Top Dominican Republic Day Trips - page 35

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.

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 !!

Lots of adventure and sights to see. Broke up our week at a resort with this tour. Not for the faint of heart or someone looking for a luxury option. But you get amazing people (guide and driver) who make you feel safe and enjoy the beauty of the country. Robinson was our tour guide and made you feel like family. The lunch we had on this tour was authentic and probably the best food we had on our entire trip. If you are looking to experience something you won’t forget, I encourage you to give this a try.

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

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!

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.

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!!

My family of 5 ( 3 kids ages 23,21& 18) had a great day with Alfredo, who was very entertaining and informative.. Waterfalls were so refreshing & fun and buggies were awesome! Unlike some other recent reviews, the buggy company (Super Buggies) provided helmets free of charge and were very concerned about safety, ensuring our seatbelts and helmets were on properly and gave us instructions on how to drive safely. We drove through water many times with huge splashes, got soaked & so many laughs! We were at the waterfalls for approx 3 hours and buggies for 2 ( including stops at a local shop with some chocolate and coffee tastings) & for a swim in the ocean). A photographer was with us throughout the day and took such amazing pictures of our family together, that we purchased for the lasting memories.Thank you Alfredo for ensuring my family had an amazing & safe experience!
