Great tour!
Great experience on this tour. We visited a farm with horseback riding, the Basilica, the local market in Punta Cana (which was my favorite because of the diversity!) a Cocao Plantation, Cigar Making Shop, a wonderful restaurant next to a river and a public beach. Our guides were amazing with Luis Garcia being our driver and Donelo giving us the history behind our visits. Luis was personable, hilarious and full of life! He made the trip so much fun! Know that there is a lot of driving, so it does extend the time. I was picked up on the far side of Cap Cana at 7:10am and returned back around 4pm. Communication was great! I would definitely do this again. It gave me a true view of Dominican Life, Food and Culture.

The excursion was...
The excursion was excellent. From the moment Chris picked us up at the hotel, he provided information and explained the history of the place. The views along the way were breathtaking. The ranch and horseback riding, the basilica, Higüey, the Dominican aunt's house where we saw the cacao process, and the food—it was a very cultural tour, just as I wanted. The service was excellent. 100% recommended.

A true cultural immersion
The experience was truly immersed in the culture of the Dominican Republic. We went off the beaten path and stayed there where we enjoyed great sites, food and people. However, it was a FULL day (not half) and you may want to bring snacks and hand sanitizer.

Must definitely book
Amazing excursion. Marianne and her family were amazing people and very helpful and attentive. It was my husband's first time riding an ATV and she made sure he understood the ins and outs. Idk if it was just how the line up worked or she wanted him upfront to keep an eye out on him but he lead the line and it was so much fun to watch him enjoy himself. We toured the jungle and then stopped at a Dominican home for coffee and coconuts. Then another stop at a private beach to cool off before heading back. It was so worth the money

Take this tour!
This is an AMAZING tour!!! It provides so much knowledge and history while visiting several sites; and the buffet lunch was delicious. The tour is very well managed - groups aren't all showing up in places at the same time, they give you headsets so you can hear your guide while taking your time to look around and take photos, and there are plenty of bathroom breaks. Nacho was our tour guide and he was engaging, personable, and extremely intelligent. A couple bits of advice - take whatever you want to have with you on the tour when you get off the bus after the Presidential palace, as you won't get back on until the day is done. Also be aware that this is a LONG day - 13 hours for us - and A LOT of sitting on a bus and walking. Be prepared for that, but regardless I recommend it 100%.

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

Jason is the best
Jason was amazing! We did a private tour and absolutely loved it. Expect a lot of driving but it’s definitely worth it. Jason made sure we had everything we needed and were well taken care of. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the REAL natural beauty and culture that is the Dominican Republic.

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!

A great way to see the Dominican beyond the beach!
This tour was awesome! A great way to get away from the beach & see more of the Dominican! Robinson & Tito were great and very personable. They were organized and made it an easy experience. Very worth it & we had a variety of activities- horseback riding, visiting the church, seeing a traditional market, lunch by the river, a traditional dominican house where they showed us how they make coffee/chocolate, a cigar factory, and the beach. I would suggest you bring your own water & cash for the various activities! Highly recommend!!

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.

Series of unfortunate events.
The excursion was great. Luis Miguel. Was our instructor and he was great very knowledgeable nice accommodating. We did have a series of unfortunate events that happened to our excursion out of any of our control. However, Luis Miguel handled it in a super professional manner he should get all the raises and all the kudos.
