About Us

Our Journey: From Backpackers to Cuba Travel Experts


It all began when Chris set off on a backpacking trip across Central and South America, where his love for Cuba truly took root. Back then, traveling in Cuba was not only more challenging but also more exhilarating than anywhere else he had been. The country’s rich history and unique culture made it a mysterious and captivating destination that many travelers struggled to fully understand.


Chris’s personal adventures in Cuba left a deep impression, sparking a passion to share his insights with others.


Curious about what a Cuba Buddy trip looks like? Check out our video—it captures the vibrant streets of Havana and authentic local experiences you won’t want to miss.

After returning, Chris launched Backpackercuba, a company dedicated to offering real, authentic backpacking adventures in Cuba. At first, it was just friends and colleagues joining the trips. But soon, through word of mouth, more and more people reached out—hearing about this unique opportunity for personalized trips to Cuba. 

 

As time went on, Backpackercuba grew into Cuba Buddy, a travel company specializing in custom trips designed around each traveler’s desires. Today, we’ve expanded into a team of over 30 experts between Germany and Havana. While our offerings have evolved, our mission has stayed the same: “Broaden your horizons through travel.”

Comment from your buddy​
From motorcycle trips to sailing trips to salsa trips and family trips with small children - we have planned many different Cuba trips, but one thing is certain... every Cuba specialist remembers every single trip as if it were yesterday! But above all, there is nothing better than the feeling when our travelers return from Cuba overjoyed and tell us about their Cuba trips and the personal contact with the locals. A big thank you to all Cuba Buddy travelers.

We can only warmly recommend Cuba Buddy to everyone.
We spent two wonderful weeks in Cuba. The booking process, advice and contact before and during the trip were very professional, super friendly and, above all, one thing: our every wish and concern was taken into account. Which was definitely not always easy... We can only warmly recommend Cuba Buddy to everyone. They know their business.

An exceptional travel agency with employees from Havana​
An exceptional travel agency with employees from Havana. Special thanks go to Juan Carlos and his team, including tour guide Jose Alejandro, who was personally with me for a few days. Great planning and super personal service, which is very rare. Thank you also for your unbureaucratic help after I had to cancel my trip. Highly recommended.

Cuba Buddy is one of the best in this field.
Excellent - The Cuba Buddy team had organized a beautiful trip for us and then Corona came. We didn't believe it would be possible to go on the trip but the team managed it despite considerable difficulties. Wonderfully affordable and highly effective, we got to almost all the places we wanted to go despite various travel restrictions imposed by the Cuban government.
