Do you have a travel query that you can't find the answer to? Or just need specific advice on a destination? The Mail on Sunday's Frank Barrett probably has the answer...A view of Tranquil Las Terrazas in Cuba

Back to nature: Tranquil Las Terrazas is one of the stops on a ten-day hiking tour of Cuba

QUESTION: I've always wanted to visit Cuba and, as a single traveller, a walking holiday is the most appealing. Can you recommend a tour operator that features walking breaks on the island? Samantha, by email

ANSWER: Headwater (01606 720199, www.headwater.com) is offering a new Cuba Uncovered guided walking tour with six departures from January to May next year.

Exploring Cuba's western half, Headwater says it gives insights into the country's unique history, politics, culture and natural charms.

'The ten-day tour bypasses the traditional tourist coastal resorts to concentrate on the island's atmospheric towns, five Unesco heritage sites and lesser-known rural hideaways. The walks are as varied as the country itself, ranging from about four miles to about eight and combining city tours with trails through forests, pineapple plantations and mangroves,' says the firm.

Frank You will stay in a four-star eco-hotel in Las Terrazas, within a biosphere reserve, and a five-star hotel in the heart of Havana with panoramic rooftop views over the city. There's also a five-star classic three-storey mansion in the town of Trinidad that's one of Cuba's most luxurious hotels.

Prices for the guided hotel-to-hotel walking holiday start at £2,468 per person, including Iberia flights between Heathrow and Havana, transfers, nine nights' B&B accommodation, most meals, the transfer of bags between hotels and the services of an experienced local leader.
