What are people saying about Punta Cana

Maryann_T, Jul 2026

Excellent Introduction into Dominican Culture

We had a great experience with Darwin, our tour guide. He was very attentive and gave us a lot of information. We enjoyed ourselves with the horseback riding, learning about the market place, the Church, having an authentic lunch experience in a lush, jungle area, and then learning about cocoa and coffee. Then we ended the day at a beautiful beach, the waves were perfect. I recommend this excursion.

I had a great time on...

I had a great time on this trip. The communication from the tour company was very clear and organized, and our driver came early. Out tour guide José was also great and I learned so much from him. He was attentive to everyone's needs throughout the day. We also packed many interesting stops and made it back on time which was excellent!

Lesli_N, Jul 2026

Best part of our trip

10 out of 10, must do! It’s a LONG day and a lot of ‘bumpy’ driving towards the last stop but I am SO glad we did this. Beautiful sites, our favorite part was the lunch in the most amazing spot and the best meal we had the whole trip. (Maybe pack extra snacks bc it was a late lunch). The guides were great, just wish we would’ve known there was a drop off meeting spot so that was confusing but it was well coordinated.

Full-Day Santo Domingo City Tour from Punta Cana

Bryan_B, Jul 2026

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!

Half-day City tour cultural from punta cana for small group

Ashleigh_A, Jul 2026

Great experience highly recommend if you are interested in seeing outside your hotel.

We had a wonderful tour with Andy who speaks wonderful English and is very knowledgeable about the area as well as local Dominican culture. We participated as a family with two children age 11 and 15 and it was a very memorable experience for everyone, so much was packed into one day but we did not feel rushed. I like that we were able to make many visits and sample local products but there was not pressure to purchase. It was more about seeing how things are made, and getting a sense of how people live in the area around Punta Cana. We visited the iconic church, local market, rolled cigars, tasted fresh macao, had a delicious home cooked lunch, visited a beautiful local beach (better conditions than our hotel due to sargassum) and horse back riding, all this and we were done before 3pm. We chose to stay longer at the beach and uber back to our hotel because it was so beautiful there. Wonderful service and communication throughout. Even if we had rented a car there is no way we would have uncovered so many hidden gems and so efficiently. Thank you!

The overall experience was excellent. You should know it's all day. Due to the transportation and the stops. Please be prepared. The get from one boat to the next is dangerous. You will need waterproof bags because they will get wet. Overall boat ride and island was great and beautiful.

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.

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.

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.
