If I could give this experience a thousand stars, I would! The tour was led by dear Fran, whom we already consider a great friend! The experience and care that BeyondRoots provides is incredible and very worthwhile. As a black person, who was born and lives in Brazil, I could see up close the similarity that Cuban history has, especially the African influence on culture. An extremely valuable and necessary story to be told and never forgotten. I'm so happy I found and chose this experience!!!

It is genuinely challenging to find their t words to describe the experience we had. We booked in for the experience, and added in (at separate cost) extra time for a special experience in addition - it was beyond worth it. In addition to learning deeply about Afro-Cuban cultural practice, while it felt like we had just dipped our toes into the experience, we left inspired, welcomed, more knowledgeable than when we began and we can’t recommend the experience highly enough. Endimo was a particularly gracious guide, open with his knowledge and deeply passionate about sharing. Don’t hesitate - just book and go with an open mind and heart.
