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!!

Informative
The experience.in Santo Domingo was very informative. We learnt alot and seen alot. If you need to know more about the culture of the city a definite MUST do. Make sure you in comfortable walking shoe and light clothing as it get pretty humid with all the walking.

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.

Great Experience
Sandy the driver and Robinson the tour guide were awesome. As “hokey” as it may sound, they both made it feel like we were touring the local area with family. As far as the tour, it was great. I genuinely felt like I was able to see the authentic Punta Cana

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.

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.

Highly Recommend! 5 Stars!
This tour was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, it was the perfect way to experience the true beauty and culture of the Dominican Republic. Riding through the Anamuya Mountains in the open-air safari vehicle was so much fun and gave us amazing views. Visiting the old sugar plantation and watching locals hand-roll cigars was fascinating — such a unique experience!
The stop at the largest and most important church and the famous “colmado” made us feel like we were really connecting with the local community. The traditional buffet lunch was delicious and a great chance to try authentic Dominican flavors. My favorite part was visiting a Dominican family — it felt so personal and heartwarming.
Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you want to explore beyond the resorts and see the real Dominican countryside, this tour is a must-do. Highly recommend!
