What our community has to say

"This was my fourth trip with Heart of Travel and as always, it did not disappoint! The accommodations, excursions, restaurants, and communication were all top notch. Daniel was very knowledgeable and hilarious. Traveling with Heart of Travel is not the typical touristy trip - they take the time to expose you to the locals, where you learn the history and culture of each place firsthand. It's an authentic experience each time."

"I had an amazing time in Cuba with Heart of Travel. The warm and welcoming people, superb authentic meals, clean accommodations, and small intimate group made the experience unforgettable. Active guides added excitement, and I enjoyed horseback riding and hikes. The nightlife with dancing, music and Mojitos was infectious. Heart of Travel is dependable and shares their love of Cuba."

"Wonderful trip. We generally don’t sign up for pre planned events when we travel, but we are so glad we did. It was nice to have some fun things to do set up in advance and managed. It was great to work with a team that was constantly in contact with us, keeping us updated on the events, weather, transportation. We would recommend Heart of Travel to anyone traveling to a country they have not visited before. Great team!"

"This trip exceeded my already high expectations. The itinerary was planned and crafted with such care to allow for an immersive experience. Chelsea and the Heart of Travel allow you to experience Guatemala like a local while touching on the experiences all tourists want to have. Chelsea welcomed us to Guatemala with open arms and we left with full hearts. An 11/10 experience; highly recommend."
