All Santo Domingo Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 7

Very nice experience, Abraham was very kind and patient and let us know what the day will look like, the traveling part to get to the island is quite long but to be expected and worth the visit as the island is very beautiful and relaxing I enjoyed my experience!

Jonathan Tineo @djtineo was a great tour guide. He is knowledgeable about the surrounding areas and is very cool! He recommends well and gives you time to enjoy the activities. He was also our photographer and shared the pictures with us. At the end of the excursion, he dropped us back off at our Airbnb which was very nice.

Let me start by saying: WOW! This tour was truly one of the most incredible experiences I've had. From the very beginning, everything was seamless. Pickup was right on time—in fact, Daniel arrived early, which I really appreciated since I was early too! The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and perfect for the day ahead. Daniel, our guide, was informative, attentive, friendly, and genuinely enjoyable to spend the day with. After picking up two other families, he gave us an honest overview of the day, offered helpful suggestions, and made sure everyone was comfortable before heading to the river. He even asked if anyone was craving anything and went out of his way to help people find what they wanted, whether it was cherry juice, ice cream, or a beer. Once we arrived, Daniel and Mistoline gave us a quick warm-up, and then the adventure began! We explored stunning caves with crystal-clear, refreshing water. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. I brought a waterproof phone case, and Mistoline kindly took over as our photographer, which allowed everyone in the group to relax, interact, and enjoy the experience together. I was honestly terrified at times and slipped more than once, but both Daniel and Mistoline were incredibly supportive. They helped me and the other women navigate the more challenging areas safely, making sure everyone felt comfortable and secure. What I appreciated most was that we never felt rushed. After each beautiful cave, we had time to pause, take it all in, and truly appreciate our surroundings. After the tour, we stopped at a local restaurant where the owners treated us like family. We enjoyed a delicious family-style meal, played Dominican dominoes, and drank the coldest Presidente beers I had during my entire trip—especially the Vestida de Novia! On the way back, Daniel even stopped for ice cream before personally dropping each of us off at our destinations. I honestly can't stop recommending this experience. It showed me a completely different side of the Dominican Republic and created memories I'll never forget. Thank you, Daniel and Mistoline, for such an amazing day!

I had a great time on this escape into nature! The river was beautiful and very fun to swim in, and we were the only people there so it was truly peaceful. The hiking portion was very short but agility is required to walk over rocks and through rivers. Jonathan was super friendly and attentive and I felt very comfortable with him as a solo female traveler. The drive was a bit long but it was worth it to get out of the city into nature!

Great experience. My driver was exceptional and really informative. The cave of wonders was beautiful - so magical. Romona - only lunch but a nice setting over looking the river. Quite basic but did the trick. Chavon - a lovely setting up in the hills, the old stone buildings and amphitheatre were great to see. Marina - my driver did not know this was included so do not expect this on your trip as I did. However, he was super kind and took me anyway and we saw the lovely beach and the boats of the marina - and I treated him to some ice cream which we enjoyed whilst taking in the view.

This felt like a private tour as my party of four were the only participants. Leopoldo, our guide, was very knowledgeable of the history of both the cenotes (Los tres ojos) as well as the Columbus Lighthouse. He did all the explaining in English for the convenience of my son in law that speaks only English. The transportation was a little awkward, almost felt like they use Uber for transportation, but we really didn't mind and overall enjoyed the tour very much.

The walking tour with Juan Pablo (sin numero - the name he introduced himself as!), was FANTASTIC! He shared the history of the country as we hit the highlights of Zona Colonial. Pablo was patient in explaining everything to us in slow Spanish (and clarified anything we needed in English!)! He took great care of us from the beginning with a coffee at Cafe Barista to a beer at the end! Pablo is friendly, FUNNY and a fantastic guide - you’ll have a great time with him!

I had a good experience using this service. They communicated via WhatsApp a day prior to my arrival. My flight was delayed and they were accommodating. At the airport connected to wifi and they had a driver who picked me up within 10-15 minutes. No problems whatsoever.
