We are considering a trip to Cuba in 2027, and I was looking for a tour company to travel with; however, all of the usual places I look do not have a Cuba itinerary. (Except A+K, which is a bit expensive). Does anyone have a recommendation?

We went to Havana last December with Road Scholar. They have been going to Cuba for a long time and had a lot of tours there. However, they have suspended them as of I think, around February, due to the rapidly deteriorating conditions in Cuba after Cuba lost their Venezuelan ally. They no longer advertise them, and if you do a targeted search on their website you will still find them listed, with departure dates later this year, but availability for all of them is grayed out as “sold out.” I don’t think that’s the case, they’re just not taking any reservations now. I think it’s the same with any reputable company. The conditions in Cuba, such as lack of fuel, make it impossible for normal tourism. It is a terrible, sad situation for the Cuban people. Will tourism to Cuba again be possible in 2027? Who knows, but I don’t think any plans can be made for that at this time.

Intrepid and G Adventures run them. But I don’t know when flights will start running there again.

In addition to what's been shared above, I will add that it's important to know that the US is currently refusing ESTAs to anyone who has been to Cuba since (I believe) 2021. It was in the news here that some England/Scotland fans travelling to the World Cup found this out the hard way as they were not able to travel on their expensive trip to the US. Of course this wouldn't apply to US citizens but sharing this info here in case this applies to you or others reading this.
