Top notch group for any experience.
We walked a bit to where the van was but it was worth it! Our two guys, Alex and Richard, were awesome. This was our 2nd time to do the waterfalls at Amber Cove and we will ALWAYS use Eric Tours from now on. We were given great tips, an awesome buffet of Dominican food, drinks, and our own go pro pics from Alex. Made the day so enjoyable thanks to those two. And Lotta - big thanks for always making sure we were informed before, during, and after the excursion. You guys are killing it and can’t wait to have Richard taking us on a fishing trip next time!

Robertson (guide) and...
Robertson (guide) and Sande (driver) were very organized and helpful. We never felt rushed and enjoyed all of the educational information Robertson offered.
We were initially nervous about the hourse ride, but it was run very well, and we all enjoyed it.
The last stop was a beautiful beach, which was a welcome cool down.

Amazing 3 in 1 tour was Awesome!
Our 12-hour tour turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip! I was a little nervous at first because it was such a long day, but having Carlos as our guide and Jimmy as our driver made the entire experience absolutely amazing.
We explored so much in one day — from going up into the mountains and getting breathtaking photos, to taking a boat ride through incredible caves, enjoying a delicious traditional lunch that was included, and visiting a beautiful waterfall. Seeing so much of the country along the way made the experience even more special.
Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. They picked us up and dropped us off right on time, and we got some of the best pictures and videos of our trip. Carlos kept everyone entertained all day with his humor and energy, and he was unbelievably knowledgeable — they called him “Google” because he seemed to know everything!
This tour was 100% worth it, and we would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting.

Book it!
The waterfalls were gorgeous and so much fun!! There was a bit of a hike but we had older women and young kids who all made it easily. Definitely worth it! Tammy was our guide for the day and she was friendly, the car was sooo nice and she had lots of info to share with us on the way there and back.

Highly recommend!!!
Beautiful half day tour into the Highly Exclusive & Affluent Gated Community of Casa de Campo frequented by many celebrities. Our tour guide Alex was very knowledgeable and courteous showing us around. We saw beautiful views of the River, walked around all the exclusive shops and even rode a donkey! The amphitheater was amazing (felt like we were in Rome or Greece!) and the church was also very pretty. Great photo ops around every corner! Really beautiful and something different to do aside from beach & action parks.

The real culture
We came to the Dominican and stayed at a resort but wanted to book an excursion to see the real culture of the country. Osvaldo our guide was extremely knowledgeable and our driver Fansisco. It was a 1/2 day and there was no rush. Osvaldo really wanted to show you all things. From the market- horseback riding in the country, original cigar factory and also made one ourselves and the famous church in the big city. We also visited a home where the lady let us tour her house and all the gardens she has to make organic things not to mention he fed us an authentic DR lunch that was amazing . This was an excellent experience. Just what we wanted to see. Osvaldo would also make sure to take pictures of you at each location and didn’t try to sell you photos but by doing it with your phone which we appreciated. We tipped him well because it was worth it !!

Long day out but honestly worth it
Booked the small group trip but we were upgraded to private tour which was fantastic as we had our own driver and tour guide so we were able to make excellent use of time and got chance to do all the attractions. Lunch was included, again this was great. Thanks so much for a fantastic historical day out

Best Cultural Tour!!
We originally had a switch up with our activity dates and Christopher was VERY accommodating and still showed us a great time! The food, culture, and sites were all great and we were free to ask all types of questions! Not only did we go to the designated spots, he also took the time to show us some real spots to get good food and drinks outside of the popular places.
When going to the chocolate and coffee spot, the demonstration was very good and they let us taste the products at their different stages. The lunch was really tasty and very fresh, each of us had 2 plates of food and really enjoyed the hospitality!!! Would highly recommend!

So much fun
I read reviews about Malcom but I needed to experience it for myself. Everything that everyone said is the truth. Malcom is an awesome tour guide. He help me to maneuver through the hikes, I’m not a swimmer but I did everything that everyone one else did. I climbed the rocks and i am 64 the only thing that I didn’t do is the water slide and jump. I was still able to get in the water and take pictures of the family jumping. Off the cliffs and slides. I was right there with them and Malcom was everything. Give that man a raise. He gave us some delicious Mango. Thank you sooo much when I come back I’ll see you again 😘

The guides and crew were...
The guides and crew were friendly and accommodating. The trip to Saona Island was one of the highlights of our trip to the DR. There seemed to be less tourists on our Catamaran compared to others that we saw, which I consider a plus. I’d recommend tour to others.

100% Worth It!
If you are looking for way to see what the DR is like beyond the resort, BOOK THIS! It’s a very eclectic and interesting excursion that allows you to see how an average citizen of the country lives. My wife and I wanted to book something like this and it totally met our expectations, it will keep you busy and having fun the whole time. Also I must mention that our guide, Wester Martinez, was fantastic!

The BEST snorkeling experience in Sousa Bay
Every minute of this experience was absolutely wonderful!! We did snorkeling and Alex, Franklin and Poncho did everything they could to be sure we were having a positive experience we were picked up at the port and driven to a site that gave us positive snorkeling outcomes They offered 2 separate locations that gave us the opportunity to view lots of variety/colors of numerous fish they were very attentive to making sure we were safe every minute That was their primary concern so we could relax and totally enjoy all there was to see so many varieties of fish PLUS Alex took numerous underwater shots of us that will bring back so many memories of our underwater experience and all the varieties of fish we got close to!! You will be so glad to book an unforgettable excursion, one you will never forget!!

With its beaches, mountains, and colonial cities, the Dominican Republic practically begs to be explored beyond its resorts. Day trips from popular tourist areas like Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, and Puerto Plata offer adventures to suit every interest, from ziplining and ATV rides in the mountains to catamaran cruises to Saona Island. On Dominican Republic day trips, you can snorkel and sunbathe, explore the historic Santo Domingo, or hike to the Damajagua Waterfalls. Tours typically include meals and refreshments with all logistics taken care of, so you can focus on enjoying your experience.
