The government doesn't want problems with tourists. Unless you look for trouble you'll be okay. With that said there is quite a bit of trouble to get into if you get very involved with the lives of Cubans who make their living off of tourists, even there if you are careful you can have very good guides and make friends if you set boundaries.
