First time in DR
Although the hours listed were 7-12pm we had a full day tour. It was the best excursion we could've chosen. There were 8 of us in an air conditioned van, we all got along & had a ton of laughs. The house ride is good for novices and experts, it's just a quick loop with pictures. The market is a produce & meat market only, you will see butchered animals. The lunch was delicious and our guide made use avocado with lime & salt on the fly. The river was disappointing for me as it had a lot of trash. The typical home was a great insight to daily life. Our Tour Guide was Wester Martinez, he was friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating personable and safe. We recommend this tour and the tour guide to have a great time.

10/10 Would Recommend
I’m traveling with a group of friends and we all had amazing time doing the waterfall hike! Our driver/guide William was so nice, and our waterfall tour guides Cecilo and Galvin were hilarious. They did a great job making sure everyone was having a good time while staying safe. It’s definitely with the extra money to get the add on paparazzi package. Luis did an amazing job taking photos for us. He got great action shots, lots of candids, and had great suggestions for different poses while we were hiking!

The Half Day Cultural...
The Half Day Cultural Tour in Punta Cana was a great experience. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the local culture, history, and everyday life in the Dominican Republic. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything along the way.
We visited different local spots, learned about traditional products, and got to see how some of them are made. The tour was well organized, the transportation was comfortable, and everything felt safe and welcoming.
If you’re visiting Punta Cana and want to experience more than just the resort, this tour is definitely worth doing!

Edwin was right on time and got us to the waterfall and kept our bags safe . So we only rented water shoes . Made sure we had our lunch and let us see a local fruit stand. Got us back to the ship with plenty of time. He was kind and knowledgeable about what were about to do.

Book this trip!
This was a phenomenal day trip! We got to see so much of the country side and beautiful Dominican nature. Having lunch in a tree house and swimming in a waterfall we're my highlights! Our guide, Carlos, was energetic, very knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about sharing his culture with us. We learned so much! Jason, the photographer, was lovely to spend the day with and he took great photos! Definitely let him take your photo all day and the buy them at the end. Our driver, Jimmy was also great! This was one of my favourite excursions across multiple all-inclusive trips to Mexico, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic. Don't hesitate; book this trip! It was a good size group about 14. Be prepared for long drives though. If you are in Punta Cana, it will probably be 12+ hours. If you are in the Miche area, it will be quicker. There are some bumpy roads, so wear a sports bra.

Saona Island with Quetzal
It was an amazing tour from start to finish. Service was offered fluently in English, French, Spanish. We had zero issues with any aspects of coordinating transportation to and from our hotel. It was all done for us. We just had to show up at our hotel gate. The boat was perfect. There were only 26 participants in the tour with ample room to spread out and make yourself comfortable. I struggle with neck and back issues, and had no difficulty tolerating the catamaran ride. There is a full washroom on board. The snacks and meal were fantastic. Unlimited rum and beer/ beverages all day. Saona island was stunning. We had a great massage on the beach. We only wish we would’ve had a little more cash on us so we could’ve indulged in a longer treatment. The price of the massage ranged from $50-$90 per person. Everything was well organized. We felt safe and well taken care of all day long. We made many new friends from all around the world. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to journey to Saona island.

It was nice, the travel...
It was nice, the travel agent took us through all activities in his car, we were happy about it because we didn’t have to ride in a bus and wait in lines, as groups do, and afterward he took us to Macana beach and let us stay there for a while so we could enjoy. He also got me zip line and buggies experience tour more convenient, as they initially didn’t pick up from my hotel. And hotel-airport ride rate is normal

we had a wonderful experience
When I book the trip, I had my doubt since it seems it has less review than other excursions. but it turned out wonderful; our two drivers who picked us up from the hotel of punta cana mainly speak Spanish but they are super nice and friendly; and one of the highlight is the staff from the company constantly update us the schedule by text or whatsapp and make sure we get informed and offer help if we needed; another highlight is out tour guy, a local from Santo domingo who knew every corner of the city;he is vigorous and friendly; you can tell he love his job and his city; my father is a big coin and money collection guy and he is so nice to take us around to help us collect all pesos of DR with the locals and stores;
we had a wonderful experience

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!!

Although the drive to...
Although the drive to Cayo Arena was a bit long, it was worth it. Our tour guide was very informative. The sand bar was lovely, snorkeling was cool. The mangrove tour was a hit with the family. We talked about the experience for days after the trip. A must do!

Catalina Island Catamaran Experience
Our trip to Catalina was so fun! We went on this excursion while on honeymoon and enjoyed every minute. The snorkel spots were awesome - had a lot of colorful fish and starfish. Definitely the best snorkeling I’ve done in the Caribbean. Our tour guide was very sweet and the service was great. They gave us sandwiches for snacks and a buffet of pasta, chicken, beef, salad and fresh fruit for lunch. They also offer sprite and coke rum cocktails with fresh lime - simple but delicious. We also appreciated having a small group for our tour. We’ve done tours with large amounts of people before and it’s just not the same. Having a smaller group definitely makes it easier to see everything and spread out and enjoy the boat. If I ever go back, I would definitely go on this excursion again!!

👏 amazing
From start to finish was perfect the communication was solid. Friendly and reliable. We got picked up in a fun safari truck drove to the ranch were we learned about coca bean and how it's extracted to chocolate we learned about coffee and vanilla. We got in buggies and drove to a little village to the cave amazing stunning. We went from there to a beach wow amazing. We did not feel pressure to buy anything for first time in Domincan. We than purchased coffee based on this exact feeling.
If you come to DR book with this company great people and would do it again
