Highly recommend!
Highly recommend! The communication was key-very responsive and on point. The driver was nice, safe and patient. Our guide was very informative and considerate of our needs. I would suggest the private guided tour-it was on our time and a great spacious air conditioned vehicle.

Wonderful trip!
This was one of the best ATV tours I have ever been on . We went to a local home , but because the beach had a lot of seaweed we opted to skip the beach and ride around a little more on the ATV. So much fun !!!! Very kind and I love the fact they didn’t force you to buy anything .

This was a long day but...
This was a long day but worth it. Susie was the absolute BEST guide! She handled the French & English speakers and was amazing. The photographer was also great and so reasonably priced. Montana redonda had spectacular views, the swings (so cool), hammocks, look out tower, and more! The ride up the mountain was an adventure! The ranch & waterfall were even better. The fresh cacao & coconut bread, authentic lunch, waterfall, & clay mud mask are just a few of the highlights of this stop. Such a great look at the real Dominican culture and cooking. Last stop was the national park boat ride and cave exploring- boat were awesome. Beautiful views, lots of birds, cave drawings, and more. It was a lot of driving but Susie provided a ton of really cool information along the way. The whole day felt very relaxed and nothing was rushed. We also didn't feel like any of the three spots were busy or heavily populated with other tours/visitors. Highly recommend if you are looking for a full day excursion, you like nature/adventure, and you want to see the non resort side of the DR!

The BEST tour of what DR has to offer!
This was the BEST tour we have been on in a while!! Darwin was the most amazing tour guide, and we did so so much! He picked us up promptly, and we went horseback riding, visited the Huguey Basilica, went to a local market, had the most incredible local meal, visited a tobacco factory (and rolled our own cigars!), visited a local's house, where we got to see the process of making chocolate and coffee, went to Macao beach, and more! It was a full day of fun, and I would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting DR. So so so much fun!!! Thank you Darwin!!

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

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.

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!
