Amazing time in Santo Domingo
Our driver Victor was punctual and a very good driver. Our guide Hector was an incredible guide and so knowledgeable. We booked a private tour and we were picked up at the lobby. The drive to Santo Domingo was a bit over two hours. Van was air conditioned and comfortable. We stopped about halfway there for a restroom and snack break. The park was beautiful but there are a lot of steps down and then back up from the limestone caves. It is also very humid so be prepared. Our guide gave us a tour of some other stuff you don’t normally get along with what is advertised. The lunch was so good and everyone at the restaurant was so nice! All the history was incredible and lots of photo ops. Be ready in case it rains as it poured for about an hour when we were there. On a side note that has nothing to do with the tour. Our driver made a stop at a gift shop close to our resort. It was supposed to a spot where you can get souvenirs. Everyone in the store was nice but a bit pushy when it comes to buying stuff. None of the items have prices on them. When we went to pay, the total was going to be $600 USD for a handful of souvenirs. Never in my life or in any other country have I paid so much for souvenirs. We just left everything and left. Just an FYI.

Worth the money!
It is worth the money. We had Robinson as tour guide and he was so knowlegeable, friendly, patient and was able to communicate with both English and Spanish speaking tourists. I recommend this tour if you want to see a glimpse of the way of life and culture of the people in Dominican Republic beyond the glitzy walls of the resorts. I’m glad we did this tour!

Great excursion
From beginning to end the excursion was great. One of the best excursions I have been on. The night before the company let us know what time our pick up time was which was great and very accurate. Our tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about the Dominican Republic, he spoke English, Spanish, and French. I can’t remember his name but I know he was a police officer, hopefully if you go you get him :). It was very nice seeing outside of the tourist area, we went to the famous Catholic Church, a school, a shop, the market, a lady house, Macao beach, and as a group we decided not to do horse back riding. We had lunch at this restaurant which was originally supposed to be at the lady’s house but that didn’t happen unfortunately due to certain circumstances but our driver made it right and we still got lunch. Overall the experience was a 5/5. Highly recommend!

Fantastic adventure for the first time in DR.
Fantastic tour, had a blast the entire day. Our guide Joel was great, very informative on the history and facts about the Dominican Republic during the drive to the different locations.
The most magical part of the whole thing was Los Haitises national park, seeing the birds flying over the islands was something else!
Wouldn't hesitate to do it again, truly made my trip.

ATV tour
This was a wonderful experience! My family enjoyed it and the views are beautiful. The tour guides were awesome and explained everything before we left. If you go, please make sure you have goggles and a bandana, they have some available for purchase. The coffee was delicious. This tour is more expensive than others but well worth the cost. Recommended!!

Great Way to Discover the Dominican Republic
I had a great experience on this Santo Domingo tour! Our tour guide, Darius, was fun, energetic, and incredibly knowledgeable. He spoke three languages fluently and did an excellent job explaining the history of the Dominican Republic in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. You could tell he genuinely enjoys what he does.
A special thanks as well to our driver, who drove safely and professionally throughout the entire journey, making the long trip comfortable and stress-free.
I highly recommend this tour if you want to learn about the country’s rich history while having an enjoyable day. Definitely worth it!

More than what I expected!!!
This trip is a wonderful way to see how the locals live, taste some wonderful local cuisine. The food was awesome.. We had a good time with the rum tasting the mamawanna, the coffee and chocolate farms. Robinson our tour guide was WONDERFUL! His knowledge is top notch and he is so polite. By the end of the day he and Teo (the driver) felt like family. I definitely recommend taking this tour. It is also a REALLY value. You get more then what you pay for.

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.

Boogie Woogie
Really fantastic experience, we certainly got the right kind of messy in the boogies but the coffee tasting and shops, the water caves and Macao Beach were absolutely stunning. Highlight of the trip - get used to saying no to the locals but please do support the community in what you enjoy. The coffee is delicious!

Zip-line in the jungle
Very beautiful place, well made zip lines, professional staff. Definitely worth it.
Be aware of the drive forth and back as it is shared transport so if you are picked up first, you travel the longest. I would say the price of the tour is targeted for Americans, so for other nationalities it is a bit expensive.
Good service of our driver-Juan, also brand new bus for our little group.

Great excursion for a family!
This was a fantastic tour! Gary and Johnny were great guides. They were fun and entertaining, but also kept everyone organized when areas got busy. They made sure to give us a heads up before we’re would encounter an onslaught of crazy merchants and gave us tips on dealing with them!

It’s a long day but worth...
It’s a long day but worth it! Our tour guides Sexy Papi and PJ were amazing. Our shuttle driver Cielo was hauling butt to make the travel times are short as possible which we really appreciated. The zip lining was so much fun and beautiful scenery. All the workers made me feel very comfortable (first time zip liner, it’s intimidating! ) the monkeys were so cute and friendly. And last but not least the buggies were a fun way to wrap up the day, luckily the DR hadn’t been getting too much rain so didn’t get muddy! Just be prepared to be away from your resort for up to 12 hours. They had plenty of water but glad we brought extra bottles and snacks.
