I am in the initial stage of planning a trip to Cuba around the second week of December 2013 for 7 days. Have not selected an itinerary yet, but would like advice. I have dual citizenship US/Ireland so my plan is to fly SAN-CUN. Then CUN -HAV then in reverse. Once out of the US I will use my Irish passport. Use my US passport when departing and entering the US.

Would really like some recommendations on cultural and historic sites and itinerary suggestions, including hotels, etc.

Most important would be any recommendation for a private guide for a few days. Don't want to do tours with groups of people, just prefer to explore on my own.

Appreciate any and all help.
