!

“If you want an authentic Cuban experience, then Enrique is your guy. For two days he was our personal tour guide and made sure our experience was filled with live music, historically significant, cultural attractions and food. What made the trip even more special is that Enrique knows everyone. We couldn't walk an inch without one of his friends greeting us with a bright smile welcoming us to Cuba. The people are what makes Cuba great. We had two days full of activities and he even took us to the parties at night. I highly recommend him…”
Nicholas Owen. NOTV. Washington DC.
"I've travelled quite extensively, and always appreciate experiencing both the uniquely local and tourist-centric offerings of a country. Enrique and his CULTOUR were able to capture these elements seamlessly, combining cultural and historical education, everyday Cuban life, and underground live Cuban music.. .2 thumbs up for CULTOUR WITH ENRIQUE NUÑEZ !!"
Kyle Hutton. NYC.
"Enrique's Cultour was the best way for us to see Havana. He was very accommodating, gave great insight into the city, and was very passionate and knowledgeable about the history and culture. He was also extremely helpful getting us dinner reservations and made sure we were well taken care of. We're glad he was part of our Havana experience!"
Tracie & Danielle. New York.

“Enrique is very knowledgeable, a terrific guide. Flexible with the itinerary and plans. His deep understanding of Cuban history, and his seamless program allows for a day packed with history and cultural experiences including jazz, art and culinary treasures. Without Enrique, we would not have been able to experience the richness of the Cuban culture and it’s many dimensions. A wonderful day in Havana…We can’t thank him enough!”
Theresa Emory. MD. NYC.

My wife and I recently made our first visit to Havana, and by far our wisest decision was to sign up for a 2-day CULTOUR with Enrique Nunez. Touring the city with Enrique for 2 days, we were able to do more, see more and experience Havana like we couldn’t have done on our own in 2 weeks! Music, art, food and drink, culture, literature, history and lively discussion throughout with our engaging and knowledgeable host made for a very special experience. I highly recommend Enrique’s CULTOUR. He even arranged for our accommodations and just took great care of us throughout. Just a wonderful guy who we would now consider a dear friend.
Tom & Mary Pat Colicchio – New York, NY
“ CULTOUR with Enrique Nuñez” was an amazing way to get a customized experience of Havana! Enrique is a seasoned professional who knows all the ins and outs of Havana and can create the perfect experience based on what your interests are. He took us to the main attractions of Havana as well as some hidden gems. Spending the day in his Soviet Lada was such a great way to explore a city rich in culture and heritage.”

A FORMER AMERICAN TRAVELER, A CULTOUR STUDENT, WROTE ME TODAY:
"Enrique

las cosas continuan a cambiar entre las relaciones
Yo no se si va ser possible viajar a Cuba el año 2018

No sabes como quiero volver a La Habana ....
El deseo es tremendo !!!!!

Si todavía tienen permiso los cruise ships, a mi se me hace que ese va ser el mode de viaje. Por favor saludos a Nancy y Talía"
AND I REPLIED:
"Querida Pat.
Lo que está sucediendo es que el gobierno norteamericano le está pidiendo a sus ciudadanos que no viajen a Cuba, pero no puede prohibir que viajen. Todo es una trama política en contra de mi país, tratando de dañarlo.
No hay un solo viajero norteamericano que haya sufrido algo malo en un viaje a Cuba, a no ser una indigestión de frijoles negros y langosta.
Tu eres testigo de que nada malo pasa aquí con los norteamericanos, y eso incluye a los diplomáticos (muchos NO SE QUERÍAN IR CUANDO SE LOS ORDENARON!!)
Así que puedes planificar tu viaje a La Habana en 2018 sin ningún temor. Puedes venir por avión o en un crucero, como quieras, pero no dejes de venir...eso sería hacerle el juego político a la ultraderecha de USA. Please, share this message among your friends"

Parece que el calor de Cuba es más fuerte que las nuevas restricciones anunciadas en relación a los viejes. Menos viajeros americanos se ven estos días en La Habana, a pesar de que todavía pueden venir sin "problema" hasta el 15 de septiembre. Sí señor, hay muuucho calor estos días en mi ciudad. Aun así, Cultour con Enrique Núñez los invita a aprovecharla oportunidad...Prometo toda clase de lugares refrigerados, además de mojitos, daiquirís entre clase y clase de Cultura Cubana. Par el año próximo tal vez mi Lada fucsia tendrá también aire acondicionado. En la foto, Danielle Solomonic, una de las primeras alumnas de Cultour with Enrique Núñez
